Kyla Cox, 32, pictured here before (right) and after her 30kg weightloss has revealed how she found herself after divorce Kyla, left, said she weighed 96kg at her heaviest and hated the ways she looked and felt 'I told myself it was no wonder he didn't want to be married to me anymore, that I wasn't pretty enough to be loved, I hated myself and I lost all my confidence.' Kyla didn't want to leave the house and hated her appearance so much it made going out too difficult - especially if she had to go shopping for an outfit. 'I was a size 20, the clothes were expensive and I hated them all because I hated how I looked in them, so I would only wear them once,' she said.

'The first two weeks were the hardest, I was starving,' she said. 'But it taught me how much pasta I can have, what it looks like on a plate, then my stomach shrunk and it was fine.' 'I don't miss out on any food now - I just know when to stop. I know I can have a few pieces of chocolate where before I would smash a whole block.' Kyla coupled the meal plan with some light exercise before eventually joining a 'crossfit mixed with F45' style gym. Kyla works out six times a week and says she gets excited to go and exercise now Kyla says she is happier than ever, has bought her own house and excelled at work This helped to keep her accountable and also increased her self confidence.
