Oprah Winfrey is some woman. She’s created an empire, and so many people rightly worship her as the inspirational goddess that she is.
However, she still struggles in certain parts of her life, as this recent ad for Weight Watchers proves. Her battle with weight has been something she herself has always documented, but this ad is really getting people.
She talks in the advert about her struggles with self-esteem: ‘Many times you look in the mirror and you don’t even recognize your own self because you got lost, buried in the weight that you carry.’, and it seems like a lot of people have been relating to what she’s been saying.
An ad for weight watchers featuring Oprah’s struggles throughout the years just made me cry. I need the holidays to be over. STAT

Oprah’s Weight Watchers commercial gets me on the verge of tears every time. Maybe I should turn off Golden Girls. — Jesse (@justapieceofsky) December 27, 2015
Interestingly, Oprah recently bought a 10% stake in the company stating: “I believe in the program so much I decided to invest in the company and partner in its evolution.” The Guardian reported that the share prices skyrocketed after Winfrey became involved.
