Too many hurtful bullies that l've suffered since when l was a kid. They called me fat pig, whale, elephant, barney, sumo wrestler plus the verbal abuse/insults from one of my ex-boyfriends; whose a cheater. He'd always make fun of me and embarrassed me in front of other people. I won't forget when one time he cursed me, that l no longer find a serious guy to love and accept me because of my weight issue.

Other than that, l had a PCOS and back problems way back in my college days. My doctor advised me to lose weight. So l enrolled the gym and took those miracle diet pills. But it didn't help me maybe because l wasn't really serious that time.

After graduating college, l had a hard time in getting a job due to my weight problem. I was rejected four times and l really got offended. Weight and height matters to them, that it should be proportional. There came a point that l was debating with the interviewer, that l am not applying for a beauty pageant!

    I'm so sorry you experienced that kind of abuse, for so long. It's a tremendous credit to you that you were able to fight your way past the hurt that must have caused to make improvements to your life and health.

    You look amazing :)

    Thanks everyone! I am new here, just joined the app 5 days ago. I wonder why my post was incomplete after posting my story. Lol

    Anyways here is the continuation...

    Instead of feeling self-pity, l've accepted that as a challenge and got decided to go back to the gym. I was 240 lbs then and for the first 6 months straight, l have lost 40 lbs without eating rice and sweets. I couldn't afford to hire my own Personal Trainer. So what l did, l just kept an eye to those who has their own PT's and secretly perform their exercise programs the following day. And believe me, it works! Lol l am now down to size 30 jeans from size 44 and l look forward to lose 30 more lbs before the year ends. Btw, my cheater ex-boyfriend after seeing my transformation pictures on my Facebook page, he asked me to be his girlfriend again. I remember l replied, WHO ARE YOU? LOL

    You are lovely. Words of bullies can cut like a knife. It's a crime that people think it's acceptable to speak to another human being this way.
    Congrats on your transformation and getting healthier, but you were beautiful in your "before " pictures as well.

    You look great. Just remember even if we lose weight there are always going to be that 1 person that still talks *kitten* but just ignore them. Do you and be happy. You look amazing though. :)

    Hi there! :) Well, you are absolutely correct! And sadly to say l'm hearing those "mean words" from my relatives and some were used to be my friends. That my calves are still too big, and telling me that l really don't lose weight. But you know honestly, l also appreciate negative comments. Because it energizes me to move forward and focus my healthy lifestyle. Anyway, many thanks to you! :blush:
