Gina Krasley, known to reality TV viewers as the new star of TLC’s “My 600-lb Life,” has died. She was 30 years old.
Her official cause of death has not been announced, but she passed away Sunday at her home in Tuckerton, N.J., “surrounded by her loving family” at the time, according to her obituary.
Krasley joined the TLC series in 2020 — which chronicles the lives of obese people undergoing gastric bypass surgeries — and was featured in an episode presciently titled “Time Is Running Our For Gina,” which has nearly 1 million views on YouTube.
“My life’s been hard,” Krasley admitted in the heartrending introduction to the clip. “…I always felt my entire life like I was just pushed under the rug.”
She had recently posted social media videos about health struggles that had rendered her immobile with severe pain in her extremities.
“‘I remember what made me forget the pain of being abandoned was eating — and by the time I was 10, I was already over 150 pounds,” Krasley once said on the TLC show.
By 14, she weighed more than 300 pounds, yet she continued to turn to food as an “escape,” she said. “As I was getting closer to 500 pounds, it started to get harder to do things.”

But anorexia has been ruled out.
I hear his testicle's on NutriSystem.
You should have warned us before posting that.
Which meal is being made from the testicle... LOL.
such a lie
“at 500 pounds, it started to get hard to do things”
no honey
at age ten approaching 150 pounds, it was already hard to do things
Must be an A La Carte item... :0)
Hence all the "healthy, young people dying of COVID" stories.
They nearly all have one thing in common.
Its the “Dahmer Special Entree” meal.
(Fun Fact: He worked for one of my suppliers [Ambrosia Chocolate] when he was caught chasing that naked guy [dinner] down the street.)

20 stone more than a little chubby?
Surrounded by family must have been some big circle.
Here is what I never understand, people like her are so obese they can’t do anything for themselves. What do their friends and family enable them so with all the food. Who is paying the food bill, it must be astronomical , how can anyone afford it. Cut these people off, quit feeding them and enabling them.
Oh Lord I don’t want to even imagine the sex there.
Last report was the testicle had him removed and is doing well. Soon to have its own reality show.
The testicle chose wisely.
“and by the time I was 10, I was already over 150 pounds”
Child abuse.
Kids that are that fat should have their parents/guardian first warned by a court.
Then, if not fixed, removed.
And fat kids are the only fat people I have sympathy for. After that it’s a choice.
Well, she’s skinny now. It’s not good to abuse the temple G-d lets you live in for your short time on Earth. Just sayin’. ;)
‘What’s Eating Gilbert Grape’ is SUCH a touching movie. A perennial favorite.
Cause of death morbid obesity. Sad.
“It says cause of death not determined. 600 pounds could do that.”
I know.
I was being a bit facetious.
