A carer who was tormented by classmates as a teenager for eating 15 doughnuts a day has beaten the bullies after shedding more than 16 stone. Clara Barrett, 31, tipped the scales at a 29 stone due to a diet of custard doughnuts, chocolate bars and unhealthy takeaways.
She was mercilessly picked on at school by bullies who cruelly branded her "fatty", pulled down her trousers and even stabbed her with a compass. And on one occasion a passenger in a car hurled a takeaway container at her - hitting Clara full in the face leaving her covered in noodles and sauce.
But it was following a break-up with her husband that Clara decided to turn her life around and enlisted the help of a personal trainer in 2019. She has since managed to slim down from a size 36 dress to a size eight losing more than half her body weight as a result of a exercise and a change of diet.
