Obese 16st woman fat-shamed by her drunk husband loses nearly 7st to get the best revenge body ever

A WOMAN who piled on the pounds after being fat-shamed by her now ex-husband when he was drunk shed more than six-and-a-half-stone to achieve the perfect revenge body.

Kennel supervisor Hayley Bienert, 27, from California described herself as always being a "little bit chubby" and struggled in a toxic relationship with her ex-husband who would constantly put her down.

This destructive cycle drove Hayley to binge eat and causing her to balloon to 16st 3lbs and a size 18-20.

Before her dramatic weight loss Hayley would eat a foot-long Subway sandwiches, bag of crisps and four cookies just for lunch, all washed down with fizzy drinks.

Hayley said: "I have always been a little bit chubby, and when my ex and I got married we partied a lot and ate horribly.

“I had gained more weight and he didn't like it. One night he had been drinking and he told me in so many words that I was fat and he wasn't attracted to me anymore.

“When I heard that, it was like a switch had gone off in my brain, I never saw my body the same way after that. I felt inferior, I felt ugly and I felt unworthy.

"So I ate. I binge ate until I ballooned to more than sixteen-stone.

"After I had grown the mental strength leave my ex, I realised that I needed to change something in my life.

"I couldn't change my overall current situation, but I knew I had total control over my body and my health.

"For so long, I had felt as though I didn't have an identity, that my body fat percentage was my identity, that that is all people ever saw, including my ex.

"So I cut my hair, dyed it red and purchased the a beach body workout programme and in three months I lost more than three-stone."

Before losing the weight, Hayley never exercised but now she hits the gym between five to six times a week.

Despite her new healthy regime, she still allows herself an occasional treat of ice cream or diet coke.

Hayley said: “I would say that the hardest part of losing weight, for me, was eating healthy. I was always triggered by fast food signs and sugary food at the grocery store.

“As you travel down the road of weight loss, sometimes the foods you shouldn't eat sound better than the foods you should.

“Overall, I just moved my body. I think people get overwhelmed with weight loss because they think that they have to hit the ground running.

“I think people think that they need to have a rigid workout routine and eat salads all day and it's not like that at all.

"If you are mostly sedentary then plan to go for a brisk thirty-minute walk four days a week and focus on eating healthy foods.

“Slowly push out the foods you know are not helping your weight loss and replace them with wholesome foods that will make you feel good.”

Hayley has swapped junk and sugar for meals packed with lean turkey, chicken, fish and vegetables. She is now a super fit 10st 5lbs and a UK size 8-10.

She is now more confident than ever and is currently working towards becoming a certified personal trainer specialising in women’s weight loss, she hopes she can inspire others.

She said: "I love myself, but I had to learn that through accepting what happened to me, where my body was and is and will be in the future.

"Accepting the now is the most important thing you can do when working a better you.

“I've been told that I have been inspirational in the start of other people’s weight loss journeys. People who haven't seen me in a while are shocked and that’s a good feeling.

“Just start with your grocery list but don't stress over it. You don't want to get sucked into all of the fad diets and mumbo jumbo the health industry tries to sell you these days.

“It's not something you can keep doing for the rest of your life. Just focus on weeding out the bad foods in your diet, and replacing them with things you know are good for you.”

This obese woman was shamed into losing weight by her college crush but then underwent an incredible transformation…and he wants to date her now.

While this woman claimed being called "fat" by an ex gave her the inspiration to lose a staggering 10 STONE.
