This sad experience motivated her to make important changes in her life, such as a healthy diet and daily exercise.

Canceled plans
Three years back, Jen Atkin adored organizing her ideal wedding, when her fiancé suddenly called it off. His excuse for losing hope in the blush bride-to-be? She had consumed too much junk and gained “too much” weight.
From fast food to a healthy diet

Well, skip forward to present times, and Jen, now married to another man, has exacted her revenge on her former lover by becoming Miss Great Britain. The 26-year-old admin worker from Ulceby, replaced burgers for a balanced diet and lost eight stone, dropping from size 22 to size 10 in two years.
Miss Scunthorpe and Miss England

Having lost weight from a size 17 to a size 9, Jen became Miss Scunthorpe before going on to compete in the title of Miss England in 2018, where she took first prize. She then stepped away from competing for a short while but decided to get back into it after entering her name as part of the 75th Miss Great Britain competition.petition.

Impressive personality

“When I began doing this, it was only for a bit of fun, I never thought how far I’d go. Three years ago, I never thought I’d win Miss GB. “Hard work really pays off.” She continued, “Winning Miss Great Britain marks the end of a long, hard but also incredible journey.”.
The breakup that inspired

“Even though my body has changed so much, I don’t think my personality has changed, and I think that actually helped me. “The judges were able to see what sort of person I actually am.” The beauty queen continued to talk about how her break-up led her to make dramatic changes in her life.”.
Gym and country music
[When we were still together] I would have massive servings of pasta or pizza, followed by a family size chocolate bar. At weekends, we would turn into virtual hermits, lounging on the sofa in pajamas, munching takeaway food – £20 every time.”.
Success through hard work

“On the day he left, I felt like my world had ended – I cried for weeks and comforted myself on food. But it was the best thing that ever happened to me.” Jen quickly joined her local gym and has never looked back – rather, she’s looking forward to better and greater things, including taking her country music career to new heights.
Over the moon
“I am over the moon,” she added. “I have so much planned for my reign, including the release of my next country single this spring.”
