　　The lifestyle blogger, who underwent surgery to remove her excess skin, now has more than 270,000YouTube subscribers - and has even been contacted by the people who used to bully her to tell her she's 'beautiful'.

　　这位生活达人博主还曾通过手术切除肥胖带来的多余皮肤，如今她在Youtube视频网站上拥有超过27万的订阅者。之前欺负她的人如今也主动和她联系，说她很漂亮。

　　Tanya lost the weight over three. She shed the pounds by first ditching unhealthy trans-fats, and increasing the number of times per week that she exercised. She said: 'It's my own Cinderella story.' I didn't socialise - I had no friends and I spent a lot of time just reading. 'I also hope it warns other people from getting fat. '

　　塔尼娅过去三年一直在减肥。她先是甩掉不健康脂肪，然后每周增加锻炼次数。她说：“我亲身体验了一把”灰姑娘的故事“。我以前从不社交，我没朋友，每天花很多时间读书。我希望这些经历能够提醒人们不要变胖。”

　　Now Tanya runs an online programme to pass on her knowledge to help others.

　　如今塔尼娅在经营一个网络项目，她把自己的(减肥)经验传递给他人。

　　'It's not just about losing weight, that's just the first step, it's about having confidence and being healthy physically and mentally. 'The biggest change is confidence as losing weight shows you can do it if you want. 'You can change your life if you believe in yourself.'
