Melanie Malone, 31, claims she ate McDonald's three times a day, tipping the scales at 23 stone at her biggest
A mum who spent £5k on takeaways and struggled to walk has managed to shed a whopping 14 stone. Melanie Malone, 31, claims she ate McDonald's three times a day as she tipped the scales at 23 stone.
Melanie said: "I was a massive binge eater. Fizzy drinks were my crutch. I would drink so many cans of diet coke a day, it was ridiculous. At the most, I'd have six cans a day. Crisps were my kryptonite. I'd sit and eat 10 bags of Space Raiders and hide all the empty packets in the big packet so it didn't look like I'd eaten them all.
Melanie said: "I'd say from around the age of 12 I went through a lot of bullying because I started to put on a little bit of weight and that just made the situation worse and I'd comfort eat. I remember being 15 and being 15 stone, I was really heavy at such a young age, it was as if my age matched my weight.
Melanie said: "Everything was a challenge. I couldn't walk up the stairs without getting out of breath, sitting on the toilet, or getting into toilet cubicles when they were small. If I was going to go for a meal I'd already be thinking 'how big are the spaces between the chairs? Will I be able to squeeze through there?
