Discussing the way “stress eating” has impacted his weight-loss journey, Jelly Roll has dropped 275 pounds over the past two years without using any weight-loss medication.
In January, the superstar singer-rapper announced that he reached his goal weight of 265 pounds, but in a new YouTube video titled My Advice For Losing Weight, the now 41-year old musician confessed that he’s been struggling with portion control in recent weeks, adding:
“I’ve been overeating the last three or four days and I was feeling myself stress eat.” “The addict in me came out. We had this show at this one spot that I love their catering, and they have a dairy-free skillet cookie. I don’t eat nothing like that. I’m like a drug addict. You can’t eat that because if I ate one, I’ll eat two – I ate four. So later that night, I’m at the taco truck getting a peanut butter fluff.”
Recounting how he ended up consuming 2,000 extra calories, the artist (born Jason DeFord) said:
“It’s like the taste of blood (for a shark). Now it’s going to take me a whole week to get that completely out of my mouth.” “People are like, ‘Oh, you can have one for a cheat meal.’ I was like, ‘You can have one cheat meal! I can’t.’ You know what I’m saying? Because it might be a five-day food bender (for me).”
Explained that he tries to give himself “grace” when he overeats, but now “makes it a rule” not to have two days of ignoring his diet, the Grammy award winner emphasized:
“The problem is it starts compounding in the days.” “Like I teach people whenever we are (talking) music, you got to have a short memory. You hit a bad note, who cares? The next note already started.”
Married since 2016, in June Jelly Roll confirmed he had filed for divorce from his wife, Bunnie Xo, in late May.
