The program “My 600-LB. Life” talks about people struggling with obesity. The heroine of one of the episodes was 31-year-old Melissa Morris, who weighed 296 kg. The woman was addicted to alcohol, and her weight made it impossible to perform the simplest activities. Melissa, however, took up the fight against kilograms and in 7 years she managed to lose 225 kg.
She weighed 296 kg. Obesity hindered her daily functioning
Morris dreamed of becoming a mother. However, she knew that with a weight of 296 kg, it was practically impossible to get pregnant. She decided to go for gastric bypass surgery, introduce diet and regular exercise into her life. For 7 years, she managed to lose 225 kg and reach a weight of 71 kg. It allowed her to get pregnant and today Melissa is the mother of three children. However, she did not forget how hard and long the road she went through. This is how she signed one of the photos on her Instagram.
One of the hardest days of my life. This photo hangs above my desk as a reminder of what I used to look like. My mother-in-law took a picture of a man who said something very hurtful to me at the time.
Divorce and three pregnancies. Melissa is still fighting for her figure
Unfortunately, with each subsequent child, Melissa gained weight again. Over all three pregnancies, she gained a total of 68 kg. Under one of the photos on Instagram, she wrote that her weight has been stagnant for 6 years. It was then that she gave birth to her third child. In the meantime, the woman’s marriage was in crisis, which also did not help her return to a normal weight. Eventually, Morris divorced her husband because it was too hard for them to adjust to the new situation. – I looked after her for 6 years and now I had to adapt and give up this role because she became self-sufficient – “Daily Mail” Chris, ex-husband of the woman.
Melissa Morris is still an inspiration for many people who leave comments on her profile and compliment that she looks much better and healthier now. The 42-year-old admits that she will always have to be careful. – There is a daily battle in my head not to eat potato chips and popcorn. I’ll never be in a place where I don’t have these cravings, says Melissa. “If I’m going to teach my kids anything, it’s that they should never end up like me.”
