Losing weight gave her the body of a grandmother

                      

All she wanted was to look good in her wedding gown.When 19 stone Kristina Miles planned to slim down ahead of her wedding day, the bride-to-be hoped she would look and feel sexier than ever.

However the newly-wed, who lost an incredible 9 stone in time for her big day with
husband Ashley, from Ipswich, Suffolk, said losing the weight has destroyed her sex life.
The 23 year old went from size 24 to 14 said she was horrified after shedding the pounds left her with the body of a granny due to excess skin.

After several successful weeks of dieting, her GP prescribed medication to boost her weight loss and soon she was shedding one stone per month.

Kristina's weight loss was a huge success seeing her go from a size 24 to a size 14. But Kristina noticed that as more fat melted away, it left behind saggy skin.

On the day of her wedding, she was close to tears as she had to tuck the excess skin into her knickers.

'I should have felt a million dollars because I had made it to a size 14. But I felt disgusting. I was hiding the body of a pensioner.'

She smiled happily for photographs but says she was dreading the wedding night.

'It should have been such a special night but I felt too self-conscious to enjoy it. I felt sexier when I was fatter. I felt like a freak but Ashley told me not to be daft.'

After the wedding she saw her GP who agreed to refer her for an apronectomy to remove the loose skin on her stomach.

But the referral was rejected and now Kristina is at a loss at what to do as she is unable to afford the procedure herself.

'We don't have the money for private surgery. It would cost at least £10,000.'

She admits that in her darkest moments she is tempted to start eating junk again to fill out the empty folds.
