Vanessa goes on to say, "Meghan got the surgery, but I didn't. Maintaining my diet has been damn-near impossible. But I'm sick and tired of being fat and tired."

She tells her Meghan and their other girlfriends, Tina Arnold and Ashley Sutton, who are also a part of the 1000-Lb Best Friends cast, "I don't want to give up this time."

In the clip, Dr. Charles Procter tells Vanessa that she has gained weight since her last check-in and tells her if she doesn't lose weight, she isn't going to be "around for much longer." She will definitely have a more challenging time at losing weight than Meghan and tells the camera, "I'm jealous of the fact that she did it and made it look so easy. It ain't that easy."

1000-Lb Best Friends premieres Monday, Feb. 7 at 10 p.m. EST on TLC.
