Agent Tells Woman She’s ‘Too Big’ For Health Insurance, So She Drops Half Her Size

When she was younger, Brittany Horton always had a problem with her weight. She remembered dieting when she was in the first grade, but her weight climbed throughout high school. She started losing some in college, but it all came back — and more.

In 2012, Brittany had surgery. The hospital weighed her in at 346 pounds.

Months later, she tried applying for health insurance, but the agent took one look at her and told her that she was "too big" to qualify for it. Brittany returned to her car in tears. She decided then and there to make a change. She bought herself fruits and vegetables, as well as a new scale. When she stepped on it, she weighed 386 pounds; in a matter of months, she had put on 40 pounds.

It's been a few years since that incident, and by changing just a few of her habits, Brittany has made a stunning change!
