00:11:06,724 --> 00:11:09,827 AND IT KEPT CREEPING UP HIGHER AND HIGHER. 189 00:11:09,827 --> 00:11:13,517 BUT MY WEIGHT GAIN MADE MY DAD EVEN ANGRIER WITH ME. 190 00:11:13,517 --> 00:11:16,482 SOMETIMES HE WOULD CALL ME NAMES LIKE "FAT ASS," 191 00:11:16,482 --> 00:11:19,965 AND IT REALLY HURT MY FEELINGS. 192 00:11:21,655 --> 00:11:24,000 SO I COULDN'T WAIT TO GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL 193 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,241 SO I COULD MOVE AWAY FROM HIM. 194 00:11:26,241 --> 00:11:30,068 BUT THINGS GOT WORSE FOR ME BECAUSE AS SOON AS I TURNED 18, 195 00:11:30,068 --> 00:11:35,655 I MOVED OUT OF MY PARENTS' HOUSE AND I WENT HOG WILD. 196 00:11:35,655 --> 00:11:37,103 I DID WHAT I WANTED, 197 00:11:37,103 --> 00:11:40,068 AND I STARTED PARTYING AND DRINKING A LOT. 198 00:11:40,068 --> 00:11:44,655 AND ONE NIGHT, A GROUP OF GUYS WHO I THOUGHT WERE MY FRIENDS, 199 00:11:44,655 --> 00:11:47,689 THEY KEPT, YOU KNOW, TRYING TO GET ME INTO A ROOM WITH THEM. 200 00:11:47,689 --> 00:11:49,172 AND I KIND OF DIDN'T WANT TO. I WANTED TO STAY 201 00:11:49,172 --> 00:11:52,137 WITH EVERYBODY ELSE AND DANCE AND HAVE FUN. 202 00:11:52,137 --> 00:11:55,034 BUT THEY ENDED UP PUSHING ME INTO THE ROOM 203 00:11:55,034 --> 00:11:57,517 AND THEY RAPED ME. 204 00:12:00,862 --> 00:12:06,241 AFTER I WAS RAPED, I DEFINITELY STARTED EATING MORE. 205 00:12:06,241 --> 00:12:08,620 THAT ALL HAPPENED WHEN I WAS 19, 206 00:12:08,620 --> 00:12:12,172 AND I WAS ALREADY OVER 350 POUNDS AT THAT POINT. 207 00:12:12,172 --> 00:12:14,724 BUT AFTER THAT, I STARTED GAINING EVEN MORE. 208 00:12:17,034 --> 00:12:22,310 AND I WAS WELL OVER 450 POUNDS BY THE TIME I TURNED 20. 209 00:12:22,310 --> 00:12:26,137 BUT MY LIFE CONTINUED TO GET EVEN WORSE FROM THERE. 210 00:12:26,137 --> 00:12:28,482 AND ONE NIGHT AT A PARTY, I MET A GUY, 211 00:12:28,482 --> 00:12:30,448 AND WE STARTED SLEEPING TOGETHER, 212 00:12:30,448 --> 00:12:33,931 AND I WOUND UP PREGNANT. 213 00:12:33,931 --> 00:12:36,379 AT FIRST, I WAS SCARED ABOUT BEING PREGNANT, 214 00:12:36,379 --> 00:12:40,448 AND THEN I WAS REALLY, REALLY EXCITED AND I COULDN'T WAIT. 215 00:12:40,448 --> 00:12:43,310 I THINK BECAUSE IT WAS GONNA BE SOMEBODY 216 00:12:43,310 --> 00:12:45,896 THAT WOULD ALWAYS LOVE ME. 217 00:12:51,862 --> 00:12:53,827 BUT I TOLD MY MOM THAT I WAS PREGNANT, 218 00:12:53,827 --> 00:12:58,000 AND THAT'S BASICALLY WHEN MY DAD CUT ALL TIES WITH ME, 219 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:02,344 AND HE HASN'T SPOKEN TO ME IN ABOUT 11 YEARS. 220 00:13:02,344 --> 00:13:06,000 BUT I HAD A MISCARRIAGE, AND THEN AFTER THAT, 221 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,137 THE GUY THAT I WAS PREGNANT WITH 222 00:13:08,137 --> 00:13:10,586 DIDN'T REALLY WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH ME ANYMORE. 223 00:13:10,586 --> 00:13:15,068 I WAS REALLY DEPRESSED AND I JUST WANTED TO LEAVE. 