A new bride was so upset by how she looked in her wedding photos that she decided to lose weight. 

When Verity Trueman, 30, from Stratford-upon-Avon, U.K., got married in 2018, she weighed 240 pounds, according to SWNS. 

“My weight had become such an issue that something as simple as putting on a seatbelt was a nightmare as the clip would painfully dig into my leg,” she said. “I was always tired, everything hurt and I couldn’t even do a basic 10-minute workout without being in pain.”

Trueman decided it was time to change her lifestyle a few weeks after the ceremony, when she got her wedding photos.

“The final straw was seeing my wedding photographs,” Trueman said in a press release. “I cried for days after looking at them. I was the biggest I’d ever been and I couldn’t even bring myself to look at those pictures again for months after.”

Six months later, in January 2019, Trueman joined U.K.-based weight loss program, Slimming World.

“I struggled with my weight since I was a teenager, so I’d tried every diet you could think of,” Trueman said in a release for the program. “The thing that struck me about Slimming World was that I never had to feel hungry because I could still enjoy all of my favorite foods, like pasta.”

She also stuck with her group, even after it moved online during the coronavirus pandemic.

“The group was really amazing too,” Trueman said. “Being surrounded by people who understand how it feels to struggle with your weight was really comforting and I really relied on their support throughout.”

However, her journey wasn’t perfect.

“Of course, there were times that I had a bump in the road – an unexpected gain or a bit of a wobble,” Trueman said. “I found keeping a food diary really helpful, or researching the menu before a meal out so that I could make a healthier choice.”

Now that she’s lost 84 pounds and weighs 156 pounds, Trueman has also left her husband and started a new job.
