I, uh--
I hope that you are taking care of yourselves as a people.
That's what I hope you're doing.
And I--and I thank you.
- [audience applause]
- And I hope that I inspire somebody tonight, alright.
In the past 2 years,
I have lost like 40 to 50 pounds, you guys so--
- [audience cheering]
- Thank you.
Thank you so much.
It's probably closer to ten, so I--
- [audience laughing]
- --lie about it all the time,
so I probably did not lose weight at all.
Um, I just like to throw out numbers
to feel like I accomplish something, but--
No, I lost weight for real.
But this is what I learned.
Like you really have to watch what you eat,
and you gotta watch what you put in your body.
And I learned that food addiction is real.
And I'm gonna tell you the moment that I knew
I hit rock bottom.
So, I got electrocuted, um--
- [audience laughing]
- --trying to eat some hot dogs off of a George Foreman grill,
alright. - [audience laughing]
- I'm just telling you what happened, alright.
This is what I didn't know.
My grill had a short in it.
- [audience laughs]
- And I found out about the short,
and I still tried
three different times...
to reach for the hot dogs, okay?
- [audience laughing]
- So...
the first time I got shocked,
I was like, "Oooh.
That's a mistake. Let's try again."
- [audience laughing]
- The second time,
I was like, "Ouch," but I'm not a quitter, okay.
- [audience laughing]
- I'm not.
Then the, um...
third time, I was like,
"Oh shit, like I think I'm dead.
"Like I think I am dying.
Like what is happening?"
So, um...
- [audience laughing]
- [laughing continues]
- You alright? You okay?
Have you been hurt before?
- [audience laughing]
- So this is why I thought I was dead, alright?
It got dark.
I saw a light.
Then I heard this big booming voice.
And the voice was like,
"Bitch, get a salad."
And-- - [audience laughing]
- --I was like, "Who is that? Is that God?
Like who is talking to me?"
But it turns out it was just the dude I was dating, so--
- [audience laughing]
- --he was very hateful, and his words hurt.
But, um-- - [audience laughing]
- --I'm fine.
Now, this is how you know what I was going through was
an addiction, because otherwise, you're like,
"Why would somebody try to fight through electricity"--
- [audience laughing]
- --"to get to processed meat?"
- [audience laughing]
- And I'm gonna tell you right now,
my hot dogs were all beef, okay.
- [audience laughing]
- They had cheese inside, alright.
I have a refined palate, um...
- [audience laughing]
- Because I watch the Food Network, so--
- [audience laughing]
- If you know how the grill was set up, that actually
tells you everything that you need to know.
Like the way it was designed that's how you'll know
why what happened happened.
So, like you would put your meat on there,
and it would drain all the grease and the fat
into that little cup-- the little tray.
But I was then using that as a dipping sauce.
So I just-- - [audience laughing]
- --pick it up and I'm like, "Oooh!
"That is delicious!
Like that is God's gravy, like oh!"
- [audience laughing]
- "I need more."
And so--
