Just five years ago, Amber Rushdie, 28, weighed 300 kg and had to abandon her studies because she could no longer perform basic daily activities. Amber couldn’t shower alone and rarely left the house. At that time, only her friend Rudy believed in her, while her other friends were convinced she had no chance of leading a normal life. Doctors told Amber after an examination that she might not live past 30 if she continued with such a lifestyle.
That’s why Rushdie turned to the popular show My 300-lb Life, which helps people combat excessive weight. There, she received assistance with a diet and also underwent surgery to reduce the size of her stomach. A year after the surgery, Amber was able to shed an additional 65 kg.
But then another issue arose: loose skin. Another surgery was necessary. After the operations, the young woman continued to lead a healthy lifestyle and gradually lost more weight. As a result, she lost over 400 pounds in just a few years, graduated from university, and found a job she loved. However, her partner left her—he couldn’t accept that Amber no longer needed constant help and attention.
He also couldn’t handle the competition from other men. This girl proved to each of us that everything is in our hands and that you can and should change your life for the better at any time!
