Jelly Roll<\/a> has been remarkably open about his weight-loss journey, celebrating major milestones while also being honest about the setbacks that come with changing lifelong habits.<\/p>\n While headlines have recently focused on his split from Bunnie Xo<\/a>, the “Save Me” singer is opening up about a different personal battle.<\/p>\n He kept it real with what has become one of his biggest challenges since losing nearly 300 pounds.<\/p>\n In a recent YouTube video<\/a>, Jelly Roll admitted he recently found himself stress eating, saying the “addict” in him quickly took over after a single indulgence.<\/p>\n Read More:<\/em>\u00a0<\/b>Country’s Most Important Modern Artists: Top 10 Jelly Roll Songs<\/a><\/p>\n He recalled stopping at a venue that served one of his favorite treats \u2014 a dairy-free skillet cookie \u2014 knowing it was something he typically avoids.<\/p>\n “I’m like a drug addict<\/a>,” he explained. “You can’t eat that, because if I eat one, I eat two. I eat four.”<\/p>\n Before long, he found himself grabbing dessert from a taco truck, then searching for a candy bar during a stop later that night.<\/p>\n “That fast, now I’ve consumed 2,000 extra calories today that I didn’t even see coming<\/a>,” he said. Jelly Roll compared the experience to addiction, saying once he slips, it’s difficult to regain control.<\/p>\n The singer said the struggle isn’t limited to junk food.<\/p>\n If you put a big bowl of strawberries in front of me and leave me alone, I will eat the entire bowl of strawberries.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Instead, he’s learned to portion out a serving and put the rest away \u2014 or avoid the food altogether. As he put it, “How you do anything is how you do everything.”<\/p>\n Read More:\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>Jelly Roll Hits a Setback in His Weight Loss Journey: \u2018I Have Lost My Way\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n Jelly Roll said that’s how he’s approached other addictions throughout his life<\/a>, explaining he’s never been someone who could do anything in moderation.<\/p>\n He also pushed back on the idea of “cheat meals,” saying one indulgence can quickly turn into a five-day food bender.<\/p>\n Jelly Roll said recognizing those patterns<\/a> has become one of the most important parts of his weight-loss journey.<\/p>\n He believes food addiction is often misunderstood because much of it happens behind closed doors, making it easy for others to overlook.<\/p>\n You don’t become the size you became without having a mental health issue. It’s something way deeper.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n For Jelly Roll, learning what he’s really hungry for \u2014 and understanding the situations that trigger unhealthy habits \u2014 has become just as important as losing the weight itself.<\/p>\n Gallery Credit: Billy Dukes<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nHis Biggest Struggle<\/h3>\n
