A mum who hid her food addiction from her family has turned her life around and lost an amazing nine stone. Jill Rutherford, 53, described herself as a 'secret eater' and says she began gaining weight at the age of 16-years-old during her first job as a seamstress.
Jill, from Newcastle, was 'obsessed with bread' and would do things like sneak off to the local fish and chip shop for a large cod and chips, basket of bread, and full-fat coke, before going home and tucking into a massive homemade dinner.
At her heaviest, Jill weighed 20st 10lb and once split the seams on her size 26 trousers.
