This Woman Feels Trapped in Her 600-Pound Body | My 600-lb Life | TLC

She was already 160 lbs at age FIVE. That is her parents' fault. Period. And they set her up for this.

[Candice_Lynn]

She is honestly beautiful. She just needs to get her health under control. She's very pretty. She also seems like one of the most sincere and genuine people on this show, rather than just doing it for attention.

The “pity” she sees in her mothers face is probably guilt for her own actions, deep down she knows what she and her husband did to her child.

[h.s.l]

There's something really lovable about her, she makes me want to be her friend, to hug her, to root for her. I hope she gets to have a great life

[scoobertdoobert]

Wow her sadness reads so clearly on her face it’s insane

[AmyWhoLovesFlowers]

I can’t imagine a 23 year old with legs like that. If I were her family, I would stop serving family-style platters of food. I would serve plates with normal, ‘magazine’ portions to each person. I would have everyone eating healthy food in the house as a team. I don’t understand how the family did not intervene. It is shocking! And also, calling her an ‘underachiever’ is really cruel. The girl is only 23 and has plenty of possibility with healthy, positive support!

Amber was a success. She looks great now. I’m so happy for her.

Just as CPS can be called for malnourished children they should also be called for a young obese child. 150 at 5 is ridiculous

[Rainjojo]

160lb at only five?? Wow, her relatives have enabled her since a young age and now it’s followed up in her adult years. I’m around 20 and can never Imagine what I’d look like over 120lb, I hope she’s doing well now… truly.

[angelpatterson]

She’s honestly really pretty, it sucks because she felt like a failure to her family from such a young age that it embedded into her mind and it ruined her. Her family seems like either everyone or someone has made her feel worthless and adding comments about her weight or how lazy or anything negative, she takes it hard. It sucks to not feel good enough for anyone 🙁

[lucasdeyton]

She is unbelievably self aware. She's incredibly intelligent too. It's fairly rare that you find someone this heavy, this smart.

[annemarienicolaides]

Her face is so cute, beautiful hair. I hope her a beautiful future.

[mayonnaiseeee]

She was one of the patients who went on to do really, really well. She's somewhere close to 150 pounds nowadays and has reclaimed her life. Her story hits harder here because you can see all the potential she has.

[suiiuu]

Her parents ruined such a big part of her life and one of the most important ones too, her entire childhood and teenage years... how could someone do this to their own kid, I don't understand..

[malamutelife]

I’m so glad she lost all the weight you go girl!!

[lucasjohnstone]

This is one of the saddest episodes I've ever seen
This girl is actually so beautiful

[Lelo.Machaka]

I will forever blame the people around them for enabling them

[raizinboyz]

Honestly, I don't usually have this much sympathy for someone this large. She's so real and honest. God bless you Amber, you are are a beautiful, intelligent and very insightful person.... compassionate as well.

[robertsimmons]

poor girl I can just see that she's hurting so bad with the pain in her legs 😔

[mireille]

I looked her up on Instagram. She lost an incredible amount of weight. She is gorgeous.
