At the end of the episode, Jazz drove to a local grocery store and had a food binge. She opened up about her binge eating disorder to producers, explaining, “Right now, I am just feeling hopeless. It really does feel like a monster is just consuming me. I feel like there is a 50-pound weight weighing on my shoulder.”
The young activist revealed that the constant pressure in her life was “triggering” her depression and binge eating disorder symptoms. “It’s just causing me to have even more chaotic thoughts, and it’s triggering my binge eating,” Jazz shared. “I use food as a way to escape reality and just not be concerned about the things I have to be concerned about.”
“I know better,” Jazz said sadly. “I’ve been in this place before. I shouldn’t be making these mistakes again.”
