Shauntina "Shay" Sorrells is the biggest contestant to ever tip "The Biggest Loser" scales. At her first weigh-in, the married mother of two was 476 pounds. Now she talks to ET about why she feels she packed on the pounds and what she is going to do to save her life!
ET: In addition to loving food, because your bio says you love friend chicken, biscuits, mac and cheese and all the other great starches, what do you think got you to the weight you are now?
Shay: There is a bunch of stuff. I will give you the lowdown version. My mom was a heroin addict for 29 years. I saw the destruction and the path of addiction. That is first and foremost. Secondly, there was a two-year period when we were homeless and there was a lack of food. When there is a lack of food, all you do is crave it more. You desire it, so it becomes second nature to have it whenever and as much of it as you can. That became a huge part of my subconscious.
