"I've been overeating the last three or four days, and I was feeling myself stress eating," he said in a YouTube video shared on July 10. "And then, what else happened was the addict in me came out."

"We had this show at this one spot that I love their catering," he explained. "They have a dairy-free skillet cookie. I don't eat nothing like that. I'm like a drug addict. You can't eat that, because if I eat one, I eat two. I eat four. Later that night, I'm at the taco truck getting the peanut butter fluff. Next thing I know, we're at the rest stop. I'm looking for a chocolate bar. I'm like, 'Damn, that fast, now I’ve consumed 2,000 extra calories today that I didn’t even see coming.'"

After once tipping the scales at more than 500 pounds, the Grammy nominee has openly celebrated each milestone while acknowledging that his battle with food is far from over. Jelly Roll's candid admission comes after the country star shed an astonishing 275 pounds during a yearslong health transformation that inspired fans and reshaped his career.

He revealed the biggest challenge he faces with food: moderation isn't an option.

"Like, that's like the hardest thing to understand is that I can't have one burger," Jelly Roll said. "I got to have five. No, I can't. I can't have one anything ... It's like even like my problem is it could be healthy."

"Like if you put a big bowl of strawberries — if you put a bowl this big of strawberries in front of me, and leave me alone, I will eat the entire bowl of strawberries for sure. Like I've got to take a few strawberries and be like, put the bowl away ... or just not eat the strawberry at all. You know what I mean?"

The "I Am Not Okay" singer said he eventually realized the same all-or-nothing mentality that once fueled his addictions now shapes his relationship with food.

"What I learned is how you do anything is how you do everything," Jelly Roll noted in the video. "I'm like that with alcohol. I'm like that with — I've never done, I've never had a shot. I've never done a line of cocaine. I've never smoked a joint."

"Either we're smoking all day, we're drinking all night, we're doing cocaine," he said. "That's how it's working for me. So, it's like once I realized that was my thing with food, now I just have things that are just like, like that skillet cookie, I just don't eat it."

That realization has also changed the way Jelly Roll approaches cheat meals, which he said can quickly spiral out of control.

He admitted one cheat meal could turn into a "five-day food bender" for him.

The "Need a Favor" singer also reflected on the deeper mental and emotional challenges he believes often accompany obesity.

"People don't get it," Jelly Roll emphasized. "I tell people, 'You don't become the size you became without having a mental health issue.'"

"It’s something way deeper. It's a different thing," he added. "But once you get to that point of really realizing what you're hungry for, everything changes. And knowing what your triggers are."
