When we first meet Destinee, 27, she can't consider what her life has grow to be. "I have so much that I want to do and that I need to do and I can't believe that this is my life now, where I just lay here all day and wait for food," she tells the digicam.

So where is Destinee now?

Destinee, in some ways, was only in the near past reborn and she or he definitely doesn't need her new lifestyles, through which she's finally living as a woman, to finish. "I know there is just no way I'm going to survive for a lot longer because my body can't take getting any bigger than I already let it," she pronounces.

"My situation is at a breaking point. I need to get help, I need to be able to lose this weight or they're going to be burying me next," she continues, "because I don't think I can live until next year being this big." Destinee is determined not to sign up for the ranks of the My 600-lb Life stars who have sadly passed away.

"At this rate, I give myself a couple of months and that's not the future I should be facing before I've hardly even had a chance to live my life," she despairs. "So as impossible and hopeless as it seems to try and change and give up eating like I do, I'm ready to try and find a way before it's too late because if I don't, then I know I'm going to die."
