00:00But I think I allow myself to like kind of brush my shoulders off and say like, you know what, I'm going to tell myself I feel 10 out of 10 and then, you know, it'll stick.
00:12What made you want to join this new dating series? What made you join Hun for Love?
00:16I'm going to be honest with you, it was a lot of outside pressure where I was like, you know what, I'm perfectly comfortable hanging out with my kids, doing movie nights on the weekends.
00:24And I'm not a girl that goes to sit at the bar. I don't really like to go out and party, but it was my mom and my son and everyone saying, girl, you deserve to be loved.
00:34You need to get out there because he's not going to come knocking at the door. So I was like, fine.
00:39I saw that this was an option and I was like, what more, you know, into the dating game can I get other than like a world where there's tons of singles, you know?
00:48So that was pretty exciting.
00:50What did your son think? Are you scared for him to watch at all? What are you thinking?
00:54Honestly, there are, I think he's a teenager now, so I think for any teenager seeing their mom flirt or who knows, right, what he's going to see, I think it's awkward for any teenage boy, right?
01:07Because kids look at their mom like a saint and, you know, it's hard to imagine, you know?
01:12So, yeah, it's nerve-wracking, but I think he's a grown-up enough to be like, okay, and I think I'll make him proud.
01:20Well, you know, I'm sure he's very excited to see what happens as well.
01:24He's an honor.
01:24He said, I'm not watching that. I'm going to kill these guys.
01:28And I was like, he said, what are your intentions to my mom?
01:31Did he give you any advice when you were going into the show?
01:33Yes.
01:34He said, watch it.
01:36I was like, all right, Daniel. All right. I got scared.
01:39Well, you've had some tough times on 90 Day in the past.
01:42Did it make you nervous at all going into this new show where you could potentially be putting yourself out there again so much?
01:46Oh, yeah, definitely.
01:49I mean, I've dealt with a lot of, I want to say, toxic in the past.
01:53And then, I mean, my weight loss and my body journey and my health journey.
01:59I think walking into this, my insecurities were, what if every guy's like this?
02:03And then also, like, what if I'm like just the chubby girl and that's all they see?
02:08What if I'm just that girl, right?
02:09I want to go in. I want people to get to know me for who I am.
02:12So, it was a big fear of mine. And, you know, you walk in and you expect one thing.
02:17And I can tell you every single time you will be surprised.
02:20Speaking of your weight loss, you look absolutely incredible.
02:23You shared on the show that you've lost over 100 pounds.
02:26How are you feeling now?
02:27I'm feeling amazing. Honestly, it's a work in progress.
02:30The weight doesn't bring the confidence.
02:32The confidence comes. It's all in here.
02:33And that's the hardest part to work on.
02:35But I think I allow myself to, like, kind of brush my shoulders off and say, like, you know what?
02:40But even if they don't think I look 10 out of 10, I'm going to tell myself I feel 10 out of 10.
02:45And then, you know, it'll stick.
02:47Well, your confidence is radiating off of you.
02:49So, it's working, whatever you're doing.
02:52Was there anybody on the series that you were like, you came in, you're like,
02:56I have a negative perception of this person and maybe that perception changed?
03:00I can't make a list for you. That would be long enough.
03:02Let me tell you, like I said, if one thing I can leave you with is whatever you expect, prepare to be surprised.
