A rude comment from a patient pushed this nurse to make a drastic change

Vanessa De Bartolo is a 28-year-old nurse who weighed nearly 24 stone. One day, a patient asked her how she could give dietary advice when she was not able to follow it herself. Shocked, Vanessa decided to make a big change: she started going to the gym regularly and stopped eating fast food.

A major difference

And she does not regret her efforts, as she has lost 11 stone! She now weighs just under 13 stone and looks completely different. She says, "Eating healthy has made me a better nurse and a happier person - it's the best decision I've ever made."

The weight loss journey isn't over

Now that she's a size 12, Vanessa has one ultimate goal in mind: to reach a size 10 to fit into her wedding dress.
