00:00:00
My friends keep everything real with me.
00:00:01
And I had a friend that said, "Stephen,
00:00:03
mate, yeah, you might not be sleeping in
00:00:05
bed. Yeah, you might not be drinking
00:00:06
alcohol. Yeah, you might not be taking
00:00:08
drugs. You're [ __ ] eating yourself to
00:00:10
a grave." I've always had a problem with
00:00:12
my weight. I've always been up and down.
00:00:14
Is it diet or is it a genetic thing? You
00:00:16
know what it is? I just love food, mate,
00:00:18
because I feel like depression, my way
00:00:20
of dealing with depression, one of the
00:00:21
vices has been gluttony.
00:00:23
>> Yeah. It's a form of self harm in a way.
00:00:25
>> Yeah.
00:00:25
>> What did you get from overeating? Was it
00:00:27
eating comfortable food make made you
00:00:28
feel good? like endorphins.
00:00:30
>> I think food was the only thing that
00:00:31
made that had my back. I think food was
00:00:33
the only thing that never hurt me. I
00:00:35
think I've been hurt my whole entire
00:00:36
life. Every time I ate, I always had a
00:00:38
release of endorphins and I felt happy
00:00:41
and that was enough to get me through
00:00:42
the night. That was enough for me to
00:00:44
outlast the storm. But I want to be able
00:00:47
to replace that with going to the gym,
00:00:48
which I have recently. I've been going
00:00:50
to the gym and exercising.
00:00:52
>> What What did you weigh at your peak?
00:00:53
>> 220.
00:00:54
>> What are you now? I'm 190.
