00:00Woo!
00:02Yay, yay, yay, yay!
00:03This season on I Am Jazz.
00:06Two years ago, I was on my way to one of the greatest
00:09institutions in the world.
00:11But I was actually struggling severely
00:13with mental health issues.
00:15All right, once it's zeroes, I started binge eating,
00:17and I gained weight and more weight and more weight.
00:20And now, almost 100 pounds heavier, here I am today.
00:25It's a big old belly.
00:26Oh, my god.
00:28The side view.
00:30I'm out of shape.
00:31Be easy on me.
00:33Having all this extra weight, I can't do so many things
00:35with my body that I used to be able to do.
00:37Ah!
00:39Hey.
00:40Hey.
00:41How are you?
00:42This is my first formal date with a trans woman.
00:44Oh.
00:45Oh, yeah.
00:47Sander is this little ball of geeky juiciness.
00:52I don't think I've done something like this
00:54carefree in a while.
00:55This is a great first date with an amazing
00:58and beautiful woman.
00:59You made me stronger.
01:00Sander went ice skating the other day with Hope,
01:04this beautiful trans woman.
01:06Sander, he gets along very well with transgender women.
01:09His dear, dear friend, Miss Peppermint.
01:11I just wonder if they've dabbled in the...
01:14Shirtless Sander, there he is.
01:17I don't know what my relationship with Sander is.
01:19I've actually went on a date with a trans woman as well.
01:21Oh, oh.
01:22And there's chemistry there.
01:24You know, Sander's not one of my girlfriends.
01:26If I can't have sex with the person, could I see myself with someone who's not received
01:31her bottom surgery yet?
01:33I'm not sure.
01:37A typical morning's breakfast.
01:39Fast food, maybe a donut or two, and then maybe two bagels.
01:43I don't judge her by that.
01:44I'm just shocked.
01:45We're not putting butter on it right now, Jazz.
01:47I know.
01:48You need to chill right now.
01:49I know.
01:50You need to chill.
01:51Even when we think we're doing something right, she falls off the wagon.
01:54How much butter did you put on the pasta?
01:56Put one tablespoon.
01:57Did you measure it?
01:58No, no, no.
01:59That's not one tablespoon.
02:00I do experience fat shaming for my family.
02:01It makes me feel really humiliated.
02:04Mom, I need you to get up.
02:06This isn't going to cut it at Harvard.
02:07I'm not going to be here to get you up.
02:09At least Greg and I are around to prevent her from oversleeping.
02:12What's going to happen when we're not around?
02:14You've got to really consider whether you could even go up to school.
02:16As long as I get off my lazy ass, then...
02:18You keep making empty promises.
02:20You're like, I got this.
02:21I can do this.
02:22I'm going to change.
02:23I can tell you that it's different now, because it's now or never.
02:25It's not, though.
02:26It hasn't been.
02:27It's now or never at this point.
02:28Prove it, because you're all tall.
02:29Oh, my God.
