The Californian weight-loss fighter has shed 370 pounds (36.6 stone) so far, leaving her with a “hanging apron” of loose skin.
“I used to weigh 600 pounds and I have worked incredibly hard over the last four and a half years of my life to drop 370 pounds,” Teresa sobbed in the video, which has received more than 1.7 million likes.
“I am having an abdominoplasty procedure in four days to get rid of my hanging apron stomach. It hangs down to my knees, as you can see. When I sit down, it looks like this.
“It makes me appear much larger than I am. I try to keep my mind on the fact that I’m a weight loss warrior despite the fact that it’s excruciatingly painful, embarrassing, and shameful.
“I have fought really hard to save my own life, but in a few days, everything will be gone, and my life will be drastically improved.
I’m recording this for my own benefit and sharing it with you all in the hopes that it will normalize obesity, loose skin, and all the side effects of weight loss.
She stood up and stated, “This is what my dangling apron stomach looks like when I’m standing up,” before concluding her statement. It drapes down somewhat, as you can see.
You guys, it hurts me so much physically and emotionally, and I can’t wait to have the skin removed.
Her weight loss has drawn acclaim from viewers, who also claim that she has motivated them to take better care of themselves.
