And the guy was even cheating on her.
Betsy Ayala said that she had struggled with her weight for years and that, at her heaviest, she weighed around 118 kilos. While she was trying to feel better about herself, she discovered something that ultimately shattered the relationship: her husband was not only cheating on her, he was also making fun of her body behind her back and calling her “cow” in messages with other people.
That blow was the breaking point. Betsy decided to change her habits, began exercising, and changed her diet until she lost nearly 46 kilos.
But the most important change was not just physical. She also decided to end the marriage and distance herself from a relationship that, as she explained, had severely damaged her self-esteem.
She did end up losing weight, yes, but she also removed from her life someone who made her feel worse about herself.
