‘My 600-lb Life’ star Gina Krasley dead at 30: ‘My life’s been hard’
NY Post ^ | 8/6/2021 | Rob Bailey-Millado

Gina Krasley, known to reality TV viewers as the new star of TLC’s “My 600-lb Life,” has died. She was 30 years old.

Her official cause of death has not been announced, but she passed away Sunday at her home in Tuckerton, N.J., “surrounded by her loving family” at the time, according to her obituary.

Krasley joined the TLC series in 2020 — which chronicles the lives of obese people undergoing gastric bypass surgeries — and was featured in an episode presciently titled “Time Is Running Our For Gina,” which has nearly 1 million views on YouTube.

“My life’s been hard,” Krasley admitted in the heartrending introduction to the clip. “…I always felt my entire life like I was just pushed under the rug.”

She had recently posted social media videos about health struggles that had rendered her immobile with severe pain in her extremities.

“‘I remember what made me forget the pain of being abandoned was eating — and by the time I was 10, I was already over 150 pounds,” Krasley once said on the TLC show.

By 14, she weighed more than 300 pounds, yet she continued to turn to food as an “escape,” she said. “As I was getting closer to 500 pounds, it started to get harder to do things.”

"Her official cause of death has not been announced.."

But anorexia has been ruled out.

And all this while a virus that specifically makes it difficult for those that are obese to survive.

Hence all the "healthy, young people dying of COVID" stories.

They nearly all have one thing in common.

Here is what I never understand, people like her are so obese they can’t do anything for themselves. What do their friends and family enable them so with all the food. Who is paying the food bill, it must be astronomical , how can anyone afford it. Cut these people off, quit feeding them and enabling them.

Last report was the testicle had him removed and is doing well. Soon to have its own reality show.

“and by the time I was 10, I was already over 150 pounds”

Child abuse.

Kids that are that fat should have their parents/guardian first warned by a court.

Then, if not fixed, removed.

And fat kids are the only fat people I have sympathy for. After that it’s a choice.

‘What’s Eating Gilbert Grape’ is SUCH a touching movie. A perennial favorite.

“It says cause of death not determined. 600 pounds could do that.”

I know.

I was being a bit facetious.
