“It made me say [to myself], ‘OK sis, you got these babies. The twins [Jonathan and David] are 7, [stepson] Michael’s 9, Shalon’s 22.’ And I want to meet their babies. So, I said, ‘Let me stop being selfish, and eating everything.’ And I ate everything . . . I was a food junkie,” she said during an interview on The Cipha Sounds & Rosenberg Show on New York’s Hot 97 FM.
