Disgusted with her appearance, she has reached a point where she can't stop eating and wouldn't, as it hs become the best part of her day.

However, her mother wasn't aware of her father's behavior for a long time and that's when Seana turned to food to cope with it. By the time she was eight, she weighed over 150 pounds.

Although her mother chose to walk out of the relationship and moved to a new city, her father insisted on spending summers with Seanne, during which she continued to be subjected to his abuse.

Her constant eating led to further weight gain and Seana was over 200 pounds by the time she was 10. When kids at school started making fun of her owing to her enormous frame, she felt isolated. Food became her only friend and she weighed over 400 pounds by the time she was 15.

Nevertheless, her dependency on food kept increasing despite counseling and now she has hit the downward spiral. Seana says she wants to fix her life before it becomes too late.

'My 600-lb Life' airs on Wednesdays on TLC.
