It's an awful feeling to be unhappy with the way you look. You have to see yourself in the mirror every morning, and if that makes you sad, then you'll carry that sadness into the rest of your day. This beautiful young woman was so tired of feeling ugly that she just wanted to run away and hide. In a way, that's exactly what she did - and it made her feel a lot better about herself!
Dieting is one way to lose weight, but exercise is just as important. She took up running - and she quickly fell in love with it. The further and faster she ran, the more her weight dropped away. That made her want to carry on going, so she pushed herself harder and harder. Now, she's in incredible shape and says she can run marathons - although apparently, her boyfriend can't keep up!
