Amazing story on Good Morning America.

I would really be interested in how her friends/family felt about their role in enabling her unhealthy diet (since she depended on them to bring food to her).

    I really appreciate the fact that she is so honest about her relationship struggling. I think that happens in a lot of relationships when someone starts to reclaim their life.

    It 's a miracle story, but what I get concerned about is what is she doing to keep the weight off. Is there a readable story that talks about her goals, diet, lifestyle now. Anyone can have surgery, but it's no use if you are just going to continue eating the way you did to get that way. I don't mean to be disrespectful- I have just had a few aunts, uncles, cousins. Who eat themselves to where they weigh in the 500+ range have the surgery, but continue on eating like they did before, and they end up getting sick, because of the surgery. I think a healthy weightloss is wonderful. I commend the ones who each day stick with it and struggle each day to stay on track. That is what I like to read is how they struggled and ended winning in the end and they have goals that they continue to follow, so they don't get stuck in that rut again.

    I think it's on OWN or Lifetime? There's at least one more episode, too, with a man (seen previews).
