She was named as the fattest woman and she was really driven to make a change

A 1000 lbs woman from Texas named Mayra Rosales had given up on her life because of her weight. 

But in 2011, she decided to turn her life around and lose hundreds of pounds. 

She already had 11 surgeries, including a lap band surgery and extra skin removal procedures.  

She was really driven to make a change and she started by changing the way she thought about food. 

'Food to me is I have to eat to live,' she said. 'Before it was living to eat, and now you know, it's just something normal.'

Moreover, Dr. Younan Nowzaradan, a surgeon of Houston, was the one who saw how Mayra was serious about changing her life. Many claim that it was he who helped her become the woman she is today. 

Now, Mayra has her own Facebook page and continues to be an inspiration to all her followers and supporters.
