When He Broke A Chair, He Knew He Needed To Change
Express
For Chris and Lesley of the United Kingdom, the final straw came when Chris smashed a wooden chair after attempting to sit down in it. The ordeal caused splinters to go into his leg, an injury which became infected due to his weight. Chris, who weighed over 400 pounds, also began to suffer from sleep apnea, which was a great cause of concern for his partner Lesley, who herself weighed over 200 pounds. Chris’s doctor recommended he join Slimming World, a U.K.-based weight loss organization. Since Chris was embarrassed to join on his own, Lesley signed up with him.
