A 48-year-old mother in Tennessee, US has shared her long and grueling weight-loss journey that span two years.

Milla Clark once weighed 340kg, causing her to be bedridden for two years. When her husband Elroy suffered a heart attack, she was unable to visit him in hospital. He later passed away.

With support from her five children, four among them adopted, as well as physical therapies and weight loss surgeries, she was able to shed as much as 124kg in two years.

Before that, a massive swelling known as lymphedema on her leg pinned her down and she could not leave her bed. Doctors had to perform surgery to remove it.

In an interview during that period, she said: "Every single day of my life is miserable. I have been trapped in these four walls for more than two years. During that time, I have not stood one time. All I can do is eat and sleep."

She added that her kids had to wash her every morning because she couldn't do so herself, lamenting that no kid should take care of his of her parents.
