Oprah Winfrey addressed the role she played in perpetuating diet culture over the years in a recent livestream. Winfrey spoke to the in-person and virtual audience at the WeightWatchers “Making The Shift: A New Way to Think About Weight” livestream on Thursday, May 9 about reaching a “pivotal moment in the way we talk about and the way we think about our bodies.” At the start of the livestream, Winfrey took a moment to speak about her own role in “diet culture” over the years.
“Sky, mountains, creeks, trees, grass, wildflowers — I just can’t seem to get enough. So I made a vow this summer to log my 10,000 steps each day and get outdoors to do it,” Winfrey told O magazine in 2016. “I’m ready for the open road. New experiences. A new way of being in my body. Feeling fit and strong.
