Honey Boo Boo seems to want to cheat her way to thinness.
Page Six confirmed Wednesday that the Toddlers & Tiaras alum, whose real name is Alana Thompson, will be undergoing weight-loss surgery in August, but she now admits that while hard work would lead to the same results, she just doesnt want to commit to it.
I know for a fact I could get in the gym, and I know for a fact I could diet, and I know for a fact I can do this to lose my weight, Thompson, 16, explained to Entertainment Tonight Wednesday. Ive tried. I will say Ive tried, but the one thing with me is I have no motivation. I have no motivation to just keep going to the gym every day. I have no motivation to keep eating healthy because, like, Im gonna eat what I think is good.
The reality star said she refuses to force herself to eat a Caesar salad because she believes its healthy (its not) so she would rather go under the knife.
I just think I dont have motivation, and I feel like the surgery would be, like, probably the easiest way to just, like, lose it fast, she said.
But Thompsons sister Lauryn Pumpkin Shannon weighed in and said a lifestyle change would be absolutely necessary after the surgery, citing their mother, Mama June Shannon, who failed to maintain her massive weight loss after surgery.
Im really happy for Alana if thats something that she really wants to do, Pumpkin, 22, said. I definitely think before she takes that big step, which I havent told her this yet, but I think she does need to start making the lifestyle changes.
Thompson, however, is considering it because her manager told her that she will lose 100 pounds basically instantly.
The Here Comes Honey Boo Boo alums manager told us that Thompson and her boyfriend, Dralin Carswell, will be treated by weight-loss expert Dr. Steven Batash in New York City in a procedure that will cost $13,000, but Thompson told ET that she is not 100 percent sure.
I just wanna make sure that this is actually something I wanna do before I just go and do it, she said. I wanna make sure that its, like, not something thats, like, gonna kill me. And I just wanna make sure its something I actually wanna do before I go and do it.
