Transcript
00:00So how much overall have you lost?
00:02About 300 pounds.
00:04What was the main reason that got you motivated to take this huge transformation?
00:09At first, it was like people were just like saying, you know, look good, you know, whatever.
00:13And then like, you know, I loved Sugar Bear and moved away.
00:17And so like, then I wanted to show him that, you know, I was actually worth it.
00:21And then I wanted to do something for myself.
00:23So I had the gastric bypass, I mean the gastric sleeve, sorry.
00:27And then I had the skin removal surgery done.
00:30Besides the gastric bypass, what was the, maybe the second hardest part of losing all this weight?
00:35Um, actually maintaining and being able to not do the temptations.
00:41When you, when you see yourself in the mirror now, like, what do you think?
00:45Are you, cause you look amazing.
00:46I'm like, oh my God, people are obliged to see me for me.
00:50What does Alana think?
00:53A lot of them had no really kind of opinion or whatever.
00:57They're going to love me and I'm their mom.
00:59And I'm just, you know, to a lot of people that see my circle, they're like, you're just you.
01:02What's your favorite thing about this new look that you have?
01:06Um, I guess it, I tell you all the time, I guess people are seeing me for me.
01:12Is there anything that you're doing now that you wouldn't have done before?
01:16Exercise.
01:18But I mean, with the new, like this new sort of confidence you have and the new way you look.
01:23Or is there anything social?
01:24Um, I haven't really been able to do anything.
01:25I've been in hiding for seven weeks and I just came to New York so I haven't been able to do anything.
01:30So I really haven't had the time to be able to do anything that I wanted to do.
01:34You look hot though.
01:35Do you feel like you're ready to get back out there and start dating?
01:38I don't know.
01:39I mean, if it falls in my lap, that's fine.
01:41I mean, I'm not going out looking for it.
01:43What does, what does Sugar Bear think?
01:45Has he, have you gotten his reaction?
01:47Um, he just said, oh my God, she's hot.
01:49But outside of that, I mean, I can give a shit less about what his reaction is, honestly.
01:53If you could give one workout tip to people who are like in the same position.
01:59Cause I know you work with a trainer.
02:01We met him.
02:02He was actually on our show and he's, he's serious business.
02:06What is, what is the one thing you could recommend that other people do?
02:10Um, just don't give up.
02:12You know what I'm saying?
02:13I mean, when you think it's getting rough, just keep on and keep pushing through.
02:16Uh, what's the one food that you had to give up that was like the hardest that you really loved?
02:21Um, I'd have to say Popeye's fried chicken.
02:24Fried chicken.
02:25What's the one, do you still have a cheap food that you allow yourself to have?
02:28Oh yeah, Little Debbie's, Snack Case, when Mother Nature's here.
02:31That's pretty good.
02:33Um, I'm just being real.
02:35I mean, shit, I'm sorry.
02:37Are you excited about continuing to do the show and be, you know, when you started on TV, you had a very different look and now you're this whole new person.
02:44I mean, whatever happens in this world.
02:46I mean, our series, our finale is tonight.
02:48I mean, so whatever happens, um, after this amazing journey, then I'll take it.
02:55If it's worth me going and doing, then I will.
02:58If not, then, you know, we're back out of the spotlight again.
03:00Did you feel hot?
03:01I was already, I was already hot.
03:03It was hotter as Kimmy likes to say.
