A mum who used to eat up to 5,000 calories a day and spend £140 a month on takeaways says losing weight has helped her better look after her son. Emily Price, 24, weighed 23 stone at her heaviest - regularly eating whole pizzas, chips and chicken nuggets.
She says she would struggle to keep up with Harrison, three, and had to rely on family members to play with him. Student Emily, from Newport, says her weight affected her mentally and she reached "breaking point".
So she decided to act, changing her lifestyle and travelling to Latvia for £5,000 surgery. Emily now weighs 12st, eats 1,200 calories a day and finds it much easier to play with Harrison. And she says losing weight saved her life.
