Her transformation was empowering
Suffering from depression during adolescence, Morgan weighed over 21 stone at the age of 17. She has a sad memory from that time, which she shared with Cosmopolitan magazine:
I had the impression that my body had failed, that I had no more control over my life.

Morgan tried many dietsthat did not work and then underwent surgeryto reduce the size of her stomach. She has since lost over three stone, exposing her transformation on Instagram to inspire people who are going through similar experiences.

I found it hurtful and embarrassing to see that this vulnerable image of me was rejected. I was surprised and devastated.
