You know it was a learning experience. Yeah, 0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:13.359 it was a learning experience. 0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:16.560 Didn't help or hurt you in any way like your music. 0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:22.480 I mean, I'm doing the same thing I was doing before. 0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:29.079 You know, you know it. 0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:30.640 Was okay thing. 0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:38.760 You were You were really teary eyed, and I was 0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:43.919 because like, what was what was that about? It was 0:02:43.960 --> 0:02:47.880 a show where she brings a depth, Anty brings his mom. 0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:49.840 You know, she's discovered some of the biggest and the 0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:52.080 best Nicki Minaj a bunch of people. But she brings 0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:54.000 the rap girls on and she tries to coach them 0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:56.079 through building their careers. And then at the end there's 0:02:56.120 --> 0:02:58.440 one that she picks that she focuses on. You didn't 0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:00.760 make it to the end, but you were on the show. Yeah, 0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:02.920 but one of the clips that I remember seeing going 0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:04.240 viral from you was when you were breaking down. 0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:06.000 You were really upset. Talk about that moment. It is 0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:06.639 with the experience. 0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:09.160 So I just felt like I was put in a Okay, 0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:12.400 so a lot of people said I was being difficult, 0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:14.600 but I feel like I was put in a difficult situation. 0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:19.400 I was in a store. I could fit nothing, you know. 0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:21.679 So when I finally found something that I could fit, 0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:25.720 it was like, oh, that's not a boss, take that off, 0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:28.440 you know. So I felt some type of way, you know. 0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:32.000 But yeah, I just feel like I was put in 0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:34.280 a difficult situation and I was trying. I was seeing 0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:37.360 everybody able to fit things, and you know, I'm getting 0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:39.520 frustrated because I can't find nothing. I don't want to 0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:43.960 make nobody mad. I want to you know, look good 0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:47.520 and stuff like that. So that's why I started crying. 0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:49.280 I was I was a little frustrated. 0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:51.800 You know, just if you walked in and you know, 0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:53.680 you said the chair was too small, so we had 0:03:53.680 --> 0:03:55.400 to bring the part of the sectional for you to 0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:57.480 sit in, and you said something you said, And this 0:03:57.520 --> 0:04:00.520 is what I'm talking about accommodations. Right, we live in 0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:02.200 the world that's not always going to be able to 0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:03.720 accommodate people that we. 0:04:03.680 --> 0:04:05.960 Should though we should because we're not all the same, 0:04:06.200 --> 0:04:09.200 you know, I feel like we should, Like why not. 0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:13.360 I feel like I feel like a lot of times 0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:19.000 people think that bigger people obese, the F word, people 0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:22.600 should just be in a house, when it's like, we're not. Yeah, 0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:28.440 the F word. I'm not saying that word. 0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:31.239 About the gatesler. 0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:35.240 I'm like, I'm competing, but I just feel like it 0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:39.960 should be accommodated. Bigger people should be accommodated, just like 0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:45.880 we accommodate the LGBT community, you know, all those other communities. 0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:49.880 I just feel like we we outside, you know, if 0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:53.000 we inside is get up while you while you in 0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:54.880 a house, you should be doing this, you should be 0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:58.520 doing that when we outside. It's like why why you're 0:04:58.560 --> 0:04:59.160 not in the house. 0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:00.200 Well people would. 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:04.720 Who actually told you that? Because like that's crazy. I 0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:07.560 don't believe that, you know, F people should stay in 0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:08.000 the house. 0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:10.640 I mean, but I mean that's just that's how it is. 0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:13.520 We go outside and people looking at us crazy, like 0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:16.680 you know, we were getting stared at for what because 0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:17.159 we big? 0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:22.840 You know, like I know a lot of times even 0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:25.679 seeing it like with like how Lizzen although she's lost 0:05:25.680 --> 0:05:27.920 a lot of weight now, you know how it could 0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:30.280 be like some of the clothes that the F people wear, 0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:31.960 you know, where the things is hanging out. 0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:35.719 And y'all, you know, try to well wear the smart don't. 0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:41.599 I don't live in the world where the skinny people 0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:44.240 when the F people, I don't. That's not my reality. 0:05:44.640 --> 0:05:48.559 I am a human being. I am regular, just because 0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:50.960 I'm outside with my my Like I said, I've been 0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:52.840 doing this a long time. And when I said I've 0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:55.320 been doing this a long time, I've been putting on 0:05:56.040 --> 0:05:58.600 for people like me for a long time. I did 0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:02.719 a nicked excuse me, I did a naked photo shoot 0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:05.920 in twenty seventeen. Not all the big girls showing their stomach, 0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:09.000 they showing skin. You know, the people wasn't doing that. 0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:11.240 We had porn stars doing it, but we didn't have 0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:14.719 regular people doing it doing it. I think fel like 0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:16.480 I'm gonna weare of what I want to wear. I'm 0:06:16.520 --> 0:06:18.560 gonna be cute with it too, you. 0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:20.400 Know, I think a lot of I think part of 0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:22.680 it is is like yourself, you're speaking. 