Mama June shows off incredible weight loss but tells obese 11-year-old daughter Honey Boo Boo to IGNORE doctor’s orders to go on a strict diet
The 37-year-old was not impressed by her doctor's suggestion that her daughter should lose weight too
SLIMLINE Mama June has told daughter Honey Boo Boo to ignore doctors' suggestions about losing weight.
The reality star shocked her fans last month when she revealed she had dropped from 33 stone to a tiny size eight for her new show after undergoing gastric sleeve surgery.
In the latest episode of Mama June: From Not to Hot, 11-year-old Honey Boo Boo and her older sister Pumpkin were taken aside by their mum's doctor to talk about how they were going to care for her when she returned home after surgery.
With a new healthy lifestyle to follow, the GP suggested the girls change their eating habits to fit with their mum's, but Honey Boo Boo was not impressed.
After rolling her eyes, she said she loved her "curves" and wasn't "jumping on that bandwagon unless there were cheeseburgers on it".
She added: "Like, I have no idea what this man’s talking about.
“Mama’s on this diet, but I’m not, boo boo. I like my curves. … I mean, seriously, this dude is really crazy.”
Speaking to about her daughter's weight, after showing off more of her own impressive weight loss in the latest episode, Mama June said: "I mean, I want her to love herself for her, and love her for her, and not give a s*** what anybody else says.
"But also, [I tell her], ‘I need you to know that you need to be worrying’ because her dad, her grandmother on that side, does have diabetes and stuff'."
But the 37-year-old added her little girl didn't need to worry herself too much about her size at this stage.
She continued: "I’m not like, ‘Oh, my god. This is what’s going to happen.’ No.
“Because who knows, I’ve seen people extra big at ten or 11 and be skinny as hell whenever they get older.”
