Webster’s weight loss journey officially began in 2016 when she appeared on “My 600-lb Life.” Her first challenge was to lose 50 pounds through a strict diet plan before undergoing gastric bypass surgery.
Initially, Webster had doubts about her ability to meet this goal. “Food has always been an addiction for me,” she admitted, “and my addiction to it is killing me.”

Her struggles with weight began early; despite starting diets as young as seven, there was no lasting success. The physical and emotional toll of carrying 649 pounds left her fearful for her future. “It hurt too much to have hope because I wasn’t sure how much time I had,” she said.
