After the wedding, the couple from the UK gained weight.
Everything suited them in each other’s appearance, until one of the four children called his mother fatty.
Then the parents came to their senses and decided to lose weight.
By 2019, Chris weighed 142 kilograms, and his wife — 111.
“One day my youngest son said to me, “Mommy, you’re fat.”
And that was after we tried a lot of diets and also spent countless days in the gym.
We wanted to lose weight and be healthy and active for our family.”
The couple went to extreme measures and turned to bariatric surgery — procedures for weight loss through surgery.
In 2019, the couple underwent surgery.
Four months later, the first noticeable results appeared, and a year later the couple lost 95 kg.
Chris weighed 91, and Nerissa — 67.
Along with the change in weight, the lifestyle of the spouses has also changed.
They became more active, started spending more time with children and changed the food system.
The couple no longer snacked on French fries or ordered pizza for dinner.
The family switched to protein shakes, fish, fruits and vegetables.
These changes refreshed the couple’s relationship, and in 2021 they had their fifth child.
