In a powerful live event hosted by WeightWatchers, Oprah Winfrey candidly confronted her own role in perpetuating toxic diet culture and unrealistic body standards for decades. Joined by celebrities like Rebel Wilson and Busy Philipps, as well as experts like sociologist Tressie McMillan Cottom, Oprah delved into the pervasive issues of weight stigma, body shaming, and the immense pressure women face to conform to impossible ideals. The event marked a significant shift for both Oprah and WeightWatchers, as they pivoted towards a focus on body acceptance, health, and the revolutionary potential of prescription obesity medications. Through raw storytelling and thought-provoking insights, "Making The Shift" sparked an urgent conversation about the need to dismantle the shame and stigma around weight, and embrace unconditional self-love and worthiness at any size.
