A woman hit back against the critics who told her she's become "too confident" after losing weight.

Plus-sized Brooke Barrows, 30, always struggled with her image but finally became confident in her own skin. After having a boob job and a tummy tuck, her confidence had a boost, and she learnt to embrace her curves.

But since she altered her image her fans started to turn into critics, and claimed she's become "too confident". They didn't seem to like how good she started to feel about herself.

Brooke told Fabulous: "This needs to be said. I am getting an overwhelming amount of comments calling me narcissistic – I need to be humbled. That I am too confident.

"For some reason this is only an issue now, after I’ve lost weight. Your perception of me has changed, because I haven’t changed at all.

"I have receipts of me before I even started this journey and before I lost weight of me being arrogant and loving myself unapologetically. And you guys ate that up. But now that your perception has changed I can’t keep the same energy? Make it make sense. Where were you guys 100lbs ago?"

The influencer weighed around 25st at her heaviest, but she's since dropped to roughly 15st now. When she started to post on social media she was working as a nurse, and she admitted she was stunned when companies offered to pay her to promote their products.

A whole new career took off for her when she was offered $300 (£250) for her first stint. She now has thousands of followers, and even has a few acting possibilities in the pipeline.

Even though her online success rocketed, she said she's tired of the criticism she faces online. She decided to put herself first and lose some weight, but it's been met with a lot of hate.

"You are all fans that were so nice to me before," added Brooke. "But now I have prioritised my body’s health because it was declining so fast. Now you have an issue with my confidence.

"I think that means we don’t align anymore and you can go."

Despite the cruel comments, she doesn't care what other people think, as she's so happy now. She's truly found peace within herself and her image.

Brooke proudly told her followers that she likes herself, and confidence comes alongside that. She doesn't care what others have to say, as all she cares about is her own opinion.

She added: "You could give me compliments and it doesn’t matter. That’s what true self esteem and confidence is."
