Obese chef who was driven to comfort eat by childhood bullies drops FIVE STONE to get the size 8 body of her dreams

Abbigail Atkinson, 28, from Hull, ballooned to over 13 stone (left) after regularly snacking on crisps and chocolate. 


The mother-of-two and part-time chef was called a 'fat cow' at school but dropped five dress sizes after being diagnosed with gallstones - and realising her unhealthy lifestyle was to blame. She now weighs 8st 11lbs (centre) since signing up to her local gym and swapping chips for salads. 'Looking back to before I lost the weight, I now realise that although I found comfort in food, my choices weren't good for me at all,' she said.
