on a different medication my doctor chased me for like 2 years and I was like no I'm afraid of it I already have thyroid problems I was afraid after fans praise Clarkson's new look earlier this year the singer credited diet and exercise with her transformation telling people that she had a more active lifestyle and eats healthier after moving to New York now revealing that medication has also helped that process and reflecting on her journey I was like my heaviest I was like 203 yeah and I'm 53 and a half yeah well [Music] yeah yeah but
it's funny though because people assume oh she must have been miserable or depressed whatever and I was like no I was not I was not but the Superstar says she needed a change drugs like OIC and monjaro have become increasingly popular for weight loss including among celebrities most famously Oprah who back in December shared that she used a medication and just last week reflected on her public discussion of weight loss in the past I have been a steadfast participant in this diet culture other celebrities have discussed taking the drugs including NBA legend Charles Barkley who
says he lost over 60 pounds taking mararo man I started this drug called Manjaro uh about six months ago it's been amazing now after a long journey Kelly Clarkson is speaking out hitting the high notes of a healthy lifestyle and feeling great Kelly mentioned that she had spoken to her doctor because she was trying to figure out the right path to go to lose weight so what made her decide to go this route so Hoda she said back in January that she was pre-diabetic and that her doctors had been chasing her for about two years
