When Cynthia de la Vega accepted her crown at the Nuestra Belleza Mundo Mexico pageant last September, she was thrilled that it meant she would represent her country at the 2011 Miss World pageant.
But the crown has been snatched from her because of six pound weight gain, she claims.
"I was very, very excited because I thought this would be a great experience," she told "Good Morning America."
But now, she will never make it out of Mexico to fulfill her pageant dreams.
De la Vega has been stripped of her crown, she claims, because she failed to lose enough weight before the competition.
Organizers of Nuestra Belleza Mexico, Mexico's equivalent of the Miss USA pageant, withdrew the 19-year-old's title last month, claiming that she had a "lack of dedication and discipline."
De la Vega came in second in the September pageant. The first place winner moves on to the Miss Universe pageant while the runner-up, de la Vega, was slated compete in the Miss World contest on Nov. 6 in London.

Are you kidding me? If they really wanted her to keep in shape for publicity or whatever they should provide nutritionists so that any wait loss is healthy. It is very easy these days for young people to get eating disorders because they are expected to look great all the time and they aren't shown the right way to treat food. She should be proud that she didn't put her crown before her health. She is still a Queen in my books.
what's wrong with tha world, they all want us skinny?
