Kiwi woman who lost 100kg faces trolls again

You may recognise the name Simone Anderson. The young Kiwi woman shed almost 100 kilograms and documented her journey online.

She shared and shed more of herself than most people do in a lifetime; she made a point of baring all.

She garnered international media attention for the way she silenced her critics who claimed she had made everything up.

But just as Ms Anderson thought the hate game was over, something seemingly innocent started it back up and prompted her to take action once again.

She set herself a goal to compete in a boxing event and had to gain 5 kilograms to match her opponent and that's when the trolls reappeared.

The weight gain was purposeful and mostly muscle, but the negative and nasty messages kept coming.

But Ms Anderson knows success is the best revenge and a hard fought win led to a moment of clarity.
