1000-Lb Best Friends from TLC

Have you had a chance to check out one of the newest TLC shows? 1000-Lb Best Friends follows the journey of four women as they try to lose weight and get healthier. However, it’s easier for some of the women than for others.

Vannessa Cross has really struggled to keep up with her weight loss goals. And that’s exactly why she’s trying to kick her junk food habit for good. But there are a few complications keeping her from getting there.

1000-Lb Best Friends: can Vannessa really commit to lifestyle changes?

If you caught the first episode of 1000-Lb Best Friends this week, you probably noticed that Vannessa struggled to keep up with the rest of her friends. Meghan already had bariatric surgery and is well on her way to meeting her weight loss goals. But Vannessa hasn’t been able to lose enough weight and commit to the lifestyle changes necessary to get the surgery.

One major change Vannessa wants to address is her fast food habits. Sure, fast food tastes amazing. But it shouldn’t be on the menu for anyone pursuing bariatric surgery. And that’s why Vannessa wishes her family would stop bringing it into the house.

On a preview for the next episode of 1000-Lb Best Friends, Vannessa’s sister brings some unhealthy food into the house. Of course, Vannessa is tempted but stands her ground.

“Any time I try to start a diet, eat healthy, any of that, my sister always has to bring in her f—ing fattening foods. And this has been going on throughout my whole life, and I feel like if I don’t put my foot down and do something right now to change it, it’s going to continue to go on and I will fail.”

Vannessa’s sister adds that she just wants her sister to eat food she enjoys, but Vannessa brushes her off.

“It’s like a drug addict getting off their drug, yet you keep bringing it in the house? They’re going to want to do it; they’re going to want to touch it,” Vannessa says through tears. “I’m going to want to eat it; I’m going to want to see it. I want one so bad. I can’t.”

Is the beginning of a new Vannessa?

Vannessa Cross really struggled to stick to her goals in the past, but it seems like she might really turn over a new leaf this time. She actually stands up to her sister and tells her to stop bringing fast food into the house.

“Right now I’m asking you: stop bringing fattening foods in the house. Stop bringing anything unhealthy in the house. Stop,” Vannessa warns her sister. “You’re killing me.”

Be sure to tune into the next episode of 1000-Lb Best Friends on Monday night at 10 PM eastern time. Catch up with Vannessa and the rest of the friends on TLC.
