In her debut commercial for the weight loss company, Jackson shares words of encouragement for her fans about weight loss success.
“What’s so funny, and can be so frustrating is that we all want success, and we all want to be happy, but what stops me is when I don’t have a plan,” Janet explains in the commercial. “I understand what it’s like to have weight issues. I’ve dealt with it all my life.”
“There is a secret to success. It’s very simple. You can’t wish for what you want, hope for what you want, just dream about what you want. You have to have a plan, and then you have to get on it,” she concludes.
During a recent visit to Good Morning America, Jackson explained that her weight struggles and body image issues began during her childhood while on the set of the iconic 70s sitcom “Good Times.”
“I didn’t like it. We always find something wrong with us, somewhere,” Janet explained. “I could really easily pick myself apart and that’s what I did.”
The newly slimmed down singer-actress also explained her reasons for becoming the new spokesperson for NutriSystem.
“It’s a matter of learning how to keep it off, that maintenance and they have a program for that. My success plan is to just be healthy and feel good about me,” explained Jackson. “All of us, we have that one pair of jeans that we have a relationship with…I’m able to look in the mirror. I couldn’t do that before. I’m very grateful to be able do what I love most, what I really feel I’m was here to do and that’s to help others.”
Well, it seems like Jackson is finally happy with herself and her weight and we congratulate her for making her health a priority. Hopefully, her weight-loss triumph can inspire others to work towards bettering their health.
