<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/country-music">Country singer</a> Jelly Roll recently reflected on his health journey, including losing around 45 to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/obesity">50 pounds </a>and getting a renewed sense of optimism in the process.
The 38-year-old <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities">singer</a>, whose real name is Jason Bradley DeFord, discussed his thoughts during a conversation with Fox News Digital while walking the red carpet at the 2023 Country Music Awards last week. 
&#8220;I don&#8217;t even have a goal when it comes to health,&#8221; he told the <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/jelly-rolls-dramatic-weight-loss-gave-country-star-will-live">outlet</a>. &#8220;I just want to keep doing the right thing and feeling better. I&#8217;m starting to find a will to live and I wanna lean into that, that&#8217;s it. I just want to be happier.&#8221;
DeFord added, &#8220;Weight is normally directly related to mental health, so I&#8217;m trying to get that under control and the rest is following that.&#8221;

&#8220;I&#8217;ve been working out. I&#8217;ve been losing weight, slowly but surely. I&#8217;m about 45-50 (pounds) down coming off tour, walking into the CMAs,” the “Savior” composer said. &#8220;I&#8217;m drinking less than I&#8217;ve ever drank, and I feel incredible. I&#8217;m drinking water like a fish. I&#8217;m getting it right out here. I want to touch people as long as I can.&#8221;
Jelly Roll won New Artist of the Year at the CMAs. He expressed his gratitude to his friends, family, and fans during his acceptance speech.
&#8220;There&#8217;s something poetic about a 39-year-old man winning new artist of the year,&#8221; he said onstage. &#8220;I don&#8217;t know where you&#8217;re at in your life or what you&#8217;re going through, but I want to tell you to keep going, baby. I want to tell you success is on the other side of it,” the singer said. “I want to tell you it&#8217;s going to be OK. I want to tell you that the windshield is bigger than the rearview mirror for a reason because what&#8217;s in front of you is so much more important than what&#8217;s behind you. Let&#8217;s party, Nashville.&#8221;
DeFord also discussed how being in bad situations in the past helped shape his current outlook. 
&#8220;I was a horrible human for decades, and to just be able to turn that around and give a message in the music and help people… and just try to give back as much as I can in every way I can is very indicative of where I came from and how important it is to me to always reach back,” the “Save Me” singer said.
