Paisley Dylan spent most of her 20s worried that people were staring at her. The now 30-year old lived with agonising back pain, intensely painful periods and couldn't even tie her own shoe laces.
She visited two different GPs about concerns she had over the size of her stomach, on both occasions she was told it was nothing to worry about, and she should lose weight. In the end, she stopped going outside, as she couldn't face people's stares and awkward questions asking if she was pregnant.
Paisley, from Cwmbran, lost three stone in a bid to shrink her stomach, but it made no difference at all. It had grown to a point where one woman asked her if she was expecting triplets.
