00:00So we talked about the weight loss. What was the journey to get there? Because mine was a trip to
00:07Houston.
00:08What's that mean? A trip to Houston?
00:11I had surgery. I didn't have time to lose weight.
00:14I mean, you know, like I tried. I tried. I ran. I ran. I ate well. I stopped drinking. I
00:22did all the I did everything.
00:23And it just wasn't working for me. So I took a trip and then I came back 22 and a
00:27half pounds lighter.
00:28And every week after that, I kept losing weight. But then I had to change, of course, my lifestyle.
00:31But what was your process?
00:34Oh, man, this is five years. When I started when I started therapy, that's when I really started taking my
00:40health seriously.
00:41It was blood tests, checking your hormones. It was food tests to see what, you know, you're allergic to, what
00:48foods make you blow, what foods hurt your stomach.
00:51It was, you know, changing my relationship with food because I used to feel like, oh, eating less means you
00:57lose weight.
00:57When it was actually eating more means you lose weight, which was a mind for yourself.
01:01Right, right, right, right.
01:02Because we're just, we're taught the opposite.
01:04It was not paying attention to the scale and just being consistent and showing up at the gym and cooking
01:10instead of going out to eat.
01:11Like, it literally was just, I mean, there is no secret way to being healthy.
01:17And if you want to lose weight, there's no secret way.
01:20It's literally just discipline and consistency or surgery.
01:24And you talked about your body.
01:25You said to people online, following in my DMs because I've lost weight.
01:29And you said, keep that same fat phobic energy because ain't nothing changed with the scale.
01:34Who was in your DMs?
01:35Did Drake slide?
01:36Because, you know, Drake likes him thick.
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.
01:44It's like the DMs went from, hey, sis, to like being a little bit more flirty.
01:48And it was weird to me.
01:49Like, I've known you for a long time.
01:51And just because I may look a little bit different, like, you don't get to hit on me now.
01:56Like, that's weird, bro.
01:57Because you liked me when I was fat.
01:59But because I was fat, you didn't want to hit on me.
