Ashley is a young woman from North Dakota. She once weighed 130 kg, but she managed to cope with excess weight on her own, regaining health and beauty. Only Ashley could not develop a new style for herself on her own, therefore she came to the professionals from the Rachel Ray program.
Food is the best friend and savior
Ashley has always been fat as long as she can remember. Already in the photographs of her earliest childhood, she was plump. She doesn't remember how it started or why, but she does remember that food has always been her best friend. She ate at any emotion that arose, seized both sadness and joy, so it doesn't matter if she was happy or upset, she ate, ate, ate all the time and could not stop.
Is it really me?
The turning point in Ashley's story was one evening. Her grandmother once brought the photographs she had just shown to show her family. On them, a 19-year-old girl saw herself from the side, and she suddenly seemed to be pierced by lightning. For the first time she saw firsthand what she had become. Then she was frightened for the first time, realizing that she might simply not live up to her 30th birthday if she continued in the same spirit.
Everything is possible
To lose weight, she first decided to ask professionals for help. Ashley, like many Americans, signed up for a weight loss program, whose specialists helped her create a new diet. She had to eat "clean food" without fast food and control portion sizes. After holding out on the new diet for a week, Ashley lost 6 kg, and was already delighted with this.
Inspirational Results
The girl realized that she could do this, that if you adhere to certain rules, then nothing is impossible - she will lose weight and take on new forms! Then she got down to business herself, completely restructuring her diet and including regular physical activity at home. Over time, Ashley lost 65 kg, which is exactly half of her original weight.
New femininity
She successfully maintains slimness, but she was worried about the question of style. Ashley has a family, a husband and two children, so she tries to be active, but rather practical in clothes. She wore glasses, a bob cut with bangs, as well as jeans, shirts, plain T-shirts and T-shirts.
Her style of dress was rather boyish, but she really wanted femininity and grace, to which she simply did not know how to approach. Moreover, she immediately decided that as soon as she lost weight to the size she needed, she would certainly go to stylists for a complete transformation of her image.
The stylists of the Rachel Ray program gave her a very short haircut, which can be no less feminine than long hair or a bob-bob haircut.
Red dress and glitter accessories
She was wearing a dazzling red dress with flared sleeves to the elbow. The minimalist style of the dress was complemented with shiny accessories: thin graceful sandals, a bracelet and pendant earrings with tassels-chains, as well as a flat envelope clutch.
Despite the fact that the transformation was not dramatic, Ashley was happy. After the transfer, she became the heroine of the issue of People magazine, which is dedicated to the fate of people who have lost weight who have lost half of their weight.
And a few months after the transformation, Ashley was like this on the show.
