A woman's toxic relationship with food caused her to lose nine stone twice in a dramatic yo-yo weight loss journey.
Ariana Omipi, 24, gorged at huge portion sizes and often had second servings at her heaviest.
She tipped the scales at 19 st, 11lb in 2014 when she was just 19.
But through extreme dedication, Ariana went from 19 st, 11lb to 10st, 9lb in 11 months.
She followed a rigid diet of keto and low carbs in Auckland, New Zealand.
However, the digital marketing manager soon piled on the pounds after again eating massive meals.
By the start of 2018, Ariana had ballooned to 21st, 5lb.
"It consumed me in a way that I can't even describe. It was an overwhelming hunger that I could not silence but only block out temporarily," Ariana told The Sun .

"My portion sizes were large portion and I'd constantly feel hungry so go back for seconds, thirds or sometimes even just make another meal."
Ariana decided that enough was enough and she decided to have gastric sleeve surgery last March to shed the weight once more.
The procedure involves permanently removing 90% of the stomach through keyhole surgery – and has been a resounding success.

She revealed she no longer has a constant feeling of hunger and weighs just 10 stone 7lbs.
Now she works out twice a week for 45 minutes with a personal trainer and switches between cardio and weights.
Ariana, who has a large social media following, continued: "I feel like I have control over food. I can cook something without feeling the desire or need to eat it.
"I have transformed far beyond physical appearance and weight loss this year.
"I am so immensely happy that I am excited about my life and what is to come for my future again."
