A woman underwent a massive transformation after her toxic relationship ended and she now plans to bein a beauty pageant.
Alida Elizabeth Dreyer has suffered a number of issues, including bullying at school, PCOS and a toxic relationship that shattered her self esteem.
Alida, who lives in Sydney, Australia, but is originally from South Africa, said she was bullied over her weight from a very young age and began to skip school as her mental health deteriorated.
She would self-harm and suffered from suicidal thoughts for years before being diagnosed with depression at the age of 12, she told Jam Press.
She said she gained weight steadily overages 6 to 23. She later discovered she was suffering from polycystic ovary syndrome after struggling to conceive with her then-boyfriend.
She said the relationship was "extremely unhealthy" and she eventually left him.
Alida has now transformed her life and shed 12 stone and the weight loss helped her regain her confidence.
