Woman weighing 33-stone and victim of 'soul-destroying' fat-shaming loses incredible 20-stone

A super-slimmer who faced repeated abuse has lost a massive 20-stone after joining Slimming World. Harriet Peacock was the victim of 'soul-destroying' fat-shaming as her weight soared to 33-stone.

One incident saw her "humiliated" when she was unable to get back up following a physical attack that involved a group of cruel yobs pushing her over. The abuse resulted in Harriet becoming increasingly "withdrawn" from society with her focus being only to associate with people she knew and trusted.

However, as reported by WalesOnline, her life has changed since joining Slimming World. After shedding 280lbs, she is now confident and equipped with a bucket list of challenges covering everything from riding a rollercoaster to bungee jumping.
