Oprah Winfrey's new emotional, motivational Weight Watchers commercial has brought Twitter to tears!
The television legend premiered the U.K. version of her honest and raw television spot on Christmas Eve. And her frank and emotive admissions have created an online sobfest.
"Inside every overweight woman is a woman she knows she can be," Winfrey, 61, tells her audience in the minute-long TV segment. "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," she admits, before gearing up for her motivational moment.
"Nothing you've ever been through is wasted," the television host, who purchased 10 percent of Weight Watchers shares back in October, proclaims. "So every time I tried and failed, every time I tried again, and every time I tried again, has brought me to this most powerful moment to say, 'If not now, when?'"
But while Winfrey's endorsement was sure to be good for business (indeed, the TV icon made a massive $70 million in her stocks after announcing her involvement in the company), the online emotional outpouring that followed was less expected.
"May have teared up during Oprah's Weight Watchers commercial," one Twitter user wrote.
