I shed 30 kilos in just one year!

Then, one day at work, when I was 29, I tried moving a filing cabinet down some stairs when I tripped and broke my ankle.

Getting around on crutches was extremely difficult, and as the weeks rolled by, I put on weight.

After that, I accepted myself as a bigger woman.

Then, in 2008, I reconnected with an old friend, George, 43, who I hadn’t seen for over a decade.

I wasn’t looking for a relationship, but George, a doting dad, made me feel so comfortable.

Despite all the years that had passed, it was like we’d never been apart and we married in 2012.

As more time passed, my weight increased causing mobility problems.
