  • Whoopi Goldberg is opening up about her experience using weight loss drugs following Oprah Winfrey's TV special on the matter. "The View" co-host revealed on the Mar. 19 episode that she did use a weight loss drug at one point for her health. "I will tell you, I weighed almost 300 lbs. when I made 'Till.' I had taken all those steroids, I was on all this stuff. And one of the things that’s helped me dropped the weight was the Mounjaro. That’s what I used," she said. Whoopi went on to admit that she didn't realize how much weight she had gained until she looked at herself one day in the mirror and saw she needed a change. "I just always felt like me. And then I saw me and I thought, 'Oh! That's a lot of me,'" she joked. The EGOT winner isn't the only one at the table who shared her experience using Mounjaro. Sunny Hostin also admitted she used the same weight loss drug after gaining 40 lbs. a few years back because she was shameful over how she looked.

That is why I believe that it should be prioritized for people who desperately need it for their diabetes. Just needing to loose 40 pounds as opposed to controlling a disease is a huge difference. Losing 40 pounds can be accomplished fairly easy with diet. Thats all I'm saying.

    Sonny’s all over the place with her comments. She said she was fearful of going back on air 40 lbs over weight (which is totally understandable) and after she took the pills she got hate comments for being too skinny, not too big.
    Either way, Sonny’s sudden weight gain and even Whoopi’s at one point are not examples of people who struggle with chronic obesity. They didn’t have the disease of obesity, which suggests they could have used standard diet and exercise to return their previous weight. They used the drug as a quick fix to quickly lose weight and then stop taking it.
    Those who struggle with chronic obesity are meant to take it for the rest of their life.
    Both of these hosts show how the drug is being misused as a fad diet pill.

If it's out of stock because the self-absorbed celebrities take them for their own personal gain, what is a diabetic who relies on it meant to do?! Selfish, despicable and inconsiderate. Perhaps make better lifestyle choices! She has the money to hire a dietician, a chef and personal trainer.

      So you're saying that the people who take Viagra should feel disgusted because the medication was intended for the treatment of heart disease? Do you know the history of clinical medication? Many of doctor prescribed medications we all use today were originally intended to treat medical problems different from what they are used to treat today. This is the history of medication around the world not only in the USA. Pharmaceutical companies can always make larger batches of these medications but choose to make a more limited supply so they can keep the prices high. Also your statement about "making better lifestyle choices" could be used against the majority of diabetics. Remember most type 2 diabetics could have prevented their condition through a healthier diet and more adequate exercise. Sometimes when you point a finger at others they could point the same finger back at you.

    If you care about someone you need to know that being fat is not healthy as is not healthy to be super skinny. The food that we consume does not satisfy us yet everything has corn syrup and or sugar. Sugar is addictive and it makes you want more. When we eat whole food it fills you up and naturally you are satisfied and you do not fill hungry we need to do something about the things that are being put in our food that other countries do not allow because it makes people sick.

    So folks want to eat and eat and eat and then use drugs meant for diabetics to lose the weight? There are shortages of these meds and diabetics getting them is the priority not folks who don't like the way they look in a mirror or who have eaten themselves to obesity. Once you go off the drugs you will gain the weight back so those folks need to figure out why they are eating so much and change their eating habits. Diabetics don't have that option.
