Food Relationship Weight loss Relationships Big Birthday Snacks Mother Emotional New me Comfort Diet Loss Truth Snack

MATT BRIGGS from York, England has lost an incredible 245lbs after a picture with his dad shocked him into joining a weight loss group. Matt says he was always a bigger kid. With parents that owned a shop, he had unlimited access to sugary snacks. Matt's weight really increased when his mother fell ill with multiple sclerosis, looking for comfort in his food. When his mother passed away just before Matt’s 18th birthday, his diet hit an all time low. “From there on I just got bigger and bigger, emotional eating was paramount to me,” Matt told Truly. Weighing in at 437lbs at his heaviest, Matt struggled with his self-esteem and relationships were out of the question during this time. However, the real moment of truth happened when Matt came across a picture taken with his dad. “I wasn’t delusional, I understood I was bigger than other people. But seeing that picture and realising I was twice the size of my dad, that was the wake-up call for me.” That very same week Matt joined a weight loss programme and never looked back, losing an amazing 245lbs in just 18 months.
