In 2019,James Cordenresponded toBill Maher, who’d done a piece suggesting we bring backfat-shaming.
The late-night talk show hostadmitted tohis audience that he lived his life on and offdietsfor most of his life.
Neither does fat-shaming inspire change.

Quite the opposite, Corden reminded his colleague: it leads tolow self-esteemanddepression.
Months later, Corden was back on air talking about his weight, again.
In November 2019, hetold Alan Carrhe’d committed to a diet.

“I’m not drinking at the moment.
It’s killing me but I’m trying to lose a bit of weight,” he said.
Nor was he letting himself eatbread.
“I love bread so much,” he cried.
But 2021 is a blank page.
This year, Corden is making real progress with hisweight loss goals.
In fact, the television personality recently celebrated having lost 16 pounds in five weeks.
For Corden, joining the weight-loss program meant transforming the way he eats, moves, and conceptualizeshealthy living.
Key to his program?
The comedian has surrounded himself with a circle of support.
“I just can’t bear it, so I’m using the word hates.
But my wife is so good at it” (viaPeople).
We suspect that a key part of James Corden’s success thus far has been his change in attitude.
But he sees things differently now.
I would like to be the healthiest person to my family for my children.
I would like to feel better.'"
