My 600-lb Life celeb Melissa Marescot has been open about her struggle with her weight and the reasons why she’s packed on pounds. She describes herself as miserable because of her size. And she blames her misery on her dependency on food.
Fans of the TLC show know Melissa for her size and her strange eating habits. Sin one episode she whipped together a tub of soup and a family-sized lasagna. An then she ate the meals in her favorite place – standing in front of a mirror.
Recently, My 600-lb Life favorite Dr. Nowzaradan offered up a shocking update about Melissa’s health. She currently weighs 592 pounds.
According to the doctor, at her current size, she has a BMI of 115%. Also, he added that this is one of the highest BMIs that he’s ever seen.
What’s worse is that she’s under five feet tall, so she’s only supposed to weigh around 90 pounds.
Dr. Nowzaradan says that Melissa Marescot has her breathing and circulation systems compromised because her weight’s excessive. Then, he explained that even if she got “something like a cold”, there’s a high probability that Melissa would die.
