Food addiction is a modern problem. At 34 years old, American Nikki Webster considered herself a real addict. Food had been the meaning of her life since childhood, but when her weight reached 275 kg, the situation became critical.

Nikki could not cope with her insane appetite at all. There was no talk of any diets; the poor girl lacked patience for that. Only fatty, sweet food with lots of calories, in large quantities.
The excess weight turned Webster`s life into hell. Over time, it became difficult for her to get out of bed on her own, take a shower, and walk at all. The girl had to move in with her parents. Strangely, the parents were not bothered by their daughter`s unhealthy passion for food. They even remodeled the stairs to deliver food to Nikki on the second floor.
”My body became a problem for me. It always hurts, regardless of whether I`m eating or lying down. I get tired very quickly... I simply can`t stop eating and it`s unbearable. I know that my weight is killing me. My sister Courtney forbids her children from seeing me, as if my aunt`s horrible appearance could traumatize the children`s psyche,” Nikki shares her misfortune.
The turning point in Nikki`s life was when she was invited to participate in the TV show ”My 600-lb Life”.
Nikki decided to undergo surgery where part of her stomach was removed. Together with her father Terry, she left her native Arkansas and went to Texas to consult with Dr. Nowzaradan - a rare specialist who treats the most severe cases of obesity.
During the consultation, Webster was told that she would have to lose 20 kg on her own, and only then could the surgery be scheduled. The woman followed a strict diet and after 3 months was ready for the gastric surgery.
Before the surgery, the woman was plagued by fears. She was afraid she would return to her old habit of overeating or not even survive the operation. But everything went successfully. Within a year, Nikki managed to lose 90 kg.
To be completely sure, Webster additionally communicated with a psychotherapist. She needed to figure out the main reason for her obesity to completely free herself from her passion for food.
Her success did not end there. After Nikki lost 160 kg, the doctors agreed to surgery to remove the excess skin. Another minus 25 kg towards a healthy lifestyle!
Unfortunately, Nikki had to endure another operation because after removing the excess skin, she developed internal bleeding. Everything went without complications, and the woman recovered quickly.
When you look at this sweet girl, it`s hard to believe that a couple of years ago she was an unhappy woman weighing 300 kg. Today, Nikki weighs 90 kg. She monitors her diet and feels wonderful.
Quite recently, the heroine of our story also gained feminine happiness. Nikki`s boyfriend Marcus proposed to her.
Nikki Webster`s example shows that there is nothing stronger than motivation, faith, and persistence. These qualities can overcome any harmful habit and laziness. Purely visually, excess weight is not always a problem, but only if it doesn`t interfere with living.
