Addicted to junk food
It's one thing to have an addiction to junk food when you are by yourself, but when your significant other is also a participant in that addiction, it becomes that much harder to control it.
For example, Leisa had a hard time finding a wedding dress and their bed collapsed 4 times under the pressure of their weight, before they decided to sleep on a mattress on the floor. The problem is that the couple made no effort to get healthier until after their wedding.
A blessing in disguise
When Noel got the photos from their wedding back, he felt that he had to hide them from his wife. He pretended that there had been a delay and saved some time before finally showing her.
Leisa was devastated by the photos and proceeded to tear them up. Together, they started a diet and lost about 21 stone in total (14 stone for Noel and 7 stone for Leisa). Thanks to a healthy diet and physical exercise, the couple is now unrecognisable.
