1000-lb Best Friends’ Season 3, Episode 3 shines a spotlight on Vannessa Cross as she continues to struggle with her confidence, despite making incredible strides in her weight loss journey. After losing 220 pounds last year, the reality TV star has been sticking to a healthy diet, hoping to see even more progress. This dedication has made her one of the most successful cast members on the show. However, despite her physical transformation, Vannessa hasn’t fully accepted it mentally.

In a raw moment during a group therapy session with Dr. Charles Procter, Vannessa breaks down, still grappling with her body image. Thankfully, she has her friends by her side for emotional support. The episode then shifts to Ashley Sutton, who’s considering speed dating to reenter the dating world, and invites friends Scott Bagwill and Vannessa to join her. During the date, Vannessa meets a man, but he unexpectedly leaves, which understandably shakes her. The scene is heartbreaking, leaving Vannessa on the verge of tears.

This painful moment raises concerns about whether this setback will cause Vannessa, who’s already struggling with her body image, to revert to her old eating habits, causing a withdrawal. The timing couldn’t have been worse, and Vanessa’s devastation was evident, making it clear that she still has a long emotional journey ahead of her.
