00:00So, we talked about the weight loss, what was the journey to get there because mine
00:06was a trip to Houston.
00:07What's that mean?
00:08A trip to Houston?
00:09I had surgery.
00:10I didn't have time to lose weight.
00:14I tried, I ran, I ate well, I stopped drinking, I did everything and it just wasn't working
00:24for me.
00:25So, I took a trip and then I came back 22 and a half pounds lighter and every week after
00:29that I kept losing weight but then I had to change, of course, my lifestyle.
00:32What was your process?
00:33Oh man, this is five years.
00:35When I started therapy, that's when I really started taking my health seriously.
00:41It was blood tests, checking your hormones, it was food tests to see what you're allergic
00:48to, what foods make you bloat, what foods hurt your stomach, it was changing my relationship
00:54with food because I used to feel like, oh, eating less means you lose weight when it
00:57was actually eating more means you lose weight which was a mindfuck in itself because we're
01:03taught the opposite.
01:04It was not paying attention to the scale and just being consistent and showing up at the
01:09gym and cooking instead of going out to eat.
01:12It literally was just, I mean, there is no secret way to being healthy and if you want
01:18to lose weight, there's no secret way.
01:20It's literally just discipline and consistency or surgery.
01:24You talked about your body.
01:25You said to people online, falling in my DMs because I've lost weight and you said keep
01:29that same fat phobic energy because ain't nothing changed with the scale.
01:34Who was in your DMs?
01:35Did Drake slide?
01:36No.
01:37Because you know, Drake likes them big.
01:38No, you know what?
01:39It's not even famous people.
01:40It's like guys that I've known for a long time or guys that I've worked with.
01:44The DMs went from, hey sis, to being a little bit more flirty and it was weird to me.
01:49I've known you for a long time and just because I may look a little bit different, you don't
01:55get to hit on me now.
01:56That's weird, bro.
01:58Because you liked me when I was fat, but because I was fat, you didn't want to hit on me.
