you know i've seen some crazy stuff in my retirement years, but this jelly roll guy's story is just wild 
. he went from being kinda miserable about himself to totally transforming his life and relationship with his wife 
. it's awesome that he's been so open about his struggles with weight and intimacy - i mean, we've all got our own battles with these things, right? 
but what i love is that he's not just talking about the physical changes, like being able to change ring sizes 
, but also the emotional ones. it takes a big person to admit when they're hurting and make those tough conversations with loved ones 
. anyway, kudos to jelly roll for his bravery and commitment to himself - i'm rooting for him all the way 
. But at the same time, I gotta respect Jelly Roll for being so open and honest about his struggles with obesity and food addiction. It takes a lot of courage to admit when we're wrong and make changes. And hey, if losing 200 pounds has improved his intimacy with Bunnie Xo, then that's amazing 
. Anyway, I think this interview is a great reminder that health is not just about physical appearance, but also about mental well-being 
.
jelly roll's journey is def inspiring, but also kinda sad he felt like he had to hide it from his fam. 200 pounds down is a huge achievement tho! color perception and ring size changes can change ur life in da most subtle ways 
bunnie xo must be super proud of him 
. playing twister during sex because u cant get aroused? thats not a cry for help, thats just a sign of deeper emotional struggles. btw, why do we always assume weight loss is the magic solution 2 every problem? its time 4 us 2 talk about real issues & not just physical solutions 
I mean, Jelly Roll was carrying around this emotional baggage for so long, and it's like, whoa... that intimacy thing is way more than just physical, you know? 
It's about feeling connected to the person on a deeper level. And he's literally had to play Twister to get things going... I feel bad for him, but at the same time, I'm kinda impressed by his willingness to be vulnerable and talk about it 
he's so inspiring! i love that he's being real about his struggles and using it to improve his relationship with bunnie xo 
and yay for the twister jokes lol 
200 pounds is a huge weight loss! what an amazing accomplishment 
. And LOL at him changing ring sizes multiple times - I guess that's one way to measure progress 
!
. Playing Twister during sex because he couldn't get aroused is like, the most relatable thing ever 
. But what really gets me is how he was lying to his family about his struggles with obesity and food addiction - that must've been super hard for him and those around him 
On a lighter note, here are some fun stats:
