Jelly Roll weighed 540 pounds and realized he never met a person that heavy who lived to be forty years old. This scary thought hit him right before he turned middle-aged. He told Joe Rogan that he could actually feel his body dying inside. He was scared he would not be there to see his kids grow up.
Jelly Roll explained that food was his hardest addiction to beat because you cannot just stop eating forever. He had to learn how his brain works in a biological loop. Instead of using quick weight loss pills, he hired a cook and a trainer to help him. He started walking and running every single day to save his own life.

Some fans were actually mean about his change because they liked him being a “big guy.” One viewer said they missed the old look, while another person argued he was losing what made him relatable. Jelly Roll does not care about those comments because he did what he felt was the right thing to do.
Losing over 275 pounds changed how he feels as a man and a father. He used to stay on the sidelines because he was too tired to move. Now he is healthy enough to coach his son’s basketball team and run around the court. This new energy is exactly what he needs for his big new job on the show Star Search.

He is the perfect judge for Star Search because he knows what it feels like to be an underdog. He looks for singers who have a fire inside them rather than just a perfect voice. He told reporters that he feels like a whole new human being now, which is why his journey is the best for the role of a judge on Star Search.
