In addition to the usual fat-shaming he experienced from people, Jerod Mixon also had difficulty in getting acting roles. He considered weight loss in the past, but he could not commit to it.

As the years went by, he gained more weight, and correspondingly, a heavy toll on his health and well-being. It eventually reached a point when his obesity began to threaten his life, and the only option was weight loss.
