Woman’s epic revenge bod after fat-shaming ex

They’re the person who is meant to love every single inch of you, so when Hayley Bienert’s husband bluntly told her he wasn’t attracted to her bigger shape, it was utterly devastating.

The 27-year-old Californian admits she had always been a “bit chubby” but a bad diet and too much partying saw her body change.

“I had gained more weight and he didn't like it. One night he had been drinking and he told me in so many words that I was fat and he wasn't attracted to me anymore,” Hayley told The Sun.

“When I heard that, it was like a switch had gone off in my brain, I never saw my body the same way after that. I felt inferior, I felt ugly and I felt unworthy."

Hayley’s self-esteem took a huge hit, and she fell into a trap of binge eating that saw her weigh 108 kilos at her heaviest in 2012.

Chowing down a foot-long Subway sandwich, chips and cookies along with soft drink for lunch was normal for Hayley.

“I was in a toxic relationship and I consumed copious amounts of processed garbage to take me briefly away from the pain I felt while in the relationship,” Hayley revealed to her Instagram followers.

“I ate to feel something other than worthless, but immediately after, I would feel even more worthless than before.”

Hayley soon mustered up the courage to leave her fat-shaming ex, and bought a beach workout program that saw her shed nearly 20 kilos in three months.

She went from avoiding the gym to doing up to six sessions a week, and focusing on a healthy diet.

Now weighing a slender 41 kilos and going from a size 20 to a size 6, Hayley admits it hasn't been easy.

“I'm constantly fighting off triggers such as smells and fast food signs,” she wrote on Instagram. “The desire to eat is still the same, but over the years I have developed mental grit to cope with the cravings.”

Hayley’s love life also had a make over, with the aspiring personal trainer getting engaged in 2015 and married soon after.

“This man is my numero uno supporter in everything that I do to better myself,” she captioned a couple snap. “He is right there with me. If you are taking on change in your life, or you're wanting to better yourself, or both, just make sure you have support.”
