Sarah Jacob, 47, of Colchester, decided to embark on a weight loss journey after ending a previous relationship that she claims was abusive in 2023. The situation was so turbulent it left her housebound due to anxiety. She was left “broken from the mental abuse” and it was at this point that she found herself relying on fast food deliveries and the weight piling on, where she weighed 17.6 stone at her heaviest.
