Woman gets ULTIMATE revenge after husband calls her 'fat cow'

Before and after: Jen went from a size 28 to a size 8

A FORMER size 30 comfort-eater has lost over 10st and left her husband after he called her a 'fat cow'.

Jen Mellor, 35, who once weighed 22st 4lbs, says her estranged husband use to make her feel so ashamed of her weight. “The more he put me down, the more I turned to food for comfort.”

From an early age, Jen struggled with her size and after the birth of her son she turned to food to cope with the stress of being a single mum and full time carer for her autistic son.

Two years later she had ballooned to a size 30 and weighed 22st 4lbs.

Then in 2006, Jen thought she had met the man of her dreams, Andy Mellor, through an internet chatroom and they were married in 2011.

Initially, Andy did not care about her weight but as time went on his comments became more hurtful and abusive.

"Night after night, Andy would tell me to sleep on the sofa so that he had more room in bed.”

In January 2014, determined to improve her self-confidence, Jen joined her local Slimming World but even after losing 4st 7lb in four months she said her husband continued to be critical. "I remember him saying, 'You can't even notice any weight loss - have you lost it from your ankles.”

"When I told him how he made me feel, he said 'It's all in your head, you fat cow.' That's when I told him it was over. I'd had enough,” she said.

Now, Jen flaunts her size 8 figure in slinky dresses and colourful blouses and enjoys time with her boyfriend Stuart Eggleshaw and son Ben.

"Stuart makes me feel like a million dollars, and he's supported me every step of my weight loss journey,” she added. ”He lost more than 22st in 16 months himself, so I know that he understood my struggle."
