When viewers met Seana Collins on My 600-lb Life, her story was one of heartbreak and struggle. At just 23 years old and weighing 660 pounds, Seana described her daily life as a painful cycle of isolation and regret. “Every day of my life feels like it’s harder than the last,” she shared.
Seana Collins’s weight gain stemmed from a childhood marked by neglect and abuse. Raised in a toxic environment, she turned to food for comfort early on. By 8, she weighed over 150 pounds. By 16, she weighed 400 pounds. She dropped out of school due to relentless bullying. Struggling with depression and addiction, Seana spiraled further until she sought the help of Dr. Nowzaradan, or “Dr. Now,” in Houston.
My 600-lb Life: Challenges with Dr. Now’s Program
Seana Collins started her weight loss journey with hope but faced obstacles from the outset. Dr. Now emphasized that losing weight required commitment, but Seana struggled with the program’s demands. Though she was determined, she missed key appointments. She also failed to lose weight.
Dr. Now required her to lose 40 pounds per month to qualify for bariatric surgery, but Seana lost only one pound during her first check-in. By her six-month appointment, she was avoiding the clinic entirely, fearing Dr. Now’s reaction to her lack of progress. “I was too scared to go,” Seana admitted, citing her inability to stick to the diet plan.
Eventually, she made some progress, losing 35 pounds during a supervised stay in Houston. This was a glimmer of hope, but old habits crept back in when therapy unearthed painful memories. After a year, her weight loss stagnated. Dr. Now decided to release her from his care. He said she could return if she showed serious progress.
Seana has her whole life ahead of her, but she struggles to find the motivation to make a change. #My600lbLife https://t.co/LjPFEGljYj
