A mum-of-three lost half of her body weight after her daughter was teased by playground bullies for having a 'fat mum'.

I wanted to be a mum she could be proud of – not someone who just hid away.” The busy waitress and single mum to Stephanie, Siobhan, seven, and Seamus, six, was so big her kids could not fully wrap their arms around her to give her a hug.
