A formerly obese woman from California has recorded her stunning transformation from fat to fit. The Mexican-food lover lost nearly 50 kilograms in one year, the inspiration for which kicked off when a little six-year-old girl mistakenly thought that she was having a baby.

Me and my boyfriend were coming back from Disney land, while talking to a little girl on the train, she asked her mum if I was going to have baby because my stomach’s so big. When I heard her say that my face dropped, she had no intention of hurting me, she was a little girl who was completely unaware that what she said destroyed me. I started crying, I’d never experienced that before and I never wanted to or would feel like that again.

It was after this embarrassing incident that she decided to adopt a massively different lifestyle. She hit the gym every day for an hour and switched her massive meals for multiple small portions – totalling 1400 calories a day.

To keep herself on track, Erika recorded a series of videos to reiterate why she decided to lose weight throughout her journey.
