Recruiting consultant Elizabeth Watkins, who weighed 26lbs, found love and got engaged after losing a 15th in 18 months.
The woman who went from a size 30 to a size 8 says she has found the love of her life, who she has been waiting for for a long time.
Elizabeth Watkins, 38, struggled to walk or simply stand, when she weighed 26 pounds.
She had isolated herself from the world to avoid the gazes of strangers and their pity.
The in-house recruitment consultant, from Princes Risborough, Buckinghamshire, has since lost 15lbs.
As a child, she struggled with her weight. Since she grew up in a Turkish Armenian family, she followed many traditions and celebrations marked by food.
One day Elizabeth finally realized that she couldn’t go on as she was and realized that she needed to change her ways habits and to lose weight to be healthier, so in May 2017 she decided to undergo gastric bypass surgery.
After the operation, she determinedly ate just 700 calories a day for a year to reduce her weight.
After a year he was still eating only 1200 calories to lose the rest of the weight.
In just 18 months she has lost a fantastic 15st and Elizabeth now weighs a much healthier 11st 8lbs and wears a slim UK size 8.
