MAN LOSES 20 STONE AFTER FOOD ADDICTION RUNS UP £15K DEBT
A man has lost an incredible 20st after his addiction to food left him £15k in debt. Craig Wood, 31, who once weighed a whopping 38st, would spend up to £200 a day on beer and takeaways and even shoplifted chicken wings by stuffing them down his trousers. After undergoing gastric band surgery on the NHS, Craig, from Hereford, now weighs a trim 18st. Craig, an electronic technician, said: 'I’d always been overweight, and by the age of eight teachers were pulling me out of lessons to tell me that they were worried about my size.
