However, after an incredible weight loss, the woman's addiction turned to something more expensive.

This is reported by the Daily Star.

A 32-year-old cosmetologist who suffered from obesity got rid of her food addiction, but transferred it to compulsive shopping for clothes.

In this way, Whitney spent a staggering $2,000.

in two months.

Pepper's heaviest weight was 136 kg.

The woman regularly consumed takeout and sugary foods.

Whitney kicked her overeating habit and lost 20% of her weight, but she had an unexpected side effect.

The woman said that she was "transferring" one addiction to another, and began shopping compulsively.

"For a while, I felt addicted to this transfer until I realized what I was doing. In two months, I spent about $2,000 on clothes, shoes, and accessories. I sold my old clothes that didn't fit me and I would donate the other ones." cosmetologist shared.

Whitney lost 27 kg by following a low-carb diet.

She also underwent a procedure in April 2022 in which 80% of the woman's stomach was removed.

"I lost 60 pounds in six months just by eating low-carb, and at that point I proved to myself that I was in it for the long haul. I knew that if I continued on this path, I was going to have bigger problems. I had their stomach removed to control portions," Pepper said. 

After the operation, she lost another 6 kg and started training five days a week.

"I ate everything with protein, lots of grilled chicken, fish, shrimp and steaks. Lots of green vegetables and protein shakes throughout the day. I completely lost all the weight I wanted, now I'm working out to maintain the weight loss," she said. Whitney

Before losing weight, she wore size XXXL and pants size 24 to 26 (US measurements).

Now the woman wears US size two pants, and she wears something between extra small and just small on top.

Although Whitney feels an overwhelming desire to lose weight, she still has days when she lacks the willpower.

"Some days you wake up and you don't have that fire for weight loss. If you stick with it long enough and take pictures once a week, you'll have something to look back on because the scale doesn't reflect your hard work," Pepper said.

We will remind you that in order to lose weight quickly without diets, a resident of Great Britain decided on a cheap operation in Turkey to reduce the stomach.

Later, the woman was diagnosed with a complex infection that turned her internal organs into "concrete".
