At one time the story of American Myra Rosales made a lot of noise. Many people who were familiar with her fate were touched to the core.
It all began in 2008, when the woman’s nephew died unexpectedly. Myra confessed that she had accidentally fallen on the child, after which he did not survive. Considering the woman’s weight at the time was about 470 pounds, the fall on the frail boy could have ended badly.
Not surprisingly, because of her enormous weight, Myra could not even get out of bed, let alone appear in court. As the case received widespread publicity, people were outraged that a woman who had killed a child, even if not on purpose, could avoid responsibility.
But after the examination, it turned out that Maira had nothing to do with her nephew’s death.
It turned out that the child’s own mother had taken his life, and in a fit of rage. And Myra out of the goodness of her heart wanted to take the blame for his sister. Rosales was acquitted of all charges, and her sister went to prison.
Enraptured by Myra’s courage and kindness, the head doctor of one of the leading American clinics suggested that the woman undergo intensive treatment to get rid of excess weight.
Rosales agreed to go to the clinic.
Different specialists worked with her simultaneously: nutritionists, surgeons, and psychologists. The woman managed to lose 200 kilograms without surgery, which was a huge victory. But she still weighed almost 300 kilograms.
Then it became clear that she could not do without surgery. The woman bravely went through several surgeries. But the most difficult thing for her was to stick to her diet. All in all, the treatment took almost 5 years, and the result was simply magical.
Myra only weighed 90 kg! Using her own example, Myra decided to help people with similar problems. She got a job as a psychologist at the clinic, where she was given a new life and now she feels great, takes care of her nephews, and travels a lot.
