A morbidly obese woman watched her weight soar to 712lbs after gaining nearly 50lbs while trying to lose weight to qualify for life-saving bariatric surgery.

When Schenee Murry-Hawkins, 27, from Indianapolis, Indiana, started her weight loss journey on the TLC reality series My 600lb Life, she weighed 665lbs. Although she claimed that she feared for her life, she failed to lose a single pound on her own.

After eight months of documenting her struggles, Schenee stopped participating in filming and went as far as blocking her doctor's phone number so he wouldn't be able to reach her.

Morbidly obese: When Schenee Murry-Hawkins, 27, from Indianapolis, Indiana, started her weight loss journey on the TLC reality series My 600lb Life , she weighed 665lbs

Burden: She relied on her husband Freddie to give her a 'bed bath' because she could no longer fit in the shower

Pain: 'I feel like I'm drowning in my fat. It suffocates me, and I'm very miserable,' she said

At the start of the episode, Schenee insisted that her weight was 'ruining' her life.

'I feel like I'm drowning in my fat. It suffocates me, and I'm very miserable,' she said. I'm not able to fit in the shower anymore, so I have to take a bed bath. My husband Freddie pretty much does everything for me.'

In order to get clean, Schenee would have to lie on her bed naked while her husband scrubbed the folds of her skin to make sure she didn't get painful sores under the rolls of flesh.

She admitted that she felt like a burden to Freddie and her entire family because she was unable to take care of herself.

Because of her weight, Schenee also suffered from lymphedema, a painful swelling in her legs that made moving difficult for her.

'I don't mind helping my wife at all. I do it with love,' Freddie told the camera. 'But what breaks my heart about her is the struggles that I have to see.'

Trauma: Schenee said she was a normal weight until she was molested by her cousin at five years old

In pain: Schenee started sneaking food to deal with the emotional trauma of being molested

Schenee explained that she was a normal weight until she was molested by her cousin when she was five years old.

Her mother, Verlena, recalled Schenee coming up from the basement of her uncle's house and whining while touching her groin, making it clear that she was in pain.

'All I remember is my mom had taking me to the doctors because I couldn't use the bathroom,' Schenee said. 'It was hurting really bad and that's when she found out.'

Schenee started sneaking food to deal with the emotional trauma of being molested, and she began putting on unhealthy amounts of weight.

When she was just seven years old, she tipped the scales at 130lbs. She recalled one of her elementary school teachers humiliating her by throwing out her lunch in front of the other kids because she was 'too fat.'

Schenee said the embarrassment just made her want to eat more. According to Verlena, Schenee would steal food from the refrigerator, and she would be left finding bones in the couch or under the bed.

Out of control: When she was just seven years old, she tipped the scales at 130lbs

Humiliation: Schenee recalled one of her elementary school teachers throwing out her lunch in front of the other kids because she was 'too fat'

Getting bigger: By the time she was 16 years old, Schenee weighed about 200lbs

Growing up, she was constantly getting picked on for being heavy, and by the time she was 16 years old, she weighed about 200lbs.

Things only got worse for Schenee after she developed a flesh-eating bacteria on her legs and had to have emergency surgery to save her life. Her weight started to spiral out of control while she was on bed rest for an entire year.

Schenee weighed more than 300lbs when she graduated high school, and her weight increased another 100lbs after she developed cellulitis, a bacterial infection on her skin.

The infection in her leg made it difficult for her to walk or keep a job, and by the time she was 20 she weighed 430lbs.

Three years later, Schenee was out with her cousin and her boyfriend when his cousin raped her.

'It felt like he was a monster not letting me up,' she said. 'I couldn't fight off my attacker. The incident made me to go food even more.

Another trauma: She continued to turn to food for comfort after she was raped at the age of 23

Love at first sight: When she was 25, Schenee fell in love with her husband Freddie

'By eating and staying big, I did feel like it would protect me in some ways,' she admitted. ''Like I'm gonna be this big so nobody wants to talk to me.'

Schenee weighed over 500lbs when she met her friend's brother Freddie and fell in love with him at the age of 25.

