Fans of My 600-lb Life know it’s more than a show—it’s a raw look at struggle, pain, and courage. Among its most memorable stories is Amber Rachdi’s.
At just 23, Amber weighed over 660 pounds and felt trapped by her body and emotions. But instead of giving up, she chose to change her life.
Her journey wasn’t easy. Food had been her comfort since childhood—a way to cope with anxiety and loneliness. Yet through determination, therapy, and hard work, Amber began to heal both physically and emotionally.
Years later, she’s unrecognizable—not just in size, but in spirit. Amber’s story reminds us that transformation starts with one brave decision: to believe you’re worth saving.
