MAN WEIGHED QUARTER OF A TONNE; HIS CHEST MEASURED 78INS, HIS WAIST 58INS AND HE WORE SIZE XXXXXXXXXL
Tipping the scales at a staggering 38
stone, Craig Wood was morbidly obese, having racked up £15,000 debt to satisfy
his £200-a-day addiction to takeaways.
The 31-year-old admits he even shoplifted
chicken wings, stuffing them in his trousers to gorge on when he got home.
His diet was laden with sausage rolls,
deep fried treats, chocolate and biscuits - washed down with pints of
lager, Baileys and Jack Daniels.
But after undergoing gastric band surgery
on the NHS, Mr Wood has shed 20st - and now weighs 18st.
His body mass index (BMI) was 61 - almost
three times the recommended range of 18.5 to 25.

‘My mum would cook normal-sized portions,
but I’d spend all of my pocket money on chocolate and secretly scoff biscuits
in my room.

promotional offer on Snickers, where you could win a pair of David Beckham
