WOMAN LOSES 8ST AFTER DITCHING CURRY ADDICTION

A woman who was addicted to eating curries has shed an impressive 8st after giving up her favourite food. Lillian Roythorne, 24, from Kidderminster, West Midlands, once weighed a whopping 19st and would scoff on grease-laden dishes three times a week. Her calorific habit soon took a dangerous toll on her health and after developing gallstones she vowed to ditch the spicy takeaways for good. Now Lillian has lost an incredible 8st, slimming down to a svelte size 12.
