Country star Colt Ford discusses his health journey alongside Jelly Roll, emphasizing the struggles of weight loss in the public eye. Ford, who previously weighed 340 pounds, began to prioritize his health after a myasthenia gravis diagnosis and a near-fatal heart attack. He shared insights on overcoming challenges related to public perception, stressing authenticity is vital. Ford has shed weight and made lifestyle changes, abstaining from fried foods and soda. He recognized the significance of his transformation when he declined a fast-food offering from his wife on his birthday, reinforcing his commitment to a healthier lifestyle.
You start to think when you're a big guy like that and people love you, 'What if I lose weight? Are they going to still like me?''
There's much easier diets, but when I tried to lose weight before... you feel like you're working hard and you still look in the mirror and go, 'This sucks.'
I knew I had successfully given up my fast-food addiction when I was able to turn down my wife's offer to go to Waffle House to celebrate my 55th birthday.
I'm eating a lot healthier. It's nice to feel good and be able to tell people like Jelly that.
