Oprah Winfrey<\/strong> looked lovely at the American Ballet Theatre Fall Gala held in New York City on Wednesday, Oct. 22. The former talk show host showed off her slim figure in a white gown that featured a black belted fabric that accentuated her trim waistline.<\/p>\n

Winfrey was all smiles at the event as she posed for photos on the blue carpet. The appearance comes nearly two years after she admitted to using weight-loss drugs to help her maintain her physique.<\/p>\n

“It was public sport to make fun of me for 25 years,” Winfrey told People magazine<\/a> in December 2023. “I have been blamed and shamed, and I blamed and shamed myself.”<\/p>\n

“After knee surgery, I started hiking and setting new distance goals each week. I could eventually hike three to five miles every day and a 10-mile straight-up hike on weekends,” she continued. “I felt stronger, more fit and more alive than I\u2019d felt in years.”<\/p>\n

“I eat my last meal at 4 o\u2019clock, drink a gallon of water a day, and use the WeightWatchers principles of counting points. I had an awareness of [weight-loss] medications, but felt I had to prove I had the willpower to do it. I now no longer feel that way,” she said, adding, “I was actually recommending it to people long before I was on it myself.”<\/p>\n

Winfrey has long struggled with maintaining a healthy weight and has been open and honest about her ongoing weight loss journey. She opened up about taking a GLP-1 medication on an episode of her podcast.<\/p>\n

“One of the things that I realized the very first time I took a GLP-1 was that all these years I thought that thin people just had more willpower, they ate better foods, they were able to stick to it longer, they never had a potato chip, and then I realized the very first time I took the GLP-1 that, ‘Oh, they’re not even thinking about it. They’re only eating when they’re hungry, and they’re stopping when they’re full,” she said on the podcast<\/a> earlier this year.<\/p>\n
