At that check-up, my weight was such an issue, my doctor wanted me to see a nutritionist,&#8217; she explained.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">So Rachelle began working with the nutritionist in order to get herself back to a healthy weight, taking up physical exercise as a means of trimming down and getting fit.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;I got involved in our high school tennis team and eventually was at a healthy weight,&#8217; \u00a0she added.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;I met my [now] husband and we decided to get married. When my wedding dress came in, it was too small. So, I went on a crash diet to make it fit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;Then once our wedding day was over, it was like a free-for-all eating-wise; I didn&#8217;t have to worry about starving myself to fit into a dress anymore, so I could eat whatever I wanted.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">In February 2016, after slumping into her over-sized recliner with a plate full of pizza rolls, it suddenly dawned on her that she had to make a change and she started by throwing away all the\u00a0junk food she had at home.<\/p>\n<p>        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-56a2fd247cbdd03e\" src=\"image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" height=\"584\" width=\"306\" alt=\"Fit and active: Rachelle threw herself into exercising as part of her weight loss regime\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" \/><\/p>\n<p>    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-56a2fd247cbdd03e\" src=\"http:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/i\/pix\/2017\/07\/31\/10\/42D717CF00000578-4745842-image-a-22_1501493215711.jpg\" height=\"584\" width=\"306\" alt=\"Fit and active: Rachelle threw herself into exercising as part of her weight loss regime\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" \/><\/p>\n<p>        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-541f4f49e973b28f\" src=\"image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" height=\"584\" width=\"306\" alt=\"Rachelle in her work out clothes\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" \/><\/p>\n<p>    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-541f4f49e973b28f\" src=\"http:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/i\/pix\/2017\/07\/31\/10\/42D7176700000578-4745842-image-m-21_1501493209297.jpg\" height=\"584\" width=\"306\" alt=\"Rachelle in her work out clothes\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"imageCaption\">Fit and active: Rachelle threw herself into exercising as part of her weight loss regime<\/p>\n<p>        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-e2dfbf2f59733831\" src=\"image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" height=\"778\" width=\"634\" alt=\"Confident: Rachelle said her husband is now married to a 'better version of the old her'\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" \/><\/p>\n<p>    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-e2dfbf2f59733831\" src=\"http:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/i\/pix\/2017\/07\/31\/10\/42D718E600000578-4745842-image-m-24_1501493226087.jpg\" height=\"778\" width=\"634\" alt=\"Confident: Rachelle said her husband is now married to a 'better version of the old her'\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"imageCaption\">Confident: Rachelle said her husband is now married to a &#8216;better version of the old her&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-49a137fe826003b6\" src=\"image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" height=\"481\" width=\"634\" alt=\"Personal journey: The mother-of-two shows he she now has extra room in her old clothes\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" \/><\/p>\n<p>    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-49a137fe826003b6\" src=\"http:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/i\/pix\/2017\/07\/31\/10\/42D717DA00000578-4745842-image-m-34_1501493443127.jpg\" height=\"481\" width=\"634\" alt=\"Personal journey: The mother-of-two shows he she now has extra room in her old clothes\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"imageCaption\">Personal journey: The mother-of-two shows he she now has extra room in her old clothes<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;I was sick of missing out on doing things my husband and kids due to my size and health,&#8217; she said. &#8216;I was sick of feeling bad all the time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;I was sick of all the aches and pains I had.
