I doubt Shelby’s cal limit is true as the show often inflates calories so my personal estimate is 500 , she said she would have a piece of toast for breakfast and a chocolate bar later on in the day + “forget” to eat lunch and dinner . Her partner said she doesn’t finish meals
Motivation:
Lauren: wants to play a more active role in her daughters life and her weight is a barrier to this
Shelby: also a mum and wants to gain some weight to feel more like a woman and less like a child , her daughter is her main motivation

Betty talks about how her weight is preventing her from having a child and she is upset about this.
She then shows Lauren how difficult it is for her to do basic activities such as grocery shopping . Her partner has to get a mobility scooter as she can’t hold her own weight
