Kiera Sanders has dealt with bullying because of her weight her entire life. Cruel bullies at school would put fishhooks in her book bag so that when she would try to take them out, her hands would bleed. The tormenting took a toll on Kiera's self-esteem, who would eventually be homeschooled to get away from the pain. Then, when she was 19, she met Glen. He was a man that saw her beauty inside and out. She thought it was a joke, a trick, that someone like him could fall in love with her.
"No way. It was too hard to believe… This guy wants to talk to me, he wants to know me. Was it a joke? It was too good to be true," she told Today Tonight. The couple from Australia got married three years later, and had their daughter, Tilly. After becoming a mom, Kiera's weight continued to go up. Eventually she would weigh 120.5 kgs, or 266 pounds. When Glen, who is in the army, was deployed, she decided to do something about her weight during the five months he was gone.
She didn't go on a diet, Kiera instead just cut out the processed foods and ate healthier. She lost 30 kgs, the equivalent of 66 pounds. She went from a size 22 to a size 14. Glen can't believe his eyes when she shocks him at the airport. He sees the transformation in her body, but in her personality too!
"Her confidence is amazing, she's just bursting out of herself," Glen says with a big smile.
