Mama June Shannon To Join Beauty Pageant After Losing 300 Pounds [WATCH]
Mama June Shannon has achieved her body goal but more challenges are on the way.
Shannon has lost over 300 pounds after undergoing several surgeries. She documented her transformation on WE tv's "Mama June: From Not to Hot." The TV series is returning for another season and her viewers will see her pursuing a new set of goals, including her pageant queen dreams, Entertainment Tonight reported.
The publication shared a clip featuring a tiara and Shannon wearing a silver-shimmering gown and a pair of heels. "I'm sorry y'all, I can't walk in heels," the reality star says. "I've been always on the other side of the pageant world ... I don't have any talent."
Although Shannon is hesitant with her skills in joining beauty pageants, her daughter Honey Boo Boo is confident in her. The "Toddlers & Tiaras" star challenges her mom to join a beauty pageant the way she does. Honey Boo Boo whose real name is Alana Thompson has been a child beauty pageant contestant. She offers to coach her mom as Mama June pursues her beauty queen dream.
"If you love me, you will do this pageant," Honey Boo Boo says. The next scenes feature Honey Boo Boo teaching her mom how to walk and instructing Shannon to leap as she practices rhythmic gymnastics. The entire process is challenging for both. "You would never won this," a frustrated Honey Boo Boo tells her mom.
Aside from joining a beauty pageant, the teaser features Shannon finding a new love and going back to the hospital due to an emergency. The family will also have a new addition as Pumpkin announces that she is pregnant.
Shannon's surgery included breast augmentation, abdominoplasty, rhytidectomy, brachioplasty and gastric sleeve that amounted to over $75,000. The reality TV personality confessed to People that gastric sleeve surgery was the worst while adding that it was "so painful."
In August, Shannon showed off her slimmer frame in a little black dress with cutout shoulder detail. By that time, she already lost 352 pounds following her weight loss journey.
Shannon is in her best shape and is determined to keep it. "I just watch my portions and cut back on a lot of the carbs. The one thing that I cannot live without is my grapes and cheese," she said about her diet. "For me, throughout the years, I've been able to drop the weight. But maintaining it…I guess I became what you call a 'scale whore' because I was constantly beating myself up."
