Mum-of-three Alannah Watkins weighed 15st, but is now 9stCredit: Alannah Watkins The mum-of-three, 37, says old pals don't recognise her nowCredit: Alannah Watkins Weighing close to 15st and only fitting into baggy size-20 joggers and hoodies, the 5ft 3in mum-of-three had grown used to gorging on chocolate biscuits and crisps for a quick breakfast. 'I just felt stuck in terrible habits, and needed to reboot my brain,' she tells The Sun. 'I was eating so much sugar it was a miracle I didn't have diabetes, and just felt like my life was over.' Fast forward nearly a year, and Alannah, 37, has shed an incredible 6st - weighing less than she even did leaving primary school. Her postman and old school pals now don't recognise her, and her son was so proud that she even got a hug for the "first time in his life" when they looked back at old photos. However, the dramatic transformation sadly turned out to be a disaster for her marriage to husband Antony as they came to terms with her "upgrade". Dangerous diet Alannah, pictured on right with pals, has struggled with her weight for yearsCredit: Alannah Watkins For years, Alannah had constant pains in her feet due to her weight, but struggled to change her gigantic diet. Breakfasts regularly consisted of half a packet of chocolate digestives washed down with tea with three sugars, followed by countless packets of crisps, chocolate bars, and energy drinks. She'd always cook a healthy meal for the kids - Lyla, now 14, Niall, now 12, and Roman, now 10 - but would finish all the leftovers. "I'd virtually stopped going out because I hated how I looked – I was simply fat and miserable," she says. 'I'd promise myself that next year would be the one when I changed, but I'd wake up on New Year's Day hungover and fat, and in my misery, I'd eat and drink even more.'

LAST New Year’s Eve, Alannah Watkins made the same vow she had made for the last 17 years.
But this time, she promised herself, it would happen.
Weighing close to 15st and only fitting into baggy size-20 joggers and hoodies, the 5ft 3in mum-of-three had grown used to gorging on chocolate biscuits and crisps for a quick breakfast.
“I just felt stuck in terrible habits, and needed to reboot my brain,” she tells The Sun.
“I was eating so much sugar it was a miracle I didn’t have diabetes, and just felt like my life was over.”
