Wedding prompts bride to lose half her body weight
Sheila was determined she wasn't going to be a "fat bride" and so lost 12 stone ahead of her wedding
A recent survey revealed that the average bride-to-be aims to lose two stone in weight ahead of their big day. However Sheila McInnes went a step further and shed half her body weight before she walked down the aisle.
After her partner Brian proposed, although elated at the prospect of becoming his wife, Sheila refused to name the date as she dreaded the thought being a “fat bride.”
At 24 stone, and a dress size 32, Sheila was morbidly obese. However it wasn’t until she developed sleep apnoea which was caused by her weight, that she felt spurred on to lose the weight.
After being told she’d need to lose 4 stone before being considered for a gastric band operation, the mother-of-two embarked on a diet from the internet which replaced meals with shakes, bars, and soups. After losing the 4 stone, Sheila decided to ditch the gastric band operation and instead continued with the diet, determined to shed the pounds that way.
The dedication paid off as 32-year-old Sheila was able to buy that wedding dress she’s been dreading getting into and walk down the aisle with confidence, 12 stone lighter than she was when she got engaged.
Many friends who attended the wedding hadn’t seen Sheila since her dramatic weight loss which prompted quite a few gasps when she made her big arrival on their wedding day last October.
Husband Brian admitted fighting back the tears as he watched his bride in a stunning strapless size 12 dress walking towards him on their big day.
