A woman who was bullied for being ‘the fat one’ where she worked has transformed herself by losing seven and a half stone. Leah Taylor said she had to quit her job in cleaning and security at an airport because of the comments.
She said that the impact of someone referring to her as ‘the fat one’ really played on her mind and led to feelings of anxiety about what people might be saying about her. She gained a lot of weight during the pandemic lockdowns, hitting 17.5 stones.
Leah, from the Vale of Glamorgan, started a meal replacement plan with diet firm Exante in October 2021, dropping from 17st 7lbs to 10st today. She managed the incredible change through stopping fizzy suger-filled drinks and ate a lot less at each meal, Walesonline reports.
