The mother-of-three from Las Vegas said she does not 'miss anything' about being 410lbs but that she has received hate mail directed at her transformed body.

'I got hate mail...Not so much from the other models, just fans that hated on me. They told me to go jump off a bridge and kill myself for losing weight.
'Fat activists, there you go. Yeah fat activists, they just hated the thought I was really public about my weight loss and I was losing weight,' she said.

She said: 'Because I guess everybody loves to be happy in their own weight. Some people love being overweight, some people don't.
