"I was the girl my ex didn't want … so I became the girl he couldn't have."
You're about to meet a woman named Josie who says she was always the overweight one at school, among her group of friends, and at work. She grew up never having a date to the school dances, always being judged, and feeling like she didn't even exist.
In January 2018, Josie's life took a dramatic turn when her boyfriend dumped her just a few days after the new year. She weighed 300 pounds and says he left her because of her size.
Instead of letting the breakup defeat her, Josie reached a turning point. She wanted to show her ex what he'd be missing — so she signed up for the gym, learned how to exercise and eat properly, and gained a level of confidence that she'd never had before.
She lost 140 pounds due to her lifestyle changes. Now Josie has a totally new lease on life. She doesn't need a man to make her happy, either. She has confidence and acceptance all on her own.
