Christina Philips From ‘My 600-lb-Life’ Is Now Living Her Best Life

My 600 Pound Life has been a show that has seen a lot of popularity during its time. It is a TLC reality series that follows individuals who are morbidly obese.

In each episode, a year in the life of one of the individuals is documented and they always attempt to lose weight. Some of them are successful and others, not so much. At times, they are featured in later episodes when they go through a great health journey.

In the second season in 2014, Christina Phillips was featured. She weighed more than 700 pounds at 22 years of age and she had a lot of health problems. Not only was she bedridden, she hadn’t left her house in two years and she had to depend on others for her everyday activities.

Christina realized that it was time to make a change but she also realized that she had a long road in front of her. Since the time she appeared in the reality show, however, she has made a significant difference in her life.

When season two started, Phillips weighed about 640 pounds. Her weight would go up even higher, gaining an additional 60 pounds and weighing in at 708 pounds at the highest. She was morbidly obese and her health was at risk.

She struggled to get by from day-to-day and she was only 22 years old. She couldn’t even walk but a few feet, and this was a time in life when she should be living the best life.

It was impossible for her to hold down a job and she couldn’t clean her own home or take care of her day-to-day responsibilities. She was unhappy, to say the least.

During the episode that focused on Phillips, we learned that she had started putting on weight slowly when she was a young child. When we were introduced to the family situation, it was easy to see that her mother and husband were enabling her.
