Having watched some episodes of My 600 Pound Life, all I could think of was what terrible life decisions these people made, in many cases it turned out they suffered from horrific sexual abuse as youngsters, and then this show comes along and exploits them like a modern carnival freak show.
Sad all around. May she rest in peace.
... but for the love of God wasn’t there someone who reached out to this woman with the Good News?

She’s lucky....with only 9.22 years until global warming destroys Mother Gaia.
I have known some tremendously obese people.
Not quite that huge, but very heavy. Some are able to change their routines enough to improve their quality of life.
Most of them just give up trying to change their situation at a certain point. This leads to depression, which more often than not, leads to more eating.
A smaller group of these people remain that way because they have an enabler, someone is paying for and bringing all that food to this person. They didn’t get that fat by themselves, they had help.
Some of these enablers want to keep that person explosively fat, because the enablers need someone to care for and make them feel needed or maybe even wanted. It’s an unhealthy, symbiotic relationship.
I wonder how that guy with the 200 pound testicle is doing.
Is there no end to the liberal's lies that people will so easily and willingly believe? Those women, especially the one on the left, is morbidly obese and in no humanly way can be considered healthy. Alas, I suppose we can all better under this delusion.
A man can be a woman.
Homosexuality and transgenderism is perfectly normal and healthy and should be embraced by all.
Men can use women's bathrooms.
A man, claiming to be female, should be allowed to athletically compete with women.
An unborn baby should allowed to be murdered, and women should be proud of aborting/killing their child.
Biden won.
We all should maintain Covid hysteria.
**Gonna take a crane to get her out.**
That happened in an early Johnny Depp and Leonardo DiCaprio movie: What’s Eating Gilbert Grape

Her “Wife” Beth, is in a state of mourning.
Where was the parent of guardian when she was on her way to 101 lbs. at age 10?
Yep.
People usually don’t get that far off the res because of personal choice.
Thank you. Yes, that explains quite a lot.
Like most folks I’m 10-15 lbs overweight. Any time I pick up a 5 lb bag of flour it strikes me how much extra weight I carry around and how much stress that must cause my body.
I've watched this show "My 600 lb life." Every.single.one. of the people featured has the same totally powerless, out-of-control, sad-sack, woe-is-me view of existence. Classic anxiety / depression.
How pitiful. At some very early age, she must have given up. In our culture, fat is ugly; in other cultures, not so much. My husband is native American. Not much fat shaming, there, in most tribes. I hope this poor woman gave her heart to the Lord before she passed.
I always want to know, who was the enabler? Who bought the Big Macs?
Actually they torched the house in order to avoid the spectacle of using a crane.
A full scale cremation as it were.
She must have a very large family (”surrounded”)
“I always felt my entire life like I was just pushed under the rug.”
That’s one big rug.

I remember reading once of a woman who had lost 100 pounds. She made a canvas vest with pockets containing 100 lb of lead shot, and whenever she had regained 5 lb, she’d wear the vest until she got back to her target weight. (She must have taken it off to check her weight, though.)
Sad. RIP.
