Mum 'saved her life' by flying 5,000 miles from home after reaching 'breaking point'

A mum flew more than 5,000 miles from home to "save her [own] life" after "reaching breaking point".

Emily Price, 24, weighed 23 stone at her heaviest, regularly eating whole pizzas, chips and chicken nuggets. The mum-of-one said she would struggle to keep up with Harrison, three, and had to rely on family members to play with him.

Student Emily, from Newport, South Wales, said her weight affected her mentally and she reached "breaking point". She knew she needed to do something about it, so she travelled to Latvia for surgery.
