For years, Melissa avoided mirrors, public spaces, and anything that forced her to confront her reality. At her size, every movement requires planning. Every day feels heavy — physically and emotionally. Food became her comfort long before it became her addiction. As a child, meals replaced affection. Food meant love, relief, and approval in a home filled with verbal abuse and loss. When her father left, food became the only constant that made the pain quiet. But comfort came with consequences. By her teens, her weight had spiraled alongside depression, trauma, and isolation. Pregnancy, abortion, dropping out of school, and years of hiding pushed her deeper into a cycle she couldn’t break. Food filled the emptiness — but only temporarily. When the eating stopped, the pain returned.Now, Melissa knows the truth she’s been avoiding: the very thing that brings her happiness is also slowly taking her life.
