A woman who struggled with her weight throughout her life turned to comfort eating when her classmates called her a “whale” in high school. Her weight eventually spiraled up to a staggering 260 pounds (approx. 118 kg).

However, after becoming a mother, she decided to lose weight, and since undergoing weight-loss surgery, she has shed almost half her weight.
