It’s always refreshing to see a woman who isn’t constantly worried about her weight – but reading about Britain’s fattest woman was heartbreaking. Here’s a person so addicted to food she can no longer leave her house – the last time she tried she broke the suspension on her husband’s car.

Brenda tucks away a massive 6000 calories a day, mostly consisting  of chocolates and fizzy drinks. She is hopeful she will be able to loose weight to start a family in the future.

Have you lost a dramatic amount of weight? Did you do it in an unusual way? Perhaps you tried but something stopped you. We’d love to hear your weight-related stories – they might even help someone like Brenda.
