Humiliation drove the student at UWE Bristol to give up junk food - she
has slimmed down from size 24 to size eight and now weighs a healthy
9st 5lb
A student went on to lose almost half her body weight
after getting stuck in a seat on her first day at university.
Shamed Megan Longdon, who was 17st 5lb, told other students to climb over her before she wriggled free.Megan, 20, from Kingswood, Bristol, said: “It happened right at the end of the lecture, when I had to get up to leave.
“It made me feel embarrassed, I had to wait for everyone to leave, I even had to have people climb over me to get out.
“These were potential new friends it was so, so embarrassing.
“I had to prise myself out when they had all left, it was about 10 or 15 minutes later. I was just stuck in the arm bits on my hip area, I had the table bit in front of me to lean on, there was not a huge gap.
“People were a bit confused as to what I was doing and the fact I was telling them to climb over me, I didn’t know anyone so it was really embarrassing.
“I stopped going to university for weeks after it happened I was so embarrassed, I missed out on making all my friends and a lot of work, it was awful.
“It stopped me making a lot of friends during my first year, I didn’t socialise at all really.”
The humiliation drove the law student at UWE Bristol to give up junk food . She has slimmed down from size 24 to size eight and now weighs a healthy 9st 5lb.
She added: “It’s so good to finally get back to normal again. I feel a lot better, I can wear dresses and skirts now which is amazing, before I just wore a lot of baggy tops.”
Great respect for that girl, she definitely is a inspiration to loose weight for many young girls.
ReplyDeleteI have a friend who had an embarrassing moment too. I feel for those who weigh more than they want to be.
ReplyDeleteAs terrible as the situation was, it's somehow good it happened for it was the final spurt for the girl to change her weight! Her achievement is remarkable! I bet many girls in a similar situation will be inspired!
ReplyDeleteThis girl deserves a medal!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a lot of weight. Her trigger was pretty harsh, but as it seems, it was worth it.
ReplyDeleteFrom a size 24 to an 8 is impressive!
ReplyDeleteI can feel for this girl I have had similar situation where I was embarrassed. She sure is an inspiration.
ReplyDeleteWhat an inspiration to all people out there who need to lose weight!! Many people in her situation would have turned to food and not worried about loosing the weight.
ReplyDeleteWOW! Megan did an awesome job in losing weight! She lost weight by such a simple way that everyone can do it...it's all in having the will power to do so.
ReplyDeleteShe went through an embarassing experience, but in the end this helped her give up junk food and lose so much weight. It's good it happened to her. Even though it was harsh, I guess she just needed the push.
ReplyDeleteThis would be so embarrassing. At least she didn't let it get her down to where she quit going completely. She did something about it.
