At her heaviest, Claire weighed almost 27 stone and was eating herself to death. TIMARU, NEW ZEALAND: THIS WOMAN was labeled a 'fat giant' because of her food addiction that saw her eat enough food in one sitting to feed a FAMILY OF SIX - but she's since lost over thirteen stone and is unrecognisable. Special needs caregiver and life coach Claire Burt (28) from Timaru, New Zealand, struggled with her weight throughout her childhood.

Finding it extremely difficult to perform everyday tasks such as putting on her underwear, washing, and walking, Claire was in both mental and physical pain and hid away inside her home for days on end, not wanting to face the outside world. She was also at serious risk of eating herself to death, having developed pre-diabetes as a result of her excessive consumption. Claire knew she had to change her life dramatically if she wanted to stand a chance of living a long and happy life. On April 28 2020, Claire underwent gastric sleeve surgery in which 80 per cent of the stomach was removed in order to reduce her appetite. In the 12 months since her operation, Claire has lost an astonishing 13st
