A woman who used food as a drug before shedding 15 stone said she now needs £80,000 skin removal surgery.
Stephanie Smith, 35, weighed over 27 stone at her heaviest and wore a size 28 - XXXXL - by the age of 27.
After entering a relationship which caused her mental health to spiral, food became Stephanie's "drug of choice" - as she gorged on sugary sweets all day long.
