EXCLUSIVE: **NO NEW YORK POST OR NEWS CORP USAGES** Story from Jam Press (Weight Loss) Pictured: Tori Scott before and after losing weight. Teacher who used fast food like a 'coping mechanism' reveals how she lost 155 POUNDS ??" going from size 22 to size 6 in just two years A woman has revealed how she lost 155 pounds in just 24 months after years of emotional eating led her to gain weight. When Tori Scott, 27, from Houston, Texas, US, tipped the scales at 303 pounds in 2017, it became a turning point in her life ??" as she realised what years of bad eating habits had done to her body. The secondary school English teacher was "too ashamed" to go out in public and didn't like eating with others for fears that she would be "judged". Tori's diet mostly consisted of carb-loaded takeaways like pizza, pasta, burgers and fries ??"??and she rarely cooked at home. ??sFrom a young age, I used food as a coping mechanism,??? Tori told Jam Press. ??sRegardless of the emotions that I felt, food always helped. "It was a never-ending cycle of being frustrated at the way I looked, eating to deal with that frustration, then setting goals to lose weight. ??sIt always ended up being the same result. I tried every fad diet under the sun and every time I???d stop a particular diet, I???d end up gaining all of my weight back and then some more on top. ??sI would eat a lot in private because I didn???t want to be judged about what I was eating.??? At her heaviest, Tori was too embarrassed to go out in public and spent most of her days isolated in her home. It was then that she made the decision to undergo weight loss surgery and flew to Mexico to have a gastric sleeve fitted. The teacher decided to have the surgery done in Tijuana because it was more cost-effective at $4,700 (?L3,330), when compared to the US. While Tori says she wasn't scared or apprehensive about the operation, she was thankful to have her partner at the time, unnamed, go with her. The surgery saw doctors cut out 80% of Tori's stomach and leave the remaining 20%. She said: ??sI felt like the person I was on the inside didn???t match the person everyone else saw. ??sI would try to make myself go do things but I just counted down the minutes until I could go back home. ??sI had tried and failed so many different diets leading up to my surgery that I just told myself it???s okay to need additional help." Thankfully, the surgery was a success and Tori was able to lose weight at a slow but steady rate over two years????" dropping from a size 22 to a size 6. She also worked out consistently, focusing on weight training and HIIT exercises. Tori said: "After surgery, I learned how to eat a well-balanced diet. ??sI don???t follow a strict diet but I did choose to become a vegetarian. ??sLiving my life eating a non-restrictive diet helps me mentally and physically. I don???t emotionally eat anymore.??? Tori now follows a plant-based diet full of rice, beans and vegetables ??" along with plenty of water. She said: "I make meals like vegan stir fry, burrito bowls, and protein pasta. ??sIt???s a lot of staple ingredients that I switch up for different meals I love cooking now and it is a stress reliever to me.??? However, she still indulges in treats like dark chocolate, crisps and pasta occasionally. The teacher currently weighs 150 pounds and feels like she has been given a new lease of life. She added: ??sI don???t stay inside all day like I used to and I definitely don???t let others??? opinions control me. ??sPhysically I can do so much more. I can run, lift weights, keep up with others, etc. My quality of life has greatly improved. "I also love trying out new exercises in the gym. ??sSome people are ashamed of having weight loss surgery and keep it a secret but I'm proud of my choice."
