Jelly Roll Addresses Stress Eating Amid Divorce

Country music artist Jelly Roll has openly addressed his recent struggles with stress eating following his separation from Bunnie Xo. He shared his experiences in a candid conversation with a fan, highlighting how his indulgence quickly turned into a binge session. Jelly Roll explained that his issues with obesity are tied to an addictive mindset, similar to his past substance abuse.

In a YouTube video on July 10, he admitted to overeating for several days, noting, “the addict in me came out.” He described his eating habits as problematic, especially when faced with tempting situations like enjoying a dairy-free skillet cookie. This impulse led to consuming an excess of 2,000 calories in one day.

“If I eat one, I eat two. I eat four. Later that night, I’m at the taco truck getting the peanut butter fluff,” he confessed.

Despite previously weighing over 500 pounds, Jelly Roll celebrated losing 275 pounds in a significant health transformation. He remains committed to his struggle with food, acknowledging moderation as his biggest challenge.

The singer revealed, “I can’t have one burger, I got to have five.” This extends to healthier options as well, such as strawberries. He emphasized the importance of avoiding temptation altogether.

Reflecting on his journey, Jelly Roll admitted that the all-or-nothing mentality affects his approach to food as well. He revealed it’s similar to how he once dealt with other substances.

“Either we’re smoking all day, we’re drinking all night, we’re doing cocaine,” Jelly Roll explained. By recognizing these patterns, he avoids certain trigger foods, like the skillet cookie.

This awareness also influences his management of cheat meals, which could easily spiral into extended “food benders.” Jelly Roll shared insights into the mental and emotional challenges behind obesity.

“You don’t become the size you became without having a mental health issue,” he said.

He believes that understanding deeper issues and triggers can change one’s interaction with food.

As Jelly Roll navigates his divorce from Bunnie Xo, citing irreconcilable differences, he reflects on their nearly decade-long marriage. Documents show he petitioned for divorce in Tennessee on May 18. The couple wed in August 2016 during a Las Vegas ceremony, adding layers to Jelly Roll’s personal narrative.
