This woman managed incredible weight loss… but had to handle her ‘jealous’ husband

You’d hope, upon an impressive weight loss, that your partner would be happy for you; proud of you for having the motivation and dedication to achieve it.

In fact, her partner became more and more jealous of the attention his wife was receiving following her confidence increase; so much so, he accused her of being unfaithful on numerous occasions.

Shannon, from Las Vegas, claims she used to binge on as many as 10 takeaways every week before she had a wake-up call after seeing a photo of herself as a bridesmaid at her brother’s wedding and realising she had to do something about her weight.

“I allowed myself to get that heavy. I unfortunately went through stages of self-pity until I asked myself, ‘do you want to live?’,” she said.

She underwent an operation to have a gastric sleeve in January last year, and a combination of that plus healthier eating and exercise meant that by November had lost more than 15 of her 26 stone of body weight.
