00:00It's hard being on a reality TV show where everyone has 24-hour access to your life.

00:05But it's even harder when you're broadcasting your fears and insecurities for the whole

00:09world to see.

00:11Take Alicia Kirgan on My 600-lb Life, for example.

00:14Kirgan was first introduced in Season 6, according to Distractify.

00:18Not only was she experiencing boyfriend issues, but she was also suffering from a food addiction,

00:23one that, unchecked, was going to eventually kill her.

00:26Prior to the episode, Kirgan's relationship with Tim, her boyfriend, was working.

00:30Both parties enabled each other's addictions.

00:32But once Tim came clean from his drug habit, their relationship slowly went downhill due

00:37to her eating habits.

00:38Kirgan also suffered from childhood trauma, which she identified as the root of her unhealthy

00:43relationship with food and weight.

00:45The Cinemaholic reported that Kirgan turned to food as a source of happiness and comfort

00:50after watching her parents fight and drink as a child.

00:53In an interview, she said,

00:55I started to put on weight at a young age.

01:00My childhood was very chaotic."

01:03Tired of being unhealthy, Kirgan, like all of the stars in My 600-lb Life, met with Dr.

01:08Now and entered his weight loss program to reduce her 622-pound weight, according to Distractify.

01:15So far, Alicia Kirgan has lost over 300 pounds and is dedicated to improving her life.

01:21On top of that, she is committed to exercising three times a week.

01:24In an episode of My 600-lb Life, Where Are They Now?

01:27Kirgan said,

01:28My whole world has completely changed.

01:30I'm feeling more independent than ever.

01:32And I'm starting to figure out who I am and all the things I want out of life.

01:36Kirgan shows her workout progress through her social media accounts.

01:39She posts workout videos, before and after pictures, and inspirational photos for her

01:44fans.

01:45Kirgan shared videos of herself trying new kinds of exercise, like rock climbing.

01:49In a Facebook post, she said,

01:51Rock climbing is so much fun, and so exhausting.

01:54She's also enjoying getting outdoors, hiking in Oregon, and sharing photos of beautiful beaches

01:59and mountains on Facebook.

02:00She's even teased about having excess skin removal surgery on social media, which would

02:04be a big milestone.

02:06Fans are now happily waiting for an update.

02:08While Kirgan's weight loss initially helped her to reconnect with husband Tim, in 2020,

02:13the pair made the difficult decision to split.

02:15In a Facebook post, she shared,

02:17It is with a heavy heart that Tim and I, after much consideration and effort to try and make

02:21things work, have decided to separate.

02:24We still love each other, and we'll remain friends and cheer each other on to live our

02:28best lives whether we are near or far.

02:31We unfortunately are just in different places in life right now, and need to separate in

02:35order to grow.

02:36But Tim is a wonderful man, and I am so thankful and beyond blessed to have been able to share

02:41a good part of my life with him.

02:43While she is living her best life, and is grateful that My 600-lb Life helped her curb

02:48her addiction, Kirgan is slightly upset about her portrayal on the reality TV show.

02:52She said the editing team portrayed her husband in a bad light, showing him as controlling and

02:57condescending.

02:58She has also critiqued the show openly on social media.

03:09Kirgan even filed a fraud lawsuit the day her follow-up episode premiered on April 29th,

03:152020.

03:16The lawsuit alleges that the production team promised to pay Kirgan's medical bills, but

03:19did not fulfill their promises.

03:21The show's producers also failed to provide her with more than one filmed therapy session,

03:26even after she disclosed her depression and anxiety.

03:29Regardless of the issues surrounding the TV show, no one can say that Kirgan isn't living

03:33her best life.
