For decades Hayley Short battled to lose weight and years of yo-yo dieting saw her try everything and anything, often with awful side-effects.
“I’ve always struggled with my weight from being young and was a size 16-18 when I started senior school,” she explained. “I’ve tried so many ways to lose weight and although it worked sometimes I soon piled the weight back on.
“One time I didn’t eat any food at all, just had milkshakes for weeks and another time I lost weight but I also lost my hair as it started falling out.”
