A SUPPORT worker who feared she would not live to see her children grow up has lost an incredible 13st 4lb, more than half her body weight.

Mum-of-three Lisa Eden, 46, was scared she would die in her sleep as she struggled to breathe at night.

She also found out she had type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure.

Her GP gave her three months to make lifestyle changes, or face going on medication.

Lisa, who lives with her husband and three daughters, says: "I was at rock bottom, both physically and mentally.

"I wanted to see my children grow up, and not leave them without a mum. I knew I wanted and needed to make a change, but I just didn't know how.
