A BURGER King addict has lost 17.5 stone after ditching her two Whoppers a day.

Care assistant Paula Tilley had ballooned to 31 stone by the age of 38 after bingeing daily on burgers, pizza and cola.

In a single year the fast food junkie would gorge on 730 Whoppers and 1,000 litres of sugar-filled cola.

Surgery

But doctors said she would be dead within two years.

The warning served as a wake-up call so she saved up and booked to have gastric bypass surgery.

Paula said: “I didn’t want to be dead. I wanted to be well to see my nephews grow up and to have children of my own. I knew I wasn’t strong enough to do diets and stuff like that because I had tried them all. I knew I had to do something that was going to change my life forever.”

Paula, now 44, dropped an astonishin­g five stone in the first month and found the confidence to sign up for online dating.

She soon started chatting to David and within a week the pair were an item.

Paula, from Bridgwater, Som, is now saving to get excess skin removed.

The 13st brunette added: “It’s been exciting to see the changes to my body.”
