The 47-year-old had boasted that men think she is a “sex goddess” and has “fantastic sex every day,” but she cannot turn over in bed and or fit in her car.
She wants to lose as much as 500 pounds so that she can go dancing, do road trips and fit in seats at the movie theatre.
Potter blames her upbringing and genes as the main reasons for her size: “My mom was over 400 pounds and my dad over 600.I have eight siblings, all which are over 300,except one. We were just raised, that if it was happy we'd celebrate with food, if it was sad, oh you fell down and skinned yourknee, here's ice-cream.”
She has repeatedly postponed losing weight, but has decided it is now time to do something about her size as she has to rely on her son for help: “Everything is difficult from getting dressed to taking a bath. I can't put my own socks on. As far asmy daily activity I do, everything is very difficult and thank goodness I have a very good relationship with my son and he is very helpful. He helps me do anything that's difficult.”
