323-Pound Woman Sobbed When She Couldn’t Fit Into a Dress For a Wedding. But Then, She Cut Out One Thing And Lost 150 Pounds

By Jaclyn Anglis Updated: October 5, 2016

Imgur user theblankthought was 323 pounds. But she didn’t realize how out of hand her weight had gotten until 2014, when she needed to buy a new dress to attend a wedding.

“I remember going into the dressing rooms and crying.. Unable to fit into one of the largest dress sizes they had,” she wrote in an Imgur post. “It was at that moment I said enough was enough.”

She said goodbye to her beloved pizza and other pre-made or processed foods–and subbed in real vegetables, fruits, and protein in her diet. She also began exercising daily with fun workouts like Wii fitness and Zumba cardio. Then, the weight began to melt away.

After a year and 8 months, she had lost a whopping 150 pounds. And boy, does it show!
