'I was tired of being as round as I was tall'

WHEN Catrina Flynn looked at herself all she could see was a 'little old woman who was as round as she was tall'.

Although her weight had varied over the years, the mum-of-two said she had spent her entire life being overweight. And once she reached a size 22-24, Catrina, who was just over 5ft tall, knew she had to do something to help her feel more comfortable.

"I felt that I should really try and lose at least a couple of stone", said Catrina, adding: "At just 5ft and a little bit tall I weighed 15st 9lbs. Something had to be done and I thought a couple of stone would be manageable and maybe then I could get into a comfortable size 14 instead of the size 22/24 I was wearing."
