MEET the stunning woman who lost almost six-stone after having weight loss surgery when she was just SIXTEEN-YEARS-OLD after first going on a diet when she was just seven.

Growing up, actress, performer and model, Sabrina Monique (21) from White Plains, New York, USA, had always been overweight but she didn’t let this stop her from pursuing an active lifestyle and her musical theatre dreams. As a child she danced eight different styles a week, played lacrosse and did cheerleading, despite this, she continued to put on weight which prevented her being cast for leading roles.

Sabrina was bullied at school for her size and her peers would call her a ‘waddling whale’. She tried every diet going from Jenny Craig and Atkins to Slim Fast and the Paleo diet. At seven years old, Sabrina’s mum put her on the Weight Watchers diet and she even tried counselling and hypnosis in a bid to shed the pounds.

After many hospital tests, Sabrina found out at 13 she had a resistance to insulin which went some way in explaining her weight. In July 2013 and a UK size 26 and 16st 6lbs, Sabrina underwent bariatric surgery and is now a fit and healthy 9st 9lbs and a UK size 10 and is living out her dreams in New York City.