'It felt like it was meant to be. I always believed in love at first sight,' she recalled. 'I feel like he was my love at first sight.'

Freddie said he was sympathetic to Schenee's situation because he has struggled with his weight for years as well.

'I like plus-size women. They're beautiful to me,' he said.

The couple dated for a year before they got married, but Schenee was unable to find a wedding dress that fit her.

'It broke my heart terribly,' she said.

Vicious cycle: Her weight had gotten so out of control that Freddie had to push her around the grocery store in a wheelchair

Pit stop: After grocery shopping, they went to the drive-thru so she could pick up fried shrimp

Fears: 'If I don't change I will die,' she admitted, but she still couldn't stop eating

Schenee also suffered from two miscarriages while and she and Freddie were trying to have a child.

'Freddie wants a child, and right now I can't give it to him,' she admitted. 'So he gets mad because he sees all the other men being a father.'

Despite her hardships, Schenee just couldn't stop eating. It was one of the only things she really looked forward to.

During the episode, Freddie helped her get in the driver's seat of her car before they headed to the grocery store together.

The doting husband pushed her around in a wheelchair while she picked out junk food that she wanted. Schenee struggled with people staring at her and even filming her, but her main focus was getting the food that she wanted.

Schenee happily filled their cart with boxed macaroni and cheese, oil for deep frying food, and sugar, which she even puts in her spaghetti sauce.

Can't stop: Schenee gorged on sandwiches while traveling to Houston, Texas, to meet with weight loss surgeon Dr. Younan Nowzaradan

Shocked: During her consultation, she learned she weighed 665lbs

After the trip to the grocery store, she and Freddie went to the drive-thru and gorged on fried shrimp while sitting in their car.

'If I don't change I will die,' she admitted.

With her weight increasing by the day, Schenee and her family drove for two days in a van, so she could meet with weight loss surgeon Dr. Younan Nowzaradan.

When she stepped on the scale ahead of her consultation, she learned that she was 665lbs. Schenee also had a BMI of 123. A BMI of 18.5 to 24.9 is considered healthy, but hers was five times that.

'The only reason you are even alive is because you are young,' the doctor told Schenee before putting her on a 1,200-calorie, no-carb diet.

Dr. Nowzaradan noted that she should be able to easily lose 30lbs in one month to qualify for weight loss surgery, but he had a feeling that she wasn't taking him seriously.

More than a cheat meal: Although the doctor put her on a 1,200 calorie diet, she continued to eat more than 10,000 calories per day

Marital woes: Schenee started getting in fights with Freddie, and at one point she told him: 'The only thing you do is wipe my a** and wash me up'

Schenee immediately struggled with following the restrictive diet, and she ended up missing her follow-up appointment because she was unable to travel from Indianapolis to Houston.

She was also fighting with Freddie and accusing him of not doing enough for her.

'The only thing you do is wipe my a** and wash me up,' she said, leaving Freddie fuming.

After making the trek back to Houston for her second visit with the doctor, it was revealed that Schenee weighed 693lbs after she gained the 28lbs she was supposed to lose.

She tried to blame the weight gain on the fluid in her legs, but the doctor wasn't having it.

Dr. Nowzaradan insisted that she had to be eating more than 10,000 calories a day to put on that much weight.

Schenee tried another approach and told the doctor that she and Freddie were having marital troubles, but he refused to let her off the hook.

After making the trek back to Houston for her second visit with the doctor, it was revealed that Schenee had gained 28lbs

Try again: Schenee claimed the weight gain was fluid retention, but the doctor wasn't letting her make excuses

Before she left, he insisted she had to lose 30lbs in one month and start seeing a therapist to deal with the emotional trauma that caused her to turn to food for comfort.

Schenee and Freddie were stuck living in hotels while they looked for an apartment in Houston, and she admitted that had been cheating on her diet a bit.

She was once again a no-show for her weigh-in, but this time she went to the hospital claiming that she had stomach pain.

Dr. Nowzaradan had a hunch that she was just trying to avoid getting on the scale, but because her health was in peril, he had to take her claim seriously.

