Amber Rachdi, who appeared in an episode of "My 600-lb Life" that aired back in 2015, continues to be an inspiration to others years after her weight-loss journey on the show.
Rachdi was only 23 years old and weighed 657 pounds when she was featured on the TLC reality series. During that time, she was overeating due to anxiety and had trouble performing basic tasks.
In fact, standing on her legs was a challenge to her during those times. On "My 600-lb Life," she can only do so for half an hour and then she would have to sit back down again.

Eat your food obscenely. Lick it like you are doing dirty things to it. Drool a little. Let your eyes roll back in your head. They'll either look away embarrassed or bust up laughing. Screw them.
