Woman accused of faking weight loss shames haters

Simone Anderson weighed 169 kilograms at age 23, and seeing as she wasn’t living her life to the fullest, decided to embark on a weight loss journey, Mashable reported. "I was living a half life. I was constantly lying to myself that [my weight] wasn't stopping me from doing anything. I was turning down so many opportunities and day-to-day things, like walking on the beach with my friends,” she told the publication.

In order to motivate herself, she decided to put her journey on her Instagram.

"I started the page only for me. It was my little space to keep myself accountable. I never expected it to grow into what it has, now opening [me] up to a whole world of judgements and opinions — I find that really hard," she told Mashable.

With the internet being so cruel, Anderson was accused of faking her weight loss after she shared a picture showing her before and after pictures - an experience which she says tore down her hard work. "For me it was tearing down my hard work, and I had worked so hard for it ... most of the comments was stuff like 'oh she doesn't have the same hair colour, so it can't be the same girl”. It was really base level comments like that," she told the publication. 

In order to prove that it was really her, she shared another picture revealing images of the excess skin gathered around her torso.
