:31:00
My big thing was never smoking.
:31:02
It was never drinking.
:31:03
Obviously,
it wasn't doing drugs.
:31:05
My big vice was food,
:31:06
and before I knew it,
I wound up weighing 425 pounds.
:31:12
I brought in
a present for you --
:31:14
my old pants
that are now made famous
:31:16
in all the subway commercials.
:31:21
You're welcome.
:31:24
This is
my daughter, Victoria.
:31:26
She's an eighth-grade
honor student,
:31:29
and you're a real
inspiration to the kids.
:31:30
I really
appreciate that.
:31:32
That's one
of the greatest --
:31:34
I started
putting my weight on
:31:35
as you guys know,
about third or fourth grade.
:31:38
She was real tiny
when she was littler,
:31:41
and it's been in our family.
:31:42
In fact,
I had a great-grandfather
:31:44
that died
and was buried in a piano box
:31:47
years and years ago,
so it's a history.
:31:50
Absolutely.
:31:51
And she's been trying
to maintain her weight.
:31:54
It's tough.
it's always a challenge.
:31:56
I know as a kid,
it's awfully hard these days
:31:59
and kids
are not always kind.
:32:01
No, not at all.
And I know that firsthand.
:32:04
And the problem is,
the world's not gonna change
:32:06
You have to change.
:32:07
I guess it's kind of cool
to know somebody
:32:10
or be able
to listen to somebody
:32:12
talk about actually
being where I am right now,
:32:15
and it's kind of hard
:32:16
because I can't afford
to go there every single day
:32:20
and buy a sandwich
two times a day,
:32:22
and that's
what he's talking about,
:32:25
like that's
the only solution.
:32:26
That's what he said
worked the best,
:32:28
but I can't do that.
:32:30
And I've tried other ways,
and it's kind of hurt my body
:32:34
from doing other ways
that I've tried to do.
:32:38
And it's kind of hard
to, like, look at someone
:32:42
who says, "hey, I've done it.
You can do it."
:32:43
but it's not that easy.
:32:44
Id been sick as a kid.
:32:47
I grew up eating
a lot of ice cream,
:32:49
more than you can believe.
:32:50
We had an ice-cream-cone-shape
d swimming pool in our backyard.
:32:54
We had a commercial freezer with
not only all 31 flavors in it,
:32:57
but all experimental flavors
that were under development.
