A former food addict who had spent her whole life dreaming of romance shed an astonishing 12st 7lbs to experience love for the first time. Hazel Dyson, 27, used to weigh a massive 22st 7lbs and as a 21-year-old virgin had given up hope of ever having a boyfriend. Men insulted her size 26 figure, calling her ‘massive’ and ‘disgusting’ – leaving the ceramic artist convinced that she would be single forever.

Hazel, from Huddersfield, said: ‘I’d struggled with my weight since I was a child, and by the time I was in secondary school, I was 15st.
