Where Zsalynn Whitworth From My 600-Lb Life Is Now

May 2024 ยท 2 minute read

Like other "My 600-lb Life" castmates, Zsalynn Whitworth said in her "Where Are They Now" episode, "food was my coping mechanism." And she relied on it when things got tough. Zsalynn was able to qualify for Dr. Now's program and received gastric bypass surgery, eventually losing 316 pounds. That weight loss made her eligible for skin removal surgery, per Starcasm, and though she was worried about the surgery, she did go through with it, and lost another 52 pounds of skin. Her total weight loss was 378 pounds. She also shed the weight of her problematic husband, Gareth, when they finally got a divorce (can we say thank goodness?).

But Zsalynn still had challenges ahead of her. She struggled with depression when she had to share custody of her daughter Hannah, per Daily Mail. She felt lonely when Hannah was not around, and it was difficult not to give in to sweets and unhealthy foods as a way of dealing with the depression.

Fortunately, with help from a therapist, Zsalynn has continued her journey, while also remaining an ambassador for body positivity, and she appears much happier now. She loves dogs, and shares photos of them as well as her daughter Hannah on her social media accounts, from Twitter and Facebook to Instagram to TikTok. She has even found a new love. She has a compassionate new partner named Jack Lapp, and they look like a wonderfully supportive team.
