A FORMER obese woman has dropped whopping 16 stone after leaving her feeder boyfriend.
The morbidly obese mum, 51, went from 51.5 to 34 stone after years of constant eating with the encouragement of her ex-boyfriend and online fans.
But Patty was hit with a reality check when she split from her former partner and she decided to change her diet and lifestyle for a healthier life.
"I realised the feeding relationship I was in and the squashing was benefiting others, but it wasn't for me."
Patty has shed a fabulous 16 stone since deciding to be healthier - and has swapped her 13,000 calories a day for a more average 3000.
She said: "The weight loss had a lot to do with my break up with my ex - I was being served every meal daily, and when we broke up I had to take care of myself.
"I never feared death before - it was something I never thought about when I was getting bigger and bigger.
"But when I reached my lowest and couldn't walk three steps to the bathroom without getting winded I was worried I wouldn't be there for my four kids and five grandkids."
She added: "My struggles didn't come full surface until I became single and had no one to help me and I couldn't cook for myself, bathe myself, or leave the house - it was very lonely.
"I started learning how to make my own meals, and chose the food I was craving instead of the food others wanted me to eat to gain weight."
Her diet now? The slimmed-down star said she's swapped high fat foods for salads, chicken and stir-fries.
" I try to eat very few carbs through the day. I have more control over what I eat now and I feel so much better."
