    A racy model who survived cancer revealed how she looked when she was a “Snickers bar away” from weighing 300lbs.

    Former bartender Taylor Stevens began webcamming in 2006 when she was obese.

    She was happy with her larger frame but decided to transform after a doctor delivered a blunt health warning.

    The blonde bombshell then lost 180lbs in just over a year by embracing a keto diet while exercising three hours a day.

    And last week she shocked her 370,000 social media followers by sharing a throwback picture.

    The former plus-sized model wrote: “I was a confident, happy BBW (big beautiful woman) but my health was at risk. I was pre diabetic I’ve come a long way. Oh and I beat cancer too.”

    One fan replied: “You looked beautiful back then, and you look beautiful now. It's great that you beat cancer.”

    Another wrote: “That is an incredible and impressive journey. You should be proud about what you’ve accomplished. Thanks for sharing.”

    A third added: “Spectacular transformation.”

    Taylor chose webcamming after a friend’s recommendation and she said it was an “instant success” and she “just felt at home”.

    She was even surprised that there was such a popular market for bigger girls and she was worried her career could suffer after she slimmed down.

    But her modelling success has been continuous and she said her transformation is one of the things she is most proud of.

    And last year she opened up to Scouse porn legend Tanya Tate on her Skinfluencer Success podcast.

    Taylor, who is from Toronto, Canada, said: “It was actually crazy, when I set my mind to something it is going to get done no matter what.

    “When I started in the industry I would say I was a Snickers bar away from 300lbs. I was 198lbs. I was pre diabetic and I am 5ft 4 so short and it obviously was not a healthy weight.”

    Taylor said having little structure as a child and her dad passing away when she was six contributed to her weight gain.

    But her apperance was never something she was ashamed of.

    She said: “I was never not confident as a BBW. I wouldn’t have spread my very thick thighs in the middle of a magazine if I didn’t feel comfortable with my body.

    “I was really confident as a BBW but I was extremely unhealthy. The doctor said I have to lose the weight.

    “So March 16, 2006, I said ok that is it, it is time to lose the weight and I am going to do it. I didn’t set any specific number but 13 months later I had lost 180lbs.

    “People always think I must have had gastric bypass surgery but there is no way I could have. Why? Because I love food and I love to eat.”
