Everybody loves a bullied-overcoming-the-bully stories and in this day and age, with social media, there seems to be an endless feed of 'em. The latest, involving student Emma Pope, is as good as they come.

Pope, 23, from San Marcos, Texas, has lost 10 stone 7 lbs after years of being labelled the 'fat girl'. During one volleyball game, she was told to get her 'fat ass off the court' by people in the stands.

But stuff all those guys. Pope has had the last laugh after quitting the daily diet of pasta and pizza. She even gets apologies from her past bullies.

Speaking to MailOnline, Pope said: "I was bullied a lot at school but I never told my parents. I bottled it all up and never said anything about the hurtful comments kids made, they were pretty awful to me.

"I was referred to as "the fat girl" all the time, but the worst moment happened during a volleyball match, when I was hurled abuse at because of the outfit I was wearing.

"A bunch of guys yelled that I should get my "fat ass off the court" and crazy stuff, it got so bad they had to be escorted away by the police.

She added: "[Since losing the weight] I've had messages from guys telling me how sorry they are for what they said to me, it really shocks them to see me now.

"I don't think they expected me to turn out this way and they regret being so horrible.

"I doubt they are apologising out the kindness of their heart, there's definitely an ulterior motive so with any attempts to flirt with me I reject them.immediately.

"After deciding to pursue a degree in the medical field I knew I had to lose weight.

"After I graduate, I want to be the best role model I can be and don't want to be the unhealthy person giving sick people advice about their lives."

Impressive, innit?
