Well, hold onto your kale smoothies because Oprah Winfrey just served up some real talk about her weight loss journey, and let’s just say, she’s not exactly doing cartwheels over it.

In a three-hour YouTube extravaganza with WeightWatchers, Oprah spilled the tea on her rollercoaster ride through diet culture hell, joined by fellow celebs like Rebel Wilson, Amber Riley, and WeightWatchers CEO Sima Sistani. Oh, and there were doctors and experts too, because apparently, this was a full-on dieting Avengers assemble situation.

Oprah, the queen of talk shows and yo-yo diets, confessed that she’s been a card-carrying member of the diet culture club for way too long. From magazine covers to her iconic talk show, she’s been dishing out weight loss advice like it’s going out of style.

But here’s the kicker: that infamous “wagon of fat” moment? Yeah, she’s not exactly framing that one on her mantelpiece. Turns out, starving yourself on a liquid diet might not be the healthiest move after all (who knew?!), and Oprah learned that the hard way.

She spilled the beans on how the constant media scrutiny over her weight had her feeling like a contestant on the world’s worst reality show. And let’s be real, nobody wants that kind of drama in their life, especially when it comes with a side of shame and a sprinkle of national punchline.

So, if you’re looking for some weight loss wisdom from Oprah, here it is: diets are about as reliable as a chocolate teapot, and shame is about as useful as a screen door on a submarine. So let’s all raise a glass (of water, because hydration is key, people) to embracing our curves, kicking diet culture to the curb, and living our best lives, one cheesy joke at a time.