An endoscopy showed that there was nothing-life threatening going on with Schenee, but it did reveal that she was taking five times the normal amount of diuretics to try and lose weight quickly. She had also missed all of her psychotherapy appointments.

At this point, Schenee's weight was up to 712lbs, and hospital staffers were catching Freddie sneaking in burgers and pizza for his wife to eat.

Caught: Schenee ended up going to the hospital for stomach pain, and while she was fine, the doctor learned that she was having her husband sneak junk food in for her

Enabler: Freddie tried to convince the doctor that Schenee didn't eat any of the pizza but failed to explain why she wasn't losing weight

Success: Schenee was gaining so much weight that Dr. Nowzaradan kept her in the hospital on a controlled diet until she lost 91lbs and got down to 621lbs

When he went to confront her, Schenee insisted that the pizza was Freddie's and she didn't eat any. Freddie even backed up her story, but Dr. Nowzaradan refused to believe her.

He continued to ask her why she hadn't lost any weight if she was following the diet like she claimed. Schenee insisted that it was the result of fluid retention, but the doctor hit back: 'You are not 700lbs of water.'

'Then send me back home!' she yelled.

Freddie tried to diffuse the situation, begging the doctor to give her another chance because she had been working so hard.

Schenee was gaining so much weight that Dr. Nowzaradan kept her in the hospital on a controlled diet until she lost 91lbs and got down to 621lbs.

She promised she would go to therapy and follow her diet when she left the hospital, but she and Freddie still didn't have any place to live.

They were staying in hotels, and Schenee insisted that all there was to eat was fast food. Six months into her failed weight loss attempt, she claimed she was too busy to visit the doctor because she had just moved into her apartment in Houston.

Difficult: After she got out of the hospital, Schenee went back to cheating on her diet and got in a fight with the doctor on the phone because she skipped her check up

Not what she wanted to hear: Her therapist pointed out that she was likely looking for reasons to stray from the path that she knows she needs to be on

This time, Dr. Nowzaradan called her on the phone to see what was going on, noting that she probably hadn't lost any weight.

Schenee agreed that she hadn't, claiming she didn't have time to start eating healthy because of the move.

She started asking the doctor if he believed in god, arguing: 'I believe god is going to take me as far as he wants me to. If he wants me to have this surgery I will.'

The surgeon tried telling her that god wasn't going to automatically fix the consequences of her bad choices, but she started to get offended when he told her she wasn't in the right state of mind.

Schenee went on to insult him, noting that he wasn't the only weight loss doctor out there nor was he perfect.

If anyone had the right to be frustrated, it was the doctor, but Freddie backed Schenee up after she got off the phone with him, insisting that all she did was ask him a simple question.

'I am very knowledged,' she said, and Freddie added: 'He ain't used to that kind of intelligence.'

Fail: When she showed up for her final weigh-in, it was revealed that she gained 43lbs and was back up to 664lbs

Gone girl: After eight months on the show, she stopped participating in filming and failed to make it to her scheduled appointment with the doctor

She's done: She even blocked his number so he couldn't reach her

After the fight, Schenee finally agreed to go to therapy, and her therapist pointed out that she was likely looking for reasons to stray from the path that she knows she needs to be on.

But Schenee still couldn't buckle down and lose the weight. When she showed up for her final weigh-in, it was revealed that she gained 43lbs and was back up to 664lbs.

Schenee tried apologizing to the doctor about how she acted over the phone, but he didn't want to hear it.

He said he would accept her apology when she lost weight. He sent her away once again with the goal of losing 30lbs. However, this time he warned her that she would be removed from the program if she didn't comply.

After eight months on the show, she stopped participating in filming and failed to make it to her scheduled appointment with the doctor. She even blocked his number so he couldn't reach her.

'We provided Schenee with every possible resource and opportunity to lose weight and she failed to lose a single pound,' he told the camera. 'Outside of a controlled environment she continued to gain the whole time.'

'She made a choice to reject all the help offered to her and do this all on her own now,' he added.
