Jelly Roll is opening up about his struggles with overeating.
The 41-year-old country singer uploaded a YouTube video on Friday (July 10) in which he is shown talking to a fan and providing some advice on losing weight, when he revealed he had been “overeating the last three or four days.”
He described it as “stress eating,” and said “what else happened was the addict in me came out.”
Jelly Roll continued, “We had this show at this one spot that I love their catering. 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 eat one, I eat two. I eat four. Later that night, I’m at the taco truck getting the peanut butter fluff. Next thing I know, we’re at the rest stop, I’m looking for a chocolate bar. I’m like, ‘Damn, that fast, now I’ve consumed 2,000 extra calories today that I didn’t even see coming.’”
The “Hands Up” singer said others don’t necessarily understand the struggle with food addiction and identifying triggers, saying you “don’t become the size you became without having a mental health issue.”
“It’s something way deeper,” he added. “It’s a different thing. But once you get to that point of really realizing what you’re hungry for, everything changes.”
Jelly Roll is currently going through a divorce with Bunnie Xo. He previously talked about it during a concert in June, revealing that he and Bunnie are still “best friends.”
The podcast host did a whole episode about their divorce, but then took it down. Find out why.
