3 February 2016 - Los Angeles - USA **** STRICTLY NOT AVAILABLE FOR USA *** *** WARNING GRAPHIC IMAGES *** Obese Dottie Perkins tries to lose weight but piles on 35lbs instead on My 600lb Life. Mum of two Dottie has a severe food addiction and admits she reveals that she turned to food for comfort because she grew up without love and affection from her own mom. Her addiction got worse after she gave birth to son Daniel, now 12, who has cerebal palsy. She was 300lbs when she gave birth to Daniel but then piled on another 100 plus pounds after having second son Landon a year ago. She consulted Texan doctor Younan Nowzaradan and weighed in at a hefty 641lbs (45.7lbs) who told her she needs to lose 40lbs before he would consider doing weightloss surgery. But Dottie lost just 5lbs in two months after eating salads but putting on a whole bottle of dressing and still eating crisps and drinking Coke. Then son Daniel was taken to the hospital and in two months Dottie put on a staggering 35lbs (2.5stone) after stress eating pizza and fast food. She continued using her kids as an excuse so Dr Nowaradan made her check into a hospital straight away. Under medical supervision she lost 72lbs (5.1 stone) and was approved for surgery. AFter the surgery Dottie lost another 76lbs (5.4 stone) in three months and at the end of the 12 months of filming weighed in at 520lbs (37.1 stone) having lost a total of 149lbs (10.6 stone).
