Winfrey, whose weight has fluctuated for years, revealed she became more open to turning to drugs after conducting a panel discussion with medical experts in July. The media mogul had previously expressed during that chat that she believed turning to meds was taking the easy way out.I had the biggest aha along with many people in that audience, she recalled to People. I realized Id been blaming myself all these years for being overweight, and I have a predisposition that no amount of willpower is going to control.Winfrey shared just how much success she has seen with the unnamed medication by noting that after Thanksgiving she gained only half a pound instead of gaining eight pounds like [she] did last year.It was a second shot for me to live a more vital and vibrant life, she added.She also credited hiking for helping her loose weight.Its everything, she shared. I know everybody thought I was on it, but I worked so damn hard. I know that if Im not also working out and vigilant about all the other things, it doesnt work for me. I could eventually hike three to five miles every day and a 10-mile straight-up hike on weekends, she said. I felt stronger, more fit and more alive than Id felt in years.
