If you"ve been anywhere near social media in the past week, you"ve probably seen some all-caps, exclamatory headlines about June Shannon"s weight loss.
Shannon, of course, is the disgraced former star of TLC"s Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, so you could be forgiven for ignoring those headlines.
After all, not only is Shannon washed up, she"s washed up for good reason, as she was accused of dating the man who was convicted of molesting her daughter after he was released from prison.
So yeah, outside of Duggar Land, it"s hard to find a more revolting reality TV scandal.
(Side note: HOW IS TLC STILL ALLOWED TO EXIST?!?!)
Anyway, there are several good reasons that you might choose to ignore any new Mama June-related news.
That said, the woman"s surgically-assisted weight loss is truly astonishing and must be seen to be believed.
Mama June"s final weight loss went viral for good reason.
Despite all the excess baggage she"s carrying in other areas of her life, Mama June is literally half the woman she used to be in terms of her weight.
In the past, she"s been heavily criticized for feeding her daughters a steady diet of disgusting, processed crap, but June says now that she"s experienced the joys of healthier living through surgery, she"ll be making the right decisions for her kids:
“I don’t want them to go through what I went through in school or with surgery,” she says. “I’ve seen them lose and gain weight, but I don’t want them to end up like I did at 460 lbs. Who would want that?”
It"s slightly irritating that she acts like she"s just findng out that having a toddler guzzle Mountain Dew is a bad idea, but at least she"s changing her ways.
