Girl Loses 140 Pounds After Being Turned Down by College Crush, Then Gets Even With Him Perfectly

Doing it for herself

After being rejected by her college crush, one woman decided to radically change her life. But she didn’t just do it for him. After struggling with her weight for much of her youth, she decided it was time to change her self-destructive ways. She knew that she needed to slim down; she knew that she had to take care of her body; and she knew that she wouldn’t be happy until she could look in the mirror and be proud of her achievement. What would her crush think then?

The woman in questionE

Her story has been shared by thousands of people across the globe, and she has inspired even more with her transformation and her determination to not only change her appearance but to embark upon a journey of self discovery and love. Say hello to Rachael Heffner!

Weighing in on her size

At her heavies pointt, Rachael weighed in at 285lbs. Although she knew that she was heavier than most, she didn’t see her weight as a particularly pressing issue. After all, she had been that way for most of her life. It wasn’t until her former crush brutally rejected her that she decided to undergo this self transformation – and what a transformation it turned out to be!

Growing up

From an early age, Rachael had always been a little heavier. She has since noted that she was “chubby” and her full-time working parents normally just allowed her to eat whatever she wanted when they were both at work. She soon piled on the pounds – but things went from bad to worse when her mother was diagnosed with systemic mastocytosis. Her mother’s health rapidly began to deteriorate, and she sadly passed away when Rachael was just 7 years old. She had lost her mother and her best friend at a tender and impressionable age.
