“You all have watched me diet and diet and diet,” Oprah said to the audience, explaining that it is “a recurring thing because my body always seems to want to go back to a certain weight.”

“This is a world that has shamed people for being overweight forever. And all of us who’ve lived it know that people treat you differently, they just do,” she declared, adding that there is “stigma” around the conversation.

“It’s that thing where people are like, ‘Let me show you the gloves. Would you like to look at the handbags? Because we know that there’s nothing in here for you,’ ” she said. “There is a condescension. There is stigma,” she concluded.
