A woman who shed 7st in a year has shared how she managed to lose weight while avoiding the scales and fad diets.
Make-up artist and nail technician Siobhan McDonald, 36, has spent her life helping other women look glamorous - but admits that she had secretly hated how she looked herself the whole time.
The mum-of-two from Cheshire would constantly worry what others thought about her weight, and at her heaviest came in at 18 stone (18kg).
But this all changed after a health scare in hospital forced to confront her unhealthy relationship with food for the very first time.
