Pamela Doyle didn't have the healthiest eating habits, but she believed that she and her high school sweetheart were in love. But when it came time for what was supposed to be a fairy-tale wedding, the groom jilted her at the altar.
What made it worse was that the groom told her he left because she was too fat. Like Lisseth, who was cheated on because of her weight, Doyle was heartbroken.
“He proposed to me in 2009," Doyle said. "I was still about 17 stone [238 pounds] then and I made token efforts to control my weight. I’d go to one or two classes, lose a couple of stone and then give up."
But after she was dumped, Doyle knew she had to make a change in her life. She recommitted herself to making lifestyle changes, and the next time her ex-fiancé saw her, he was stunned
See Doyle's unbelievable transformation and inspirational story below…
Pamela Doyle didn't always look like the photo above. In fact, for years she struggled with her weight and appearance.
Doyle believed she had met a man who loved her. She was to be married to her longtime boyfriend at a fairy-tale wedding in a castle in Glasgow, Scotland.
But just before they could say "I do," the groom jilted her at the altar.
He said he was sick of her "weight issues," then called the marriage off. Doyle was devastated, but it was the jolt she needed to change her life.
“He ended the relationship because of my weight and the issues surrounding it," she said. "It was making him miserable. I was devastated, but it was just the thing I needed to spur me on to lose weight."
Doyle weighed 238 pounds. The constant judgment ravaged her confidence and made her afraid to leave home.
"I even did my shopping online because I couldn’t face people. Now I feel amazing," she said. "I have regained my confidence and I don’t think my ex could quite believe his eyes when he saw me.”
"My weight made me feel very depressed," Doyle said. "I was moody and when my boyfriend came back I would hide myself away and not come out of the bedroom. He kept on at me about eating healthily and he tried to help me but I was difficult to be with."
She admitted that she turned to comfort food, eating macaroni and cheese, Big Macs, and unhealthy snacks. But after the split, she hired a personal trainer to help her overcome her physical and mental health issues.
Pamela was able to drop her weight down to 147 pounds by changing her lifestyle.
Doyle doesn't blame her ex-fiancé for calling off the wedding — in fact, she says her ex is stunned by the transformation. She also hasn't ruled out getting back together with him.
