Gabriela Cardenas is our new fitness motivation!

The beautiful CEO of Heaven's Makeup Academy first appeared on Revenge Body with Khloé Kardashian. She explained how she ended up stress-eating and putting on 30 pounds after discovering that her (now) ex-fiancé cheated on her.

"I have this wedding dress that I bought, and I actually bought it the day before I found out about the girl," she explained. "I went shopping with my bridesmaids on Sunday, and then on Monday I found out. It was devastating, for sure. I called off the wedding that same day."

She's body positive.

"I have to say I don't even recognize myself looking at this pic on the left." she admitted.

She explained by writing, "Now please don't ever think I'm one to body shame or make fun of plus size, because as long as you feel beautiful in your skin that's all that matters. I just happen to feel more beautiful in my skin now."
