"I have eaten bread every single day.This is the joy for me.I love bread. I now just manage it so I don't deny myself bread... that's the genius of this program," Winfrey said on her video post.

The weight loss program taught the host about moderating through a value system. Healthy foods like vegetables are assigned fewer points than unhealthy foods like french fries, so participants can theoretically eat what they want. In Winfrey's case, she can still eat bread while undergoing the program.

According to People, Oprah Winfrey revealed that she already tried everything to lose weight, but with Weight Watchers' program it lets her think that it's not a diet at all.

"I was really at my wits end.I had tried everything.Every other time I've ever gone on a diet, I've gone on a diet and then gone off the diet, because I had gotten to the weight I'd wanted to be.The difference is, I've made the shift and this is the way I'm going to live for the rest of my life," Oprah revealed in a private Q&A session for Weight Watchers members.

"None of those people had stood in their closets with three different sizes to try on on the floor, where the waistline didn't fit and the arms didn't fit, and the hips didn't fit, and you can't get it zipped, and felt that shame and that humiliation of 'Wow, I can't believe I'm in this position again. Nobody who'd ever been at that point was offended by these commercials," she added.

Oprah Winfrey was chosen to be the Weight Watchers' spokesperson due to her willingness to change, causing her to empower her fans to go the same path with her in losing weight.
