It sounds like a joke, but...

A lot of times people say, well, you know, what is it?

What's the most attractive quality in a man?

I've always been able to make people laugh.

That's never been one of those things where it lacked.

I think the hardest part for me was just self-control in the sense that letting myself get to a place that was uncomfortable, which first of all was my weight, or not being able to sit down and have an honest conversation with someone.

I think a lot of times if you're not willing to have a conversation with someone and go, look, this is what's going on.

Can we be real?

Like, I want to have this, but understand that this is what comes with it.

And a lot of times I never wanted to have that conversation.

I just felt like it was easier to just hide it versus being real with someone and be like, look, this is part of the deal.

And unfortunately, early on, I found out quickly, just be upfront, just be real, just be honest.

But you're afraid to because you don't want to disappoint.

You don't want to make the person feel uncomfortable.

You'd rather hide it.

And unfortunately, every single time I tried to hide it, it didn't work out.

The weight situation never came into question because I was always functional.

I was always functional.

It never required any extra, you know, I didn't need attachments or medication or anything.

Everything worked.
