一位女子由于不好意思主动向前男友提出分手，增肥了3英石（约19公斤），好让男友主动开口断绝两人的关系。现在她再次减肥，她合身的裙子已经小了10个尺码。

 

Louise McElhinney purposefully piled on weight to try and force her 'controlling' former partner to break-up with her. 

路易丝·麦克尔希尼故意让自己暴增肥，以逼迫自己的“控制狂”前男友跟她分手。

 

But after having to end the relationship herself, the woman from Wembley, London, ballooned to 18st after finding comfort in junk food.

但当她苦心经营的分手计划成功之后，这位来自伦敦文布利的姑娘又开始靠垃圾食品来消除分手后的苦闷，最终体重暴增到了18英石（约119公斤）。

 

Now, the 37-year-old has gone from a size 22 to 12 after dropping eight stone.

如今这位37岁的姑娘又减掉了8英石（约49公斤），衣服尺码也从22号变小到了12号。

谈到自己的暴增肥，她说：“年轻的时候我一向十分苗条，充满快乐，衣服尺码保持在10号到12号之间。我曾经充满自信——总是个跳到舞池中开始跳舞的人。”

 

'But the person I was had disappeared and lived in a bubble. I was not the person I used to be.'

“增肥之后，过去的那个我消失了。我成了一个肉球。我再也不是从前的那个我了。”

 

After following the notoriously tough Cambridge Weight Plan, Louise soon started to see a difference and found motivation in the results.

“自从我减肥成功之后，我又有了自信，回到了过去常去的主题公园，玩遍各种游乐设施。”

 

'It sounds cheesy. but if I can do it and lose the weight, then anyone can.'

“这听起来有点俗气，但是如果我能做得到，任何人都可以。”