224 00:13:15,068 --> 00:13:17,620 AND MY GRANDPARENTS LIVED IN VEGAS, 225 00:13:17,620 --> 00:13:19,137 AND SO I CALLED THEM 226 00:13:19,137 --> 00:13:22,172 AND I ASKED IF CAN MOVE IN WITH THEM, AND THEY SAID "YES." 227 00:13:22,172 --> 00:13:24,000 AND SO MY MOM BOUGHT ME A PLANE TICKET, 228 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,206 AND I LEFT TO GO TO LAS VEGAS. 229 00:13:29,758 --> 00:13:31,206 BUT I THOUGHT WHEN I MOVED THERE 230 00:13:31,206 --> 00:13:33,827 THAT IT COULD BE A CLEAN START FOR ME. 231 00:13:33,827 --> 00:13:37,103 I WAS 21 AND GETTING CLOSE TO BEING 500 POUNDS, 232 00:13:37,103 --> 00:13:39,896 SO I KNOW MY WEIGHT WAS STARTING TO GET OUT OF CONTROL, 233 00:13:39,896 --> 00:13:42,103 BUT MY EATING DIDN'T SLOW DOWN. 234 00:13:42,103 --> 00:13:46,241 AND I ALSO FELL BACK INTO PARTYING A LOT, TOO. 235 00:13:46,241 --> 00:13:48,379 BUT THERE WAS ONE REALLY GOOD THING THAT HAPPENED TO ME 236 00:13:48,379 --> 00:13:50,068 BECAUSE OF MY MOVE. 237 00:13:52,448 --> 00:13:54,655 I STARTED WORKING AT A CONVENIENCE STORE, 238 00:13:54,655 --> 00:13:56,827 AND THAT'S WHEN I MET RICK. 239 00:13:56,827 --> 00:14:00,793 HE WAS MY SECURITY OFFICER IN THE STORE, 240 00:14:00,793 --> 00:14:04,862 AND WE WORKED EIGHT HOURS A DAY TOGETHER. 241 00:14:04,862 --> 00:14:08,448 SO WE NATURALLY STARTED GETTING CLOSER AND CLOSER. 242 00:14:08,448 --> 00:14:10,482 AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, ONE DAY, HE ASKED ME 243 00:14:10,482 --> 00:14:14,862 IF I WANTED TO GO OUT ON A DATE, AND I WAS, LIKE, "SURE." 244 00:14:14,862 --> 00:14:17,586 WHEN I FIRST MET BRI, WE GOT TO KNOW EACH OTHER A LITTLE BIT, 245 00:14:17,586 --> 00:14:21,172 AND WE WOULD FLIRT IN THE STORE SOMETIMES. 246 00:14:21,172 --> 00:14:23,689 YOU KNOW, I WASN'T NECESSARILY ATTRACTED TO HER BODY, 247 00:14:23,689 --> 00:14:27,586 BUT BRI IS A FUN-LOVING, BIG-HEARTED PERSON. 248 00:14:29,034 --> 00:14:32,931 Brianne: I WAS 22 AT THE TIME, AND RICK WAS 52. 249 00:14:32,931 --> 00:14:34,517 BUT I JUST FELL IN LOVE WITH HIM, 250 00:14:34,517 --> 00:14:39,068 AND I DIDN'T CARE ABOUT THE AGE DIFFERENCE, 251 00:14:39,068 --> 00:14:41,620 AND THAT HE HAD A DAUGHTER FROM A PREVIOUS MARRIAGE 252 00:14:41,620 --> 00:14:44,931 NAMED CATRINA THAT HE WAS RAISING. 253 00:14:44,931 --> 00:14:47,413 IN FACT, WHEN HE INTRODUCED ME TO CATRINA, WHO, AT THE TIME, 254 00:14:47,413 --> 00:14:52,103 WAS 12, I SAW MYSELF IN HER, AND I WANTED HER 255 00:14:52,103 --> 00:14:55,551 TO HAVE SOMEBODY TO LOOK UP TO AND TO LOVE. 256 00:14:57,413 --> 00:15:00,275 HAVING RICK AND CATRINA IN MY LIFE MADE ME FEEL LIKE 257 00:15:00,275 --> 00:15:03,172 I FINALLY HAD THE FAMILY I ALWAYS WANTED. 258 00:15:03,172 --> 00:15:06,241 IT WAS WONDERFUL. 259 00:15:06,241 --> 00:15:08,206 BRIANNE STEPPED UP AND BECAME THE PERSON 260 00:15:08,206 --> 00:15:11,517 THAT I NEEDED TO BE MY MOM. 261 00:15:11,517 --> 00:15:13,931 AND HER WEIGHT DIDN'T REALLY MATTER TO ME. 262 00:15:13,931 --> 00:15:16,517 BUT SHE STARTED SLOWLY GAINING MORE AND MORE AND MORE 263 00:15:16,517 --> 00:15:19,068 AND GETTING HEAVIER AND HEAVIER AND HEAVIER. 264 00:15:22,103 --> 00:15:23,758 Brianne: OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS, 265
