“I used to weigh 600 pounds,” she prefaced. “And I have worked really hard over the last four and a half years of my life to lose 370 pounds.”
“And in four days I am having an abdominal plastic surgery to remove my hanging apron stomach,” she said as she began to cry.
“You can see it hangs down to my knees,” she said. “This is what it looks like when I sit down. It makes me look much bigger than I actually am.”
“It’s very painful,” she cried. “It’s embarassing and it’s shameful.”
“But I try to focus on the fact that I’m a weight loss warrior,” she said. “I have worked really hard to save my own life.”
She revealed that she will be having the extra skin removed in due time.
“In a few days this is all going to be gone,” she said, gesturing to her belly.
