An obese woman has lost 9st after an addiction to junk food left her £1.5k in debt. Louise Brown, 27, from Surrey, was so addicted to pizza and battered sausages that she ran up eye-watering debts on credit cards to fund her £20-a-day fast food habit. But after gorging on leftover pizza from a wheelie bin, the 21st 7lbs singer decided to curb her addiction for good and underwent a gastric bypass funded by her parents. Now Louise is a slinky size 12 and weighs a healthy 12st 7lbs. She said: "On the surface, I had a happy life. I had a good job, a lovely family and lots of friends. "But I was leading a double-life. Unknown to my loved ones, my food addiction was spiralling out of control. I was killing myself slowly.
