Raised in a family where obesity was common, her weight eventually reached life-threatening levels, leaving her physically and emotionally isolated.

She sought help from a nutritional surgeon and committed to a decade-long \u00a0journey of weight loss, therapy, and physical recovery. It was far from easy \u2014 she faced setbacks, had to reshape her relationship with food, and underwent multiple surgeries to improve mobility and rebuild confidence.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-3\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-tags\"><\/div>\n<\/article>\n<div class=\"entry-footer\">\n<div class=\"share-icons\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-box clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pauline Potter, once recognized by Guinness World Records as the world\u2019s heaviest living woman, turned that challenging spotlight into motivation for change.
