On Season 6 of My 600-lb Life, the cameras follow Holly, a woman in her early 50s who weighs 658 lbs. She says she reached 600 lbs. when she was about 30. She was married at that time. She says she trusted him at first but then, “I feel like he betrayed that trust with how he had treated me for ten years.” After leaving him, Holly underwent weight loss surgery. She had her stomach stapled, which got her down to 398 lbs., but she struggled with wanting to eat again and eventually “busted my staples and was back in the 500s again.”
Holly travels to Houston to work with Dr. Now, and to get a second weight loss surgery. When she claims she thought she was doing well in trying to lose the weight needed for surgery, Dr. Now shows her tough love and says, “Stop playing games and lying to me.” Like most of Dr. Now’s patients, Holly must address the childhood issues that continue to plague her. My 600-lb Life airs Wednesdays at 8 pm on TLC. [BONUS: TLC G0 App found here lets you stream any TLC show. Download is FREE.]
