Since she started her weight loss journey last August, Simone Anderson went from weighing 372 pounds to 184, thanks to her incredible efforts to ditch junk food and determination to lead a healthier life.
Hoping to connect with others struggling with their weight, she created the Facebook page Simone's Journey To Health where she shared inspiring updates and pics on her Instagram. When she finally reached her weight loss goal of losing half of her body weight, Simone posted this incredible "before and after" composite to flaunt her new figure.
"I can't even begin to explain in words what this accomplishment feels like," Simone wrote beneath her photo. "With a lot of determination, will power, drive, motivation & compromise I have achieved my goal."
While most of the feedback on her photo was encouraging, many attacked her for sharing a "fake" story. According to Simone's post, she received numerous negative comments, ranging from people claiming her story wasn't real because none of her Insta pics showed stretch marks, to other even more ridiculous remarks like saying her ears "changed in appearance." So she uploaded a photo of her excess skin to shut the haters up once and for all.
"Throughout my whole journey I have tried to be so honest about the whole experience and tell people exactly as it's happened," Simone explained on her new post. "So to be called a fake hurt a lot. When it came to posting about my loose skin well that was equally tough. So here we go I hope this helps all the 'non believers'."
Take that, trolls.
