Her Husband Is Having An Affair And Calling Her Terrible Names Because Of Her Weight. This Motivates Her To Lose 100 Pounds. See What She Looks Like Now.

34-year-old Betsy Ayala has struggled with her weight for her entire life. “I was always the chubby kid,” she recalled, “I never played sports or wanted to take in physical activity because I was overweight.”

The bullying and taunts didn’t improve over time, which only prompted Ayala to indulge in food as “self-medication.”

“I have anxiety and instead of dealing with the real source of my anxiety I would eat and then that would become the source of my anxiety and I would eat some more and it was just a vicious cycle,” she confessed.

In college, she hit 210 pounds.

By the time she gave birth to her daughter six months ago, Ayala weighed 262 pounds. The combination of Ayala’s postpartum depression, anxiety, strain in her relationship with her husband, as well as the need to take care of her newborn daughter was more than enough encouragement to get Ayala on a weight loss journey.

About 60 pounds into her weight loss, Ayala made a heartbreaking discovery.

Her husband had been cheating on her with a co-worker. She found the Facebook messages he had been sending to the other woman and read all the terrible names he’d called her, including “cow” and “fat f***.”

“I was devastated,” Ayala said, “my whole world fell apart. He would always tell me I looked fine or would try to get me to eat junk all the time which is why I was so devastated when I read those messages because it was almost like he enabled me or wanted me to stay that way.”

The two got a divorce soon after Ayala learned about her husband’s affair, and she immediately kicked into high gear for her weight loss. She began to dance and participate in Zumba classes three times a week with her sister and gradually started lifting weights at the gym and altering her diet.

Now, Ayala’s daughter, Isabelle, is three years old and Ayala weighs just 159 pounds.

“I'm happier, I'm confident and most of all I'm positive,” she said of her new body. “I know that I'm capable of so much and I'm so happy to set a good example for my daughter which is extremely important for me.”
