Obesity is a burning problem in today’s world. Being oversized has many disadvantages, and people who have become the victim of it want to lose their weight and get back to their slim figure.

Similarly, Model Rosie Mercado faced this problem too. But she’s done it! Yes, she has shed a lot of fats and has now got a slim figure. So how did this happen? Let’s uncover her story on weight loss.

Root Reasons Behind Her Obesity

In the first place, the question arises why did Rosie gain so much weight? It's because of the quiet times and circumstances that she had to face in her life. First of all, she had to deal with the separation part of her marriage and secondly, her son was diagnosed with mild cerebral palsy. Here is what she has to say about it in her words,

“I hit rock bottom about eight years ago, and started gaining a lot of weight. My son was diagnosed with mild cerebral palsy, my marriage fell apart. Everything that could possibly happen happened.”

Amidst the problems of her life, she didn’t pay much attention to her increasing weight. In fact, she let herself be fatter.

Trigger Factor For Rosie To Lose Unnecessary Fat

Rosie once weighed 410 pounds, but after taking her weight issue seriously, she proved it right that once you are determined about something, difficult tasks are also possible to overcome and get the success where she was successful to shed 250 pounds!

The motivational factor for this to happen was one embarrassing incident that she had to face due to her heavyweight. It was when a flight attended told her to buy an extra plane seat. She said that,

“They were really rude. They announced it in front of everyone that I needed to buy an additional ticket. That was an ‘aha’ moment for me – either I choose to continue living this lifestyle, or I make a wise decision and take responsibility for my life.”

Then, she took a low carbohydrate and low dairy food and also did a workout for six days a week. She kept her persistence all along the way and thus finally got what she wanted. However, that did not stop her from getting criticized; she was battered with hateful comments saying; she did it just for her career.

People who were against her weight loss told to jump off a bridge and kill herself. She hasn’t taken those negative remarks too much into her heart. She responded to those haters as,

“I got hate mail ... Not so much from the other models, just fans that hated on me. You’ve just got to let it go and not pay attention to the negative remarks.”

She further added:

'Diet for me really equaled a lifestyle change, it equaled freedom, it didn't equal a size. It equaled to having freedom of choice, getting on a roller coaster, going zip lining and just having fun."

Rosie had to go through a complicated process to get the right size, and now she reminisces her oversized period as a learning chance.

She said it taught her to be 'humble, how to treat people, never judge a book by its cover.'
