Every year, I promise myself that I will achieve my optimal weight, but soon enough, Cheetos, soft drinks, and late-night Netflix binges worm their way back in. Losing weight takes serious dedication, perseverance, and above all, time. It's not something that happens overnight, especially when you're talking about dropping as much as 145 pounds.

Once when she was playing volleyball she had to put up with mortifying abuse as onlookers screamed at her to stop playing because of her siz.

#3 I was referred to as ‘the fat girl’ all the time
but the worst moment happened during a volleyball match, when I was hurled abuse at because of the outfit I was wearing.
"A bunch of guys yelled that I should get my ‘fat ass off the court' and crazy stuff, it got so bad they had to be escorted away by the police.
"In another incident, one guy asked me why my legs were so big and another classic quote I regularly received was that I had ‘such a pretty face for a fat girl'."
#4 Emma has completely changed her look by working out four days a week and eating healthier food
Eventually Emma decided to make a change.
She started working out four days a week, cut out carbs and reduced the size of her portions.
She lost 10st, but even better Emma had the joy of TURNING DOWN the men who'd previously bullied her when they hit on her.

#5 Exercising has transformed Emma’s body, and now people at school ask her for diet tips
"Even after losing 60lb at the beginning of my weight loss guys treated me completely differently, it was unreal," she said.
"I've had messages from guys telling me how sorry they are for what they said to me, it really shocks them to see me now.
"I don't think they expected me to turn out this way and they regret being so horrible.

#6 The sweetest bit has been turning down her old bullies when they hit on her
"I doubt they are apologising out the kindness of their heart, there's definitely an ulterior motive so with any attempts to flirt with me I reject them immediately.
"It's quite offensive that it took me losing weight for them to even consider speaking to me.
"I've had plenty of apology messages now, even one of the girls who used to call me fat got in touch wanting advice on how to lose weight.
