It ended in a very public breakup at which time the My Big Fat Fabulous Life star also erased everything regarding Severino from her social media.

After that tragic chapter in her life, the reality TV star began contemplating weight loss surgery

She even attended a virtual appointment with a bariatric surgeon, though she made no commitment at the time.

In a People interview from September of this year, Thore she agreed that she may have been simply reacting to the situation with Severino, saying, “My therapist was like, yeah, you were really just looking for relief or a solution or something,” but ultimately saying, “I was feeling that a year ago, I’m not feeling that now.”

She said that, even a few months ago, she realized that she didn’t want to do the surgery and she feels like the realization was a positive move.
