Admitting you have a problem is the first step to solving it, so bravo!

Pauline Potter, recently crowned the heaviest woman alive by the Guinness World Records, wants to shed the weight that got her in the spotlight, but will need some help to do it.

She told Dr. Drew that even before she tipped the scales at 700 pounds to become the heaviest woman alive, she knew she needed a healthy change.

After writing to television personalities like Oprah, Dr. Oz and Dr. Phil only to never hear back, she decided to contact the Guinness World Records to share her story with the public in hopes of getting help she needs.

While we don't agree with relying on assistance from celebrities to lose weight, at least Pauline had a healthy goal in mind.

Check out her interview with Dr. Drew above to find out how she got so big and how her size impacts her quality of life.

We hope she finally gets in contact with somebody who can assist her with the weight loss journey that lies ahead.

For anyone else struggling with excessive weight, do not sit around and wait for the help you need. Get up and FIND IT!
