Mum looks unrecognisable after ditching fizzy drink habit

A mum who used binge eating as a coping mechanism when three family members died looks unrecognisable after losing more than eight stone.

Sara Hennigan, 43, lost both her parents and brother in just five years. The mum-of-two said she would take a huge bottle of fizzy pop to bed, along with a family bag of crisps and a big bar of chocolate as a form of comfort.

At her heaviest, she weighed 18 stone, and at 5ft 3in, her BMI said she was morbidly obese. After experiencing so much tragedy, Sara decided to use her late family members as inspiration, and began to turn her life around.
