Despite everything, after all the vicissitudes of life, the woman does not give up and continues to live life to the fullest.
There are a million stories on the Internet about how girls lose fantastic weight, eating only cabbage, apples or kefir. Well …
This story of extreme weight loss of single mother Charity Pierce will surprise you.
This woman was called one of the fattest women in the world. Having gained 347 kg, Pierce decided that of course she loves fast food, but it looks like she will die soon.
For the sake of her daughter and 22-year-old boyfriend (yes, yes!) she decided to radically change her life and went on the TV show “My 600-pound life”.
The 38-year-old American woman from Iowa suffered not only from obesity, but also from lymphedema. Due to this disease, so much fluid accumulated in her limbs that her left leg swelled to an incredible size. After some time, she was unable to move independently.
For her beloved Tony, Charity was ready to do a lot. After she stopped getting into the car, and renting a special car would cost $ 5,000, she decided: this can’t go on like this. Otherwise, you won’t get to the registry office!
In the name of love, for her daughter’s sake, and for her own good, Pierce decided to take part in the TLC show, but even there, things weren’t that simple.
The woman urgently needed a gastric band. And to safely perform the operation, doctors required her to lose 121 kg. Surgeons agreed to perform the extremely complicated operation on the condition that she weigh 226 kg.
“The only thing that will save my life is a gastric bypass. But I’m a single mother with a disability and I have no one to rely on but myself,” she said at the time.
The process of losing weight was not easy. If previously the daily calories consumed exceeded several thousand, now it was possible to eat only 1200. Charity switched to salads and yogurts. And before, she ate an entire buffet during the day: two pizzas, several sandwiches, five doughnuts, a pack of popcorn, two lasagnas, a pack of chips and ice cream.
At the moment, Mrs. Pearce has already lost 220 kg and continues to diet and exercise diligently according to a specially designed program. But her daughter has gained weight over the past two years and at the age of 18 weighed almost 180 kg! Both heredity and lifestyle played their role.
After losing weight, Charity broke up with Thomas – he did not wait for her to lose weight and cheated on her. Against this background, the woman started drinking, and her daughter ran away from her.
In 2020, Pearce posted on her social networks that she had been diagnosed with oncology: “On Christmas Day, I found out that I had kidney cancer. It shocked me because my mother died of brain cancer. The next step was to remove the kidney as soon as possible before it spread to other organs. So on March 2, my kidney was removed. Now I am recovering at home, trying to heal. I only hope that the future will bring me only good things.”
Charity has clearly fixed all her suffering. She now weighs just over 100kg, has stopped drinking, is passionate about her father and has improved her relationship with her daughter.
During this time, Pierce Jr. managed to get married and have a child. Now the happy grandmother spends all her time with her child, but at the same time does not forget about her health and does sports.
