    Sexier And Happier When I Was Twice The Size
    Kelly Childs spent years dreaming of being slim but after losing 11 stone she says her life has been ruined.

    After turning down a gastric band to lose weight naturally Kelly hoped the NHS would come to her aid and help remove the rolls of skin left by her rapid weight loss.

    But after losing an appeal and unable to afford a private operation, Kelly says she would rather be fat again.

    Following a strict diet and exercise regime 31-year-old Kelly shrunk from a size 28 weighing 24 stone to a size 12 and 13 stone.

    But since her astonishing success on the scales rarely a day passes in which Kelly doesn't regret starting her diet.

    Quite simply, she insists she felt happier and sexier when she was fat.

    Friends and family find it hard to understand after witnessing her weight battle first hand.

    Mother of three Kelly said: "People think I'm mad when I say I was happier when I was fat.

    "But I feel no connection with my reflection in the mirror now. It's like it's not me and in a sense I'm grieving for the person I was, for the body I once had.

    "The rolls of skin I have been left with disgust me. The NHS won't fund surgery to help me look normal again and I can't afford to get the skin removed myself.

    "I'd rather be curvy than freaky. I've even considered putting the weight back on but I owe it to my husband and children to stay healthy so I'm trapped in a body I hate wishing I had never changed it in the first place.

    "Before starting a diet women need to know the reality of what it really does to your body. I don't look like I imagined I would at all.

    "My confidence, my sex life and social life have been ruined".

    Kelly's weight problems began when she fell pregnant with her first child Ethan, now 12.

    Sexier And Happier When I Was Twice The Size
    Kelly Childs spent years dreaming of being slim but after losing 11 stone she says her life has been ruined.

    After turning down a gastric band to lose weight naturally Kelly hoped the NHS would come to her aid and help remove the rolls of skin left by her rapid weight loss.

    But after losing an appeal and unable to afford a private operation, Kelly says she would rather be fat again.

    Following a strict diet and exercise regime 31-year-old Kelly shrunk from a size 28 weighing 24 stone to a size 12 and 13 stone.

    But since her astonishing success on the scales rarely a day passes in which Kelly doesn't regret starting her diet.

    Quite simply, she insists she felt happier and sexier when she was fat.

    Friends and family find it hard to understand after witnessing her weight battle first hand.

    Mother of three Kelly said: "People think I'm mad when I say I was happier when I was fat.

    "But I feel no connection with my reflection in the mirror now. It's like it's not me and in a sense I'm grieving for the person I was, for the body I once had.

    "The rolls of skin I have been left with disgust me. The NHS won't fund surgery to help me look normal again and I can't afford to get the skin removed myself.

    "I'd rather be curvy than freaky. I've even considered putting the weight back on but I owe it to my husband and children to stay healthy so I'm trapped in a body I hate wishing I had never changed it in the first place.

    "Before starting a diet women need to know the reality of what it really does to your body. I don't look like I imagined I would at all.

    "My confidence, my sex life and social life have been ruined".

    Kelly's weight problems began when she fell pregnant with her first child Ethan, now 12.

    WINEHOUSE FORCED TO COVER UP EXPLICIT TATTOO FOR GRAMMYS

    Apparently, the organisers of this year's Grammy Awards weren't just concerned about singer Amy Winehouse's drug use, but her risqué tattoos too.

    The Back to Black singer had to get creative with a black eyeliner pencil before her performance via satellite in order cover up a tattoo featuring a naked woman.

    So as not to offend any of America's more 'puritanical viewers', Amy drew a black bikini top on a tattoo of a buxom topless woman that she has on her left arm.

    Something she was able to wash straight off following her performance.

    Winehouse, 24, scooped five awards at the event including Best New Artist and Song of the Year.

    She has recently been receiving treatment for substance abuse after being caught on camera apparently using crack cocaine.

    However, with the singer's recent emergence from rehab as a seemingly happier and healthier person, it would seem that the soul sensation is cleaning up her act in more ways than one.
