I used to spend nearly £3k a year on takeaways - but lost 8st after a stranger's cruel abuse

A former takeaway addict who spent nearly £3k a year on fast food decided to lose 8st after a stranger's cruel comments.

Makeda Roberts, 27, began her weight loss journey in January 2021 after a man called her a "fat b***h". The abusive remark led Makeda to joining Slimming World. She also started 'at home' workouts.
