Divided And Daily Habits

Yes, they were drifted apart from each other but in their hearts, they wanted to be together. In an effort to forget the past, in 2005, the twins tried to keep all their sad memories aside and came together on “The Oprah Winfrey Show”. They were trying to get to the real issue that caused differences. For the show, a short film was to be shot and the camera recorded Mary and Ruth’s routine work. This was embarrassing for Mary.

Mary realized the toxic relation that she had with food when she watched the playback of this video. This film made her understand how wrong she has been doing to herself. She could relate to her problems of being unable to stop overeating. This was quite humiliating for Mary but she wasn’t going to change anyway…

Caught On Camera

One of the most awkward things happened for Mary when she broke the salon chair while trying to fit into it. This happened in front of the complete show’s filming cast and her sister. Mary couldn’t believe that she just brought herself into so much insult. She felt like running away. But what she did next was something too much for anyone to handle.

Keeping Bad Habits

Even though all of the awkward moments caught on the camera and later on telecasted on the TV, Mary took pride in her bad habits. On the show, Mary agreed that she felt ashamed of having a skinny twin sister when she herself weighed 420 pounds. However, she was not ready to change any of her habits. She chose this lifestyle for herself and she was happy about it.

Mary’s family, and friends, all wanted her to look after her health. Even on the show, her son asked her to get rid of this evil cycle. Chris, Mary’s son wanted his mother to live a long and healthy life which seemed impossible with this weight. Mary didn’t give much attention to Chris’ words then but now she regrets not taking him seriously on that day…

Chris’ Wish

Chris shared his concerns very honestly. He told that how he was scared that he might lose his mom to obesity anytime. Also, she has never been able to be a part of his life. She usually stayed on the bed and Chris couldn’t remember the last time he had a quality time with his mother. He wanted her to cook for him or play with him but nothing much ever happened in this mother and son relationship.
