When My 600-Lb Life returns, cast member Krystal will be shown feeling embarrassed after she spots customers at a grocery store reacting to her appearance. It doesn't end up being a pleasant experience as Krystal realizes some of her fellow customers are making faces and other gestures to express how they feel about her.
My 600-Lb Life follows cast members as they work with doctors and surgeons to lose weight and improve their health, with the hope that they will be able to stick with their regimen and positive habits long after appearing on the show. After it became a hit, My 600-Lb Life launched a spin-off that follows up with past cast members. The network even started airing a separate show called 1000-Lb Sisters that has a similar premise.
Ahead of the season 12 premiere of My 600-Lb Life, Access Hollywood released a sneak peek from the upcoming season. The clip shows Krystal and her family going grocery shopping, but it turns sour when she notices some other customers giving her judgmental looks and making gestures to show their disapproval.
