This Woman Needs Help Because Of Her Big Size (SEE PHOTOS)

Eating healthy and living right is something a lot of people take for granted, but the reality will hit you if you start getting too fat. Former world's fattest woman who once weighed 1,000lbs has lost half her body weight but, sadly, she has been left with 140lbs of excess skin.

38yrs old Catrina Raiford tipped the scales at half a ton and was bed-bound for five years, until she had her home bulldozed to free her from her bed after suffering breathing difficulties. Wow!

Catrina, from Florida, then embarked on a strict diet and a gastric bypass to lose more than 500lbs, reaching 448lbs in 2014.

Catrina hopes to lose even more weight along with the 140lbs of excess skin she has been left with for which she has set up a GoFundMe to raise the $10,000 (£6,468) needed for operations to remove it.

However Catrina says she had always had problems with her weight, following years of s*xual abuse as a child. She said she found comfort in sweet, sugary snacks and secret eating. Her eating habit led to this.
