Jelly Roll also reflected on how his addiction and weight gain affected their family. “I realized that in addiction, the family will kind of cater to the addict,” he explained. “I realized then how much my addiction was hurting this family.”
Jelly Roll once weighed over 500 pounds.
At his heaviest, Jelly Roll weighed 550 pounds and felt like a “zombie.” He expressed remorse for not starting his weight-loss journey earlier, stating, “I cannot believe I walked around like a 550-pound zombie for years.”
While discussing his weight loss journey, he revealed that he opted against using GLP-1s for assistance. He explained that past treatment of his body led him to fear possible side effects.
