Michelle McManus, 27
Weight: 13st
“I’ve lost 10st over the past three years but when I go to celebrity events, I still feel like the Incredible Hulk compared to the other girls.
'I feel like the Incredible Hulk compared to the other girls'
At 13st, I’m probably almost twice their size. It always hits home then that I’m still 4st overweight, but I refuse to get upset about it and can genuinely say I’m happy with my body.
When you’ve spent years wearing size 26 clothes, wearing a 16 feels like being an 8!
My favourite part of my body is my bum. It’s massive, but I love it!
I also like my 36G boobs. When I was larger, the different parts of my body all blended into one, but now that I’ve got a bust, I like showing it off.

I tend to wear empire-line tops to emphasise my curves. I’d never consider skinny jeans though – and could you imagine me in leggings? Horrible.
But I’ve got the beginnings of an hourglass figure and it’s great.
Dislikes
The part of my body that I’m not happy with is my upper arms, because I have a lot of loose skin. I’d consider having surgery to remove it.

I realise I’m going to battle with my weight for the rest of my life, but that’s OK. Some people can eat all they want and stay skinny – I can’t. It’s just a fact of life and I’ve come to accept that."
