4.The Tragic Death of Her Nephew

This is the incident that changed her life completely. In 2008, in an unfortunate incident, Eliseo Rosales Jr. (son of Mayra Rosales sister Jaime Rosales) died after his mother Jaime hit hard on his head. Mayra Rosales lied to police and made a false confession that the kid was dead because she accidentally rolled over him. Mayra did this to protect her sister, as she thinks her life is already over because of her obesity. With autopsy reports showing the kid was dead because of a blunt force trauma on his head, the authorities started doubting Mayra's confession. In the end, Mayra told the court that it was her sister who accidentally killed her son, by hitting him on head, when he refused to eat. Jaime was sentenced 15 years in jail.

6.A Dozen Doctors Worked as Team for Her First Surgery

If you can't control your weight when it is manageable, you could only lose it with risky and pricey weight loss surgeries. This is what happened to Mayra. Mayra has put in so much weight that she can't lose weight with diet or exercise. Doctors have to surgically remove some portion of her body fat to make her body responsive for the further weight loss treatments. With first surgery, she lost about 100 pounds, which showed a significant change in the way she looks.
