From Being Called “Ugly and Fat”, a Woman Transformed Her Life 360° as She “Didn’t Want to Die”

In a world with increasing vulnerability to catching diseases, obesity is like a catalyst. Being overweight can have significant adverse effects. Jessica Fauve, who weighed more than 300 lbs in 2019, has cut 200 lbs of her weight with lifestyle modification and training in two years. Moreover, she didn’t just stop at being fit. Fauver began competing in bodybuilding competitions.

In an interview in 2022 with Bodybuilding.com, Fauver first revealed her journey to being obese. Furthermore, she disclosed how she came back from there to compete on stage. Let us find out more about Fauver while going through this article.

Jessica Fauver’s journey and pain of being obese

Jessica Fauver grew up in poverty, and as a comfortable, cheaper, and available source, she used to eat fast and fatty food from her childhood. Later, she graduated and became a nurse, but continued her fast food eating, as it became a habit. Moreover, the irregular shifts of nurses made it more convenient for her to have snacks and fast food during 16 hours long working shifts.

However, her body began to give her answers as she had concurrent back pain, neck pain, and other issues. And as she got into her 30s, she weighed 354 lbs. It was getting tougher with the weight she kept gaining. She was told by many that she was “ugly and fat.” The situation came to an extent where she knew, “if I didn’t change my ways I was going to die. I didn’t want to die.”

And then began her battle with her weight and everyone who bullied her throughout her life. Moving on, let’s have a look at how she changed her life through her hard work and how she began competing on stage.

From 300lbs+ to bodybuilding competitions

The journey of her transformation began with an online bet. She put a ‘diet bet’ of $30, where her task was to lose four percent of her weight in four weeks. And to attain her target, she joined a boot camp gym, and that was the turning point of her life. She fell in love with the workouts and lost 15 lbs in one month. Fauver never looked back. She continued working out, made lifestyle modifications, and gradually, with all the hard work, the weight started to come down.

When BBCOM asked her about how she got into competing on stage? Although she never imagined she could compete in bodybuilding, yet again, she took another challenge and went for it. She replied, “I found a $30 bikini, I bedazzled it, and I stepped onstage. Instantly, I was like, “Who is this woman? I love her!” I don’t know, it just did something to me. It brought something out of me that needed to come out.”

The journey of Jessica Fauver has been incredible. From being in a terrible position in her life, she is now an inspiration to thousands of people who follow her journey. What do you think about this marvelous feat of this incredible transformation? Let us know in the comments section.
