Star Jones finally talks about her battles with her weight and her gastric bypass surgery.

“I was an addict for all practical purposes, that I had never stuck to a real diet, that I’d never stuck to a real exercise program,” the former View cohost says in an episode of The Oprah Winfrey.

“The doctor said, ‘If you don’t make changes, you will die.’ I had no choice,” Jones continued.

Jones, 47, is still a bit sensitive about the criticism on her decision to undergo gastric bypass surgery – that helped her drop 160 pounds in 2003.

“When you hear people say, ‘Oh, you took the easy way out….’ I would have longed for an easy way. It was not an easy way. It was…the hardest struggle of my whole entire life and I still struggle,” Jones said.

Even though she’s kept the weight off, Jones admitted: “I’m still 300 pounds in my head some days.”

“I was ashamed…That’s the word that is actually the real word. I was ashamed that I couldn’t control my weight, that I was an addict for all practical purposes, that I had never stuck to a real diet, that I had never stuck to a real exercise program” Jones told Oprah.
