A woman lost 18st after becoming housebound while she was "eating herself to death".
Karina Dunford, 37, said she ordered takeaways, ate chocolate and drank 15 cans of cola every day.
She became housebound and when she reached her heaviest weight - 29st 8lbs - she had to rely on her husband Ian to help wash and dress her.
Now, the woman from Bridgend in South Wales, has lost 18st 6lb in two years after embarking on a diet journey with Slimming World, the Liverpool Echo reports.
Karina said: "I had a rough time when I was overweight. I felt that I embarrassed my whole family.
"I was bullied and felt that no one cared about me.
“I was so unhappy and my health was getting worse by the day. I just wanted to stay in every day with my husband Ian and never wanted to leave the house."
Karina said she tried many diets but never managed to lose weight until she decided to join Slimming World in January 2018.
Her weight loss meant she slimmed down from a size 32 to a size 10.
She has also been named Slimming World’s Greatest Loser
Karina said: "Since losing weight my husband Ian and I have a much better life.
"Now I have the confidence to do things for myself and Ian doesn’t have to care for me."
Her eating pattern has improved thanks to her diet and she now eats more fruit and vegetables - while limiting processed food and takeaways.
She enjoys cooking and plans her meals for all the week - sticking to her plan.
Karina also decided to join the gym and her confidence has improved after losing weight.
