Krasley’s Struggle with Obesity
Talking about struggles throughout her life, Gina said, “My life’s been hard. The first thing I remember was my older sister, Allie, getting diagnosed with agoraphobia when I was 7 and she was 11. I felt like all my mom’s whole attention was on my sister.”
She said, “I always felt like I was pushed under the rug. I felt like I was abandoned.
