Corden teamed up with WW, formerly known as Weight Watchers, sharing on WW’s YouTube channel, “I’m fed up with the way I look, I’m fed up with being unhealthy.”
“I’ve realized that every year for the past decade – probably even 15 years – on January 1 I’ve told myself and anyone that would listen that this is it, this is the year I’m going on a diet, I’m going to lose a load of weight,” the 42-year-old announced.
“Because of that, over Christmas, I’ve eaten everything that’s in the fridge because in my head in January I’m starting this diet and it’ll be a success,” the star candidly shared. “And as you can see it hasn’t … I’ve never been able to stick to anything like that. I’ve spent a long time accepting that this is my body and that’s it. But I really am sick and tired of just doing the same thing every year.”
Corden told fans he chose WW because of their emphasis on “wellness, health and feeling better and not just focusing on losing weight.”
In a separate statement, Corden spoke of his family, in particular his children, revealing, “I want to change the way that I live. I want to be better for my children and for my family. I don’t want to wake up tired, or feel embarrassed when I’m chasing my son on the soccer field and out of breath after three minutes. The weight is not the issue, it’s the wellness of it I am ready to tackle. I’m going to take this year and work towards getting healthy.”
