Victim of Bullying (Before and After Pictures)

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!

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? LOL0 -

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.0 -
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. 0

You were so beautiful before and just as beautiful now. You had to be strong when you had those hurtful comments thrown your way and I hope you're even stronger now! Those excuses for human beings are no longer worth your time or worries. Enjoy every moment your healthier life brings. ❤0

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!

First things first, you look stunning!! Your story hit so close to home on so many levels. I, too, was that "fat girl" that was bullied in school and by my own family. It took its toll on me and I ended up with an eating disorder and dropped 50 lbs in 4 months and was so sick...but I thought I looked great!! That was 30 years ago, I put on 25 lbs over the years and just joined a few weeks ago. Congratulations to you and I hope you feel as beautiful and happy on the inside as you appear on the outside! ☺0

I'm so sorry that you were bullied like that. Sometimes human beings really do suck but I have to say that you are absolutely stunning. Good for you0

You are a strong, gorgeous woman! Good on you for doing this for yourself. I feel your pain on the bullying. I'm 46 and I still have a hard time being in public and dealing with feeling of being "inferior" somehow because of my weight, thanks to all the bullying I endured in school and beyond. You've risen above it. You've worked hard and earned a HUGE pat on the back!0

What a great story and lovely transformation! You go, girl!0

You're so beautiful! I'm sorry you had to experience that kind of abuse for so long. Keep going, do this for you! We're all behind you. You look awesome!0
