The media mogul opened up about her health journey on Tuesday’s inaugural episode of the “The Jamie Kern Lima Show” … recalling times she felt held back by public perception of her weight.

Oprah says in 1988, she was invited to Don Johnson‘s Christmas party … a big deal for her at the time, considering he was starring on the hit TV show “Miami Vice.”

She says the invitation came right as she was regaining a bunch of weight she had lost using a liquid diet … and at 157 pounds, she felt “too fat” to go and mingle.



Oprah had lost 67 pounds and made a big deal about it on her show … famously wheeling in a wagon full of fat to illustrate how much weight she shredded.
