Some of the world's fattest women shed 600lb by dumping their exes, with one unsupportive man refusing to buy his wife a salad because he "preferred bigger women".
The TV series My 600-lb Life showed how morbidly obese women were having to decide between shedding weight to stop an early death, but also risk losing their partners.
One couple was told the woman's weight would mean they wouldn't be able to have children, and for some, gastric surgery would be too risky to perform, reports the Mirror.
