Gina Marie Krasley has died at the age of 30 only weeks after she revealed that she was suffering from an illness.
The former My 600lb Life star passed away at her home in New Jersey with her family by her side.
Only weeks before her death, the 30-year-old talked about her struggles with a mystery illness that rendered her immobile and left her battling severe leg pains.
Her obituary reads: “Born in Galloway, NJ, Gina has been a lifelong resident of Ocean County, living in Forked River, Barnegat and Tuckerton for the last 6 years.
“Her greatest passion was dancing and she would make up dances with her sister and kids in the neighborhood growing up. She started the “dancing has no size limit” TikTok trend and she dreamed of one day opening up a dance studio for special needs children.
“Gina once appeared in a movie when she was younger called Walking to the Waterline and she enjoyed playing video games and spending time with her family.”
Gina appeared on the TLC weight-loss show, on which she sought the help of doctor Younan Nowzaradan. She talked about struggling with feelings of abandonment and neglect as a child, saying she turned to food for comfort.
“My life has been hard,” she expressed. “The first thing I remember was my older sister Ali getting diagnosed with agoraphobia when I was seven and she was 11. I felt like all of my mom’s attention was on my sister so I always felt my whole life like I was pushed under the rug. So that was a really hard time in my life and I got really jealous of my sister.
“I remember what made me forget the pain of being abandoned was eating. And by the time I was ten, I was already over 150lbs.”
By the time she reached the age of 14, she weighed over 300lbs.
“As I was getting closer to 500lbs, it started to get harder to do things,” she said.
Months after the episode’s broadcast, Gina updated her fans and said she had lost a further 150lbs and weighed only 379lbs, Starcasm reported.
