I go from one extreme to being obsessed with working out and being muscular and thin to just giving up and gaining because the food makes me feel better then ultimately, it’s a cycle that just gets work.”

The 34-year-old also shared that her family's struggles being brought to light has led to netizens trolling her on Reddit. She added that being "ripped apart constantly" affects her and makes her question her purpose in the business. In the post, the star also notes that all of this is making her think of "quitting everything sometimes and disappear.”

He exclaimed that he was thrilled to see the kids playing together and added:

“It sounds silly to say, but it felt like a dream come true. [The kids are] so loving and so good with one another. So it was really amazing to see.”

John James also has a sister named Sydney who he recently reconnected with. Speaking of his relationship with her during the reunion, he stated that they “picked up right where things left off.”

The two were reportedly “joking, being stupid like we always have.”

However, he stated that when Jessie James Decker joined them a few days later, the two siblings remained “cordial for the sake of my mother.” He added that there were no "heart to hearts" between them.
