Early Life:
Amber Rachdi was born on the 22nd of June 1990, in Portland, Oregon. Born and raised in Portland, Amber had troubles with her weight from a young age. By the time Amber was five years of age, she weighed more than 160 pounds.

From a young age, Amber was unable to carry most of her weight on her legs. Not only was she unable to stand for more than 30-minutes at a time, but she also couldn’t shower and avoided leaving the house at all costs. Even if she did, she had to use a motor scooter. Due to her weight, Amber could not get behind the steering wheel of a motor car, and could not support herself.
Getting to My 600lb life:
When Amber was told that she wouldn’t live to see 30, she decided that it was time for a change. So in 2015, Amber decided to relocate more than 2,000 miles, in hopes of shedding the pounds.

Amber, is just one of many people who, simply spent too much time, consuming high calorie food, without balancing it out with exercise.
She is slim now, but that’s not due to any effort on her part to control her food intake and lack of exercise.
I don’t think that she should now be looked up to as an example of a person that disciplined herself in order to literally preserve her life,
because her weight loss is due top stomach stapling, and that’s a big difference between people who knuckle down to reach a worthy goal, and one who was artificially helped to lose weight, at a no doubt huge expense to taxpaying citizens who don’t eat themselves to immobility and then turn to the state for help.
