Oprah Winfrey's journey to fitness
Winfrey has been down on the weight loss journey since her knee surgery two years ago. She said, "Weight fluctuations occupied five decades of space in my brain, yo-yoing and feeling like why can't I just conquer this thing, believing willpower was my failing."
"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 said. "I felt stronger, more fit and more alive than I'd felt in years," she added.
In an interview with People magazine, Oprah Winfrey disclosed that her 1985 movie The Color Purple opened her eyes to look at her life in a different way.
