SUSAN BOYLE

Many of the music industry’s talented figures first gained widespread recognition by joining talent shows. One such person that instantly became a star thanks to Britain’s Got Talent is none other than Susan Boyle. Since then, she has released more than a few hit albums, including I Dreamed a Dream and Someone to Watch Over Me. Susan Boyle revealed she had been battling her weight since she was young. She was even often bullied in school at the time because of her appearance.

As she felt she had nowhere to go, she took comfort in food. Sadly, it only made her weigh even more. When she was diagnosed with Type II diabetes in 2012, Susan knew she needed to be health-conscious, or else she might need to use her health insurance. What is the first thing she did, you ask? Well, she cut sugar from her diet. Although it was the bane of her life, Susan knew that she had to stop eating sweets and cakes.
