A mum whose weight spiralled out of control following her nan's death has since lost an incredible six stone using her grandparent's wartime recipes. Dee Wright described her nan's house as her 'sanctuary' during her childhood in Southport.
The 49-year-old said she was bullied in school and started gaining weight, with her grandparent's house providing a safe space where she could relax. As reported by the Liverpool Echo, she explained: “Bursting through the back door into nan’s tiny kitchen, the first thing that hit me was the delicious smell of our tea in the oven. She knew what I liked to eat, and I could tell the moment I walked in that it was my favourite: sausage quiche.
“My nan, Dylys, was gorgeous - a really special person and an important part of my life growing up, especially after my grandad died when I was eight. Every Saturday evening, mum would walk me across the road to stay overnight at nan’s - it was the highlight of my week.
