Jelly Roll has opened up about his weight loss journey.
The 39-year-old singer has spoken candidly about how his issues with food started when he was a child.
"The battle was with the food addiction, changing the way I've looked at food for the last 39 years," he told People magazine.
"I've never had a healthy relationship with food, so that was the hard part. But once you get into that discipline and commitment, it's like an avalanche. Once that little snowball started rolling, it was on its way."
The Save Me singer added, "Nobody in my house ever had (a healthy relationship with food), so that was the hard part, really fighting that demon at first and getting into that discipline and that commitment."
After starting on his health and fitness journey earlier this year, Jelly Roll has lost 110 lbs (49.8 kg) and has now adjusted his lifestyle to maintain momentum in his weight loss journey.
He now plays basketball every day while on tour to keep fit, which he revealed has has helped both his physical and mental health.
"It's cool because there was once a time in life that the culture I built on tour was the opposite. It revolved around alcohol and drugs," he says. "And now our tour culture is around good eating and around exercising and doing emotional check-ins with our crew every day."
