Weight loss: I lost 10st after getting so fat I got wedged in a seat on the Tube to work – The Sun

Lose Weight Comments Off on Weight loss: I lost 10st after getting so fat I got wedged in a seat on the Tube to work – The Sun

FEASTING on takeaways and eating treats in secret, Shelly Ribbons was in denial.

It was only when she got wedged in a seat on the Tube on her commute to work that she realised her weight had spiralled out of control.

She was travelling to work when she tried to get up at her stop.

But when she couldn't, she realised she was stuck between the seats.

Despite several tries, Shelly couldn't get up and too embarrassed to ask for help she ended up waiting for four stops before she could dislodge herself from the seat.

So horrified was she, at what had happened, Shelly vowed to overhaul her lifestyle and diet.

"When I tried to get up, I couldn't," she said.

"Commuters were sitting either side of me, meaning my fat had squished under the arm rests and I was wedged.

"I had to go four stops until one person got up and I was able to push my fat from under the arm rest and get out of the chair.

"To this day, even though I have lost over 10st, the seats with arm rests scare me as I still think I'm going to get stuck."

"I was totally mortified," she added.

"I promised myself there and then - after I cried my eyes out - that I would never buy any size 28 clothes again."

From that day, Shelly started to review her diet and watched what she ate.

She had never considered it before, feasting on regular takeaways and eating sugary treats throughout the day, often after scoffing two breakfasts.

"Having a massive greasy takeaway was kind of the norm," she said.

"I can remember hiding food too. Eating things in private because then it didn't count.

"No one saw me eat five chocolate bars so it didn't happen, right?"

After leaving school and getting a busy job in the city, Shelly's weight just spiralled reaching 22st.

As the weight started to come off, with a healthier diet and more exercise, Shelly also signed up to Slimming World.

It was the turning point, she said, changing her attitude and relationship with food for good.

Now Shelly feels equipped to make healthier choices when eating out, and now loves exercising.

"My whole mindset has changed towards food," Shelly said.

"And my attitude towards exercise has changed too.

"I enjoy working out and am now ever so slightly competitive with myself."

Shelly now goes to the gym every day before work, and is taking on the London Marathon next April to raise money for the Rainbow Trust children's charity.

"I never ever thought I would say this, but I love exercise," Shelly said.

Offering words of advice to others who want to try and lose weight, Shelly said it's best to take it slowly and not try to rush the process.

"Stick with it and take it slow," she said.

"We all want that quick weight loss but I honestly think that losing it the way I have has meant I have kept the weight off.

"Don't let the scales completely control your life.

"Going down a dress size or just feeling healthier, look for the victories that don't involve the scales."
