His Food Addiction
Behind the present glamorous life of the celebrity chef lies his past addiction to food. Yes, the celebrity chef had his low moments with the one thing he loves to prepare. Bobby revealed that during his teenage years, he would find solace in food when things were not going smoothly in his life. He recalled the time his family had to relocate and the thought of him starting a new life pushed him to start eating too much. Also, when his parents were going through their divorce, he started eating unusually again and his weight skyrocketed.
After, his parent’s divorce, the next thing that took Bobby’s mind was the restaurant business his mum was trying to build. He got lost in the whole hustle and neglected his body but he eventually confided in Terrel Moody who had a perfectly trimmed physique for a 19-year-old and he told Bobby he knew the right person to help him get back into shape. As Bobby started his workout sessions under the tutelage of a trainer named Carter, he had to go against all odds to keep to his routine as his culinary family did not fully support his absence from the restaurant regularly.
The chef, with much persistence and resilience, turned into a dashing young man who now has a new perspective towards food and exercise which have greatly influenced his approach to cooking. Bobby is also playing a major role in his mother’s life to help her embrace healthy eating habits in her struggles with Type 2 diabetes since she was diagnosed with the ailment in 2012.
