I LOST 12 STONE…AND MY VIRGINITY!

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. But six years later, the size 10 beauty is in demand and is inundated with attention from men who are desperate to date her. 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.
