They say that you should find a man who can accept you for who you are. But how can you be so sure that he will stick with you to the end even if you change physically? What if you gain weight? Will he still love you as strongly as how he adores you now?

Josie, 29, got dumped by the love of her life in January 2018. When he left her, she almost thought that her life was over. You see, Josie and her boyfriend had been together for a long time. But her weight started to become a problem for him. She had always been a heavyweight but when she tipped 300 pounds, he suddenly decided that he didn’t want her anymore.

But Josie did not let this ruin her. Instead, she decided to hire a personal trainer and work on losing some weight!

Josie has shed more than half of her body weight. And for the first time in her life and with no hesitation, she proudly shows off her hard-earned body in a bikini.

In an interview with “Truly,” Josie said, “I was the girl that my ex didn’t want, so I became the girl he couldn’t have.” At the end of the interview, she proudly models a two-piece swimsuit and proves to her ex-boyfriend that he was wrong for letting her go.

Throughout her life, Josie said that she struggled to maintain a healthy weight. Because of this she always felt invisible. But that didn’t matter before because she has a boyfriend who loved her. However, when her boyfriend dumped her because of how she looked, that’s when she hit rock bottom.

But instead of drowning in her tears, she decided to step up.

“I’ve always been overweight. I was always the fat kid in school. I was always the fat friend. I was never asked out to a school dance… I didn’t exist.”

She said that when she weighed 300 pounds, she had given up. She lost all the drive to maintain a healthy weight. She admitted that she allowed herself to eat whatever she wanted and whenever she wanted it. That time, nothing was off-limits.

Josie worked hard to prove to her ex-boyfriend that she was not a mistake. She shared, “Everything changed after my breakup. I was in a three-year relationship. He left me two days after New Year’s, and something in me said, “Let it go.” That was definitely my turning point.”

Her weight loss journey was not easy. Hitting the gym for the first time was very difficult for her. She felt “lost” and “scared.” This is when she decided to seek professional help. She said, “I got a personal trainer who taught me how to eat, how to work out, and it was history from there.”

Boy was she glad she sought help. She said, “I’ve lost over 140 pounds within the last three years.”

Josie finally feels good enough about the way she looks. She was confident with her body that she was willing to model a two-piece bikini in front of the camera for the documentary. And this was a huge step for her.

She added, “If I had the old me in front of me, I would just tell her it will all be OK. That’s all. My weight loss journey started as a revenge body to get back at my ex, but along the way, I realized it was not about him. It was about me.”

Josie has lost 140 pounds since she started her weight loss journey and nobody can’t believe her total transformation!
