It's really heartbreaking when you find out that your husband or lover has an affair with another woman.
However, what's really heart breaking is when your lover makes you believe that he loves the way you look and then you discover that he has been calling you a 'fat f**k' on social media.
This is what happened to 34 years old, Betsy Ayala who used to weigh 262 lbs (118.841 kg). She gained so much weight last 2013 after giving birth to her daughter Isabella.
"After I had my first daughter I was the heaviest I had ever been. My 14 year relationship was very strained and I was in a very severe postpartum depression and anxiety. I couldn't sleep and I had no desire to function at all but I had a newborn so it was a very difficult time," Betsy told DailyMail.
Life has not been easy for Betsy as she struggled with anxiety when she was 13 and at a young age, she went on her first diet.
"I had pretty much had weight issues my whole life. I was always the chubby kid, I never played sports or wanted to take in physical activity because I was overweight. I did get bullied in school and got picked on. I think for me eating was like self-medication," Ayala said.
"I have anxiety and instead of dealing with the real source of my anxiety, I would eat and then that would become the source of my anxiety and I would eat and then that would be the source of my anxiety and I would eat some more and it was just a vicious cycle," she added.
After six months, a certain marketing manager found out that Betsy's former husband was having an affair and discovered messages that attacked her weight.
The single mother knew that she has to do something about her situation, so she worked out with her sister six times a week and started to make healthy shakes.
According to Betsy, what her husband did was a blessing in disguise because it helped her have a fresh start.
"I didn't know what to do with myself at the time. I was still over 200lbs with a 6-month-old and everything that I had worked for had just vanished," she said.
"Now I honestly feel that what he did was a blessing because otherwise I would have been the way I was forever. I prayed [at] the time for my life to change and my prayers were answered just maybe not in the way I envisioned but I got a second shot at a fresh start and I'm grateful for that. It changed everything in my life," she added.
After working out and drinking Herbalife shakes, the Betsy today is far from what she was. She is now completely changed and today, she's living happier and healthier life.
"I'm a completely different person both on the side and outside because of my outlook on everything. I was always very negative and had a chip on my shoulder because I was unhappy with me. I'm happier, I'm confident and most of all I'm positive. I know that I'm capable of so much and I'm so happy to set a good example for my daughter which is extremely important to me," she said.
On the other hand, Betsy and her former husband are now best friends and they're both raising their daughter together.
