Royston mum sheds 6 stone in time for wedding

Comments(0)

A doctor's harsh comments about being overweight spurred a Royston mum to shed six stone in time for her wedding.

Catherine Beetles, of Tannery Drift, says she was repeatedly referred to as too fat by a doctor while pregnant with her first child Lauren, 13 months.

But, one year on from joining Slimming World at Royston Evangelical Church, the 28-year-old now believes she has the tools to keep the weight off for good.

She said: I ballooned during my pregnancy at 35 weeks I was 22 stone but was in denial about how much weight I had actually put on.

There was a doctor who really upset me. Every other sentence she would say because youre so fat.

She said I would have a terrible labour because of my weight. After the appointment I was really upset and cried for nearly three days.

But, Catherine admitted some of her pregnancy cravings were on the unhealthy side.

The former dental nurse said: My one big craving was Fanta and it had to be Fanta, not any other fizzy orange. I would only drink normal and not diet.

I also love burgers and I worked near Burger King at The Grafton which did not help.
