I know many of you have still subscribed to the “New Year, New Me” mantra. Typically around January 31 I start to abandon all the measures I’ve vowed to put in place to dig myself out of being a piece of shit, but stories like these ones make me feel empowered and could extend my resolution to February 1. I hope this motivates you to become the best version of yourself.

Mathilde Broberg, 21, from Aarhus, Denmark ballooned to almost 280 pounds after consistently binging on multiple-course dinners and chocolate. Her daily calorie intake was hovered around 3,500, nearly double the recommended intake for a girl of her age and her BMI was 40.6, putting her into the highest category of obesity according to the World Health Organization, according to Daily Mail.

The tipping point came when she was almost turned away from riding on a roller coaster after struggling to secure the harness. From that day forward, Mathilde ditched sweets, pasta, bread, chips, and everything that previously brought her comfort. Four years later, she shed 125 pounds.

Today, Mathilde Broberg now weighs 147 pounds and is a successful sportswear and catalogue model, against all odds.

She attributes her success to tricker her body into thinking its fuller quicker by eating with a teaspoon and making sure her portions were no bigger than the size of her hand.

Mathilde told Daily Mail,

‘Now I’m in a modelling agency, doing catalogue work, commercials and things like that for sportswear as I have the muscles to carry it off.

‘If someone told me three years ago, that I would be a professional trainer and a model, I would have just laughed at them.’

Mathilde says the massive weight loss coupled with the $7,000 tummy tuck surgery paid for by the Denmark government to get rid of the excess skin has garnered attention from people who wouldn’t look in her direction a few years back.

‘A family member came up to me at a party and introduced himself because he didn’t recognise me now that I look so different.

‘Also, out of nowhere I’ve suddenly became interesting to the boys, I’ve turned down a lot of people who have asked me out because if they can’t handle me at my biggest they don’t deserve me now.’

Inspiring. I may actually go for a run tonight. Oh, there’s a 20% chance of rain. I guess I’ll just start exercising tomorrow. Probably.

Matt’s love of writing was born during a sixth grade assembly when it was announced that his essay titled “Why Drugs Are Bad” had taken first prize in D.A.R.E.’s grade-wide contest. The anti-drug people gave him a $50 savings bond for his brave contribution to crime-fighting, and upon the bond’s maturity 10 years later, he used it to buy his very first bag of marijuana.
