Zsalynn Whitworth’s story in TLC’s My 600-lb Life is one of the most extraordinary tales ever featured in the hit reality TV show. Starting her journey towards weight loss weighing north of 600 pounds, Zsalynn was able to shed off more than half her weight through sheer hard work, dedication, and a willingness to relinquish anything which stood in her way. Since appearing on the show, Zsalynn seems to have practically completed her battle against obesity and is now helping others do the same.
Zsalynn’s story was quite memorable among avid fans of the hit reality TV show due to her husband, Gareth, who made it very evident that he preferred it if his wife remained overweight. During Zsalynn’s initial featured episodes, Gareth was shown giving unhealthy food to his wife despite Zsalynn attempting to lose weight, according to a Daily Mail report. Much to the chagrin of viewers then, Gareth actually encouraged his wife to gain back the weight she lost.
Fortunately for Zsalynn, she ultimately chose her health and future over her marriage, and she ended up divorcing Gareth. During this time, Zsalynn remarked that her ex-husband simply did not find her attractive anymore, after she shed off half her initial weight. Needless to say, the My 600-lb Life community was fully behind Zsalynn on her decision to leave her husband, with many stating that he was simply dead weight.
