In the past, Kirsty tried several dietary plans that didn't help her reach an expected weight. Each time, the young woman began to eat compulsively because of her emotions, which erased all of her previous efforts. A doctor advised Kirsty to lose weight, as her problems could have escalated and put her life at risk.
In February 2015, Kirsty used gastric bypass, a surgical procedure. The young woman also started a physical activity routine again and adopted new eating habits. This allowed her to lose 9 stone in a year. Today, Kirsty weighs less than half her previous bodyweight and feels much better about herself. The difference is impressive and Kirsty's health problems have been significantly reduced thanks to her efforts.
