A woman who lost 280 pounds after undergoing a gastric bypass surgery to achieve her dream figure killed herself because her new body reportedly made her feel worse. 37-year-old Kelly Burndred committed suicide in April because of a host of problems pertaining to her body size, said husband Gareth.

According to the Daily Mail, Kelly, who had a child from her marriage to Gareth, had suffered from self-esteem issues thanks to her weight her entire life. At her heaviest in 2014, she was said to have been close to 420 pounds but was down to 150 by March 2015 after her surgery.