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:22.920 Up about it. 0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:26.760 A lot of bigger people don't speak up about it. Right, Mac, 0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:29.960 who's one of the producers up here, was a lot bigger. 0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:30.760 He lost a lot of weight. 0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:33.760 But I didn't know all the problems that he had 0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:35.320 until he spoke about it, because it's just something that 0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:36.600 you don't think about it. Like he said he would 0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:38.599 get on the plane and it would be difficult, you know. 0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:41.479 He said he would go to the gym, it would 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:44.520 be difficult. But those are things that we just don't 0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:46.520 think about because I think people don't ever make it 0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:49.120 a thing. So the fact that this interiget happened puts 0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:51.120 it on people's minds, so you can tell what you 0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:52.640 have to deal with it, because you know, these are 0:06:52.640 --> 0:06:53.680 some of the things that we don't have to do 0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:54.120 it again. 0:06:54.279 --> 0:06:57.720 The plane situation, that's not my reality. Anytime I shout 0:06:57.720 --> 0:07:00.719 out to Southwest because they accommodate your people. If you 0:07:00.760 --> 0:07:03.120 need two seats, they're gonna give it to you for free. 0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:06.120 If you pay for two seats, they gonna refund you. Really, 0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:11.560 I don't have that problem, Like like last time I 0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:14.960 went to Delta, they said, Delta charging you might need 0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:17.640 two seats, smell, but we're gonna let you get on 0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:20.360 this time. I never know. I never have a problem 0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:22.280 with my seating when I get on a plane, Like 0:07:22.480 --> 0:07:25.480 I never have problems. Like when I come into a room, 0:07:25.520 --> 0:07:27.680 I demand my respect and I and I'm sweet. I'm 0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:30.040 a nice person. So I feel like people respect that 0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:33.440 I respect you, you respect me. I never like it's 0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:35.800 never an issue with me. Like the issue be when 0:07:35.840 --> 0:07:39.640 people when like the staring or the judging or you know, 0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:41.360 stuff like that, and then a lot of people will 0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:43.640 look at me and be like, oh, she just she eats, 0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:45.280 she do this, she do that all the time. That's 0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:48.480 not my reality either, Like I do eat, but I 0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:51.520 don't just sit down. I don't just I'm not six 0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:54.160 touch a pound life.

I got up 0:09:58.040 --> 0:09:59.920 to like five ninety eight and I didn't even know. 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:03.040 But I was still doing stuff that I thought I 0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:06.720 could do. Like I was still trying to go to 0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:08.880 the gym, still trying to walk around and stuff like that. 0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:13.080 I realized it was a problem when I just I 0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:15.160 couldn't do what I used to do no more, and 0:10:15.240 --> 0:10:18.880 I'm breathing like like but my I could put my 0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:21.360 own shoes on or whatever, but it's it was harder. 0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:23.720 I didn't want to get up, but I pushed myself 0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:26.000 to get up. You know. When I started feeling like, dang, 0:10:26.000 --> 0:10:28.880 I gotta push myself to get up, I went to 0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:31.079 the doctor. I was fine ninety eight. I said, oh, 0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:33.680 hell no, as I told my Mama's like my I'm 0:10:33.720 --> 0:10:35.520 never gonna get to six hundred punds and I get 0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:37.400 to say, schunch of prowess, I'm gonna give up. So 0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:39.760 when I was fine ninety eight, I said, on all. 0:10:40.559 --> 0:10:42.720 And I'm sure doctors have told you, like you need 0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:44.400 to probably lose weight for health, of. 0:10:44.360 --> 0:10:47.880 Course, of course. But the funny thing is, every time 0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:50.480 I go to the hospital and I get test ran, 0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:55.880 it's like there's nothing like as far as high cholesterol, 0:10:56.840 --> 0:11:01.920 you know, like the typical what people think audio. Even 0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:05.240 though my dad died from a heart attack, it's runs 0:11:05.240 --> 0:11:08.080 of his family, you know, stuff like that. Blood issues 0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:10.360 running our family, but I never you know. 0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:11.640 But thyroid they're giving you. 0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:16.800 Trying to figure it out. We're gonna weight twenty nine. 0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:17.400 Twenty nine. 0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:20.480 I was what to say because I have a Yeah, 0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:22.079 I was gonna say that I have a friend. 0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:24.560 That deals with thyroids and she also has a lot 0:11:24.600 --> 0:11:27.040 of trouble keeping weight down, like a lot of It's 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:29.360 like a big thing for her. She's done multiple surgeries too, 0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:31.560 and she still gains the weight back because with the thyroids. 0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:34.920 Yeah, so let me ask you a question. So you said 0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:36.559 you do want to lose the weight, what what are 0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:38.280 you doing to lose it? And do you mind?

Big Mac lost about what one hundred 0:11:43.000 --> 0:11:43.720 and fifty pounds. 0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:45.080 I'm not sure he lost a lot. 0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:47.200 He lost somebody visually, but he's not he's not happy 0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:49.520 in his skin.
