To ensure that no more lives were at risk, action had to be taken right away!
From childhood, Kandi and Brandi have used food as a coping mechanism for stress. The girls turned to candy, to which they had become used, as a source of comfort when they felt their parents were not paying enough attention. As the kids became older, their parents started feeding them fast food, which kept them busy and prevented them from getting in the way of their parents’ activities.
This eating strategy has negative effects, of course. The girls’ bullying by cruel classmates at school was the first source of the problems. As teenagers, all of the girls weighed over 220 pounds, and the worst thing was that the weight kept going up.
After that, Kandi and Brandi moved away from their parents after having a falling out. Unfortunately, their newfound independence had no effect on their eating habits as they started a new life.
The sisters got jobs as salespeople to help support themselves, but because they were eating junk food, candies, and sugary beverages, they didn’t lose weight. The women grew as ungainly as possible and were unable to go to work due to their weight.
Kandi and Brandi began experiencing health problems.
When they started to weigh more than 550 pounds apiece, they made the decision to ask the well-known TV program “My 600-Lb Life” for assistance.
Consequently, an arduous and protracted quest for well-being commenced. The best medical professionals took care of the sisters: psychiatrists started working with them, and dietitians recommended a diet. Over time, each sister established a personal weight-loss goal. The weight began to drop. Nonetheless, they had to reduce the size of their stomachs due to medical reasons. Kandi’s heart condition almost killed her, but in the end, everything turned out well for Brandi, who recovered from the surgery with ease.
Even when the program has over, the girls still go to the gym and eat healthily to stay in good shape. Even after finding love, Brandi got married and had a kid.
Kandi, on the other hand, plans to fully enjoy her new life and travel widely before getting married.
