Putting herself first! As Vanessa Cross attempts to lose weight on TLC’s new series 1000-lb Best Friends, the reality star offered a glimpse at how her love life took a turn amid the journey.“My dating life is horrible and I’ve kind of stopped.

This is just recently. Because they say if you stop looking, that’s when a man finds you,” Vanessa, 42, exclusively told Us Weekly while promoting the upcoming TLC and Discovery+ show. “So I’m putting everything on hold because I tried to talk to a couple guys and ended up sabotaging myself.

We get into an argument or something would happen and I’d end up wanting to eat. Right now, I’m only focusing on losing weight in myself.”Vanessa noted that dealing with her husband’s passing affected both her mental and physical health throughout the years.“That’s what turned me from where I [was at] 350 pounds throughout my entire life — but when he passed away in 2016, my life spiraled out of control.

I gained probably at least 100 pounds [and] actually at my biggest I was 500 pounds,” she explained to Us. “I got up to 500 pounds and then by 2018 is when I got back down to 300 pounds.
