On Season 6 of My 600-lb Life, the cameras follow Maja, an obese woman who moves to Houston, Texas to work with Dr. Now and begin her weight-loss journey. Maja’s boyfriend Christian makes the trip with her. The good news is that Maja can walk on her own and without a walker or cane — but it hurts. At the airport, she tells Christian, “I hurt, I’m hurting,” she complains “My legs hurt, they’re so swollen, and my hip is out.” Christian replies patiently, “Just take a minute.” When she complains about not being able to move the way she wants to, Christian reminds her that it’s a big airport, “It’s somewhere new, it’s big, it’s a lot.” His pep talk works. Maja gets up from her chair and starts to walk again.
When Maja takes another break while walking in the airport, Maja complains again about all of the walking involved. She said she called the airports to ask how much walking was involved. Now she claims that “the lady lied to me about how far it was because I would have made other arrangements for me to get here if I knew how far it was.” While Maja says, “I realize I’m a big person but that doesn’t give people the right to lie to me.” My 600-lb Life airs Wednesdays at 8 pm on TLC.
