One of the world's fattest women left bed-bound for two years is now completely unrecognisable after life-changing surgery.
Christina Phillips, from Mississippi, was just 22 when she underwent gastric bypass surgery after her weight ballooned to a staggering 700lbs.
She first appeared on the TV series "My 600-lb Life" in 2012 and told producers: "I'm trapped inside this body that I don't want to be in."
In addition, she described how walking to her bedroom would leave her out of breath and admitted she hadn't left her house in more than two years following her weight problems.
She claimed her desire to overeat was down to her mum and dad who would let her munch on fast-food snacks as she struggled to control her diet.
Christina was so desperate to lose the weight she contacted Dr. Younan Nowzaradan who warned her the operation wouldn't go ahead unless she dropped the pounds.
This led to her finding the motivation to have a better diet which, combined with the surgery and exercise, saw her lose a massive 500lbs.
She is now 185lbs (13 stone) and regularly posts pictures of her new look on social media to try and give inspiration to others.
But despite the positive pictures Christina posts online she has also documented how her mental health has been affected by the weight-loss as she feared putting the pounds back on after surgery.
This led to her seeking therapy to try and help her overcome her fears, she said: "Lately any time I see the scale go up, I tend to freak out and I stop eating for a couple days.
"And I don't know how to change how I feel."
She decided to split up with her husband Zack after they both grew apart from each other following her transformation: "It became clear that me becoming independent [from Zach] was not going to work for him."
However, despite this, she claims to be happier than ever as she's able to walk without getting out of breath: "I'm able to do so much more now. It's pretty great.
"Before I couldn't walk eight feet without feeling like I was gonna die. Now, I could do just about anything I put my mind to."
Christiana is also about to become a mum for the second time as she revealed on Facebook : "My 2nd baby boy will be here in September."
