A woman whose dad had recently died, Sheila Carne was literally one chocolate away from hitting her death bed. Her chocolate addiction got so out of control that she found herself weighing 335 pounds and wearing a size 30. The worst part is, she probably wouldn't have done anything about it if it wasn't for her deceased father. That's right girl, she got a message from her father up in heaven–and let's just say, it shook her up!

Carne was on her way to hit rock bottom. The 62-year-old wife and mom would circle around her local supermarket and stock up on tubs of chocolates, especially around the holidays. She had always struggled with her weight but really picked up the pounds after hurting her back in 1995. Carne had been working as a care assistant in a residential home. "I went from being an active person to not being able to do anything. I was signed off and on strong painkillers. I had to walk with a stick," she told the U.K.'s Mirror. "I'd just sit on the sofa and eat chocolates and gradually I got bigger and bigger. The weight really piled on. I felt no good as a mum or wife and became very depressed. But the more down I became, the more I ate. It was a vicious circle."

The poor girl tried every diet you could think of but nothing worked. Things got even worse after she had her gall bladder removed. "I had gallstones caused by all the junk food and chocolate," she said. It wasn't until she saw a psychic that things really started to change for her. "I'd been to see a clairvoyant a few years earlier and she said my dad, who had passed away, had told her I'd be up there with him if I didn't lose weight by the time I was 60. I wasn't ready to join him so I knew I had to tackle my weight once and for all."
Carne got on Weight Watchers and immediately started losing weight. Not only was she cooking healthier meals for herself but she was also able to feed her husband, Geoff, who has Parkinson's Disease, the same food. Before she knew it, she was working out, dropped 42 pounds and was wearing a size 16. The 62-year-old now weighs around 150 pounds and looks better than ever. "I've never felt better. I feel 20 years younger. My life has completely changed," she added. Who would have thought a message from the heavens was all she needed to get her life back?
