An obese mother-of-two who lives on benefits says she needs more of taxpayers' money to overhaul her unhealthy lifestyle.
Christina Briggs, 26, from Wigan, says she hates being 25 stone but she can't do anything about it because she can only afford junk food. Meanwhile, exercise is out of the question because she doesn't have the funds to join a gym.
The single mother told Closer Magazine: 'It's not easy being overweight and on benefits. If I was well off, I'd be able to buy fresh food and afford a gym membership.
'I tried swimming but it cost £22 a month and it meant I had to cut back on my favourite pizza and Chinese takeaways.'
Unemployed Christina gets £20,000 in benefits a year and lives in a council house with her two children by different fathers, Helena, 10, and Robert, two.
She left school as a teenager after falling pregnant with her daughter following a one night stand.
The family feast everyday on takeaways, chocolate and crisps as Christina says they can't afford low fat foods. As a result, the mother is currently a dress size 26.
She has been warned by her GP that her health is in danger because of her size - medical complications relating to obesity include heart disease and diabetes.
Christina is desperate not to leave her two children without a mother and doesn't want her size to take her to an early grave.
But she insists 'it's not my fault – healthy food is too expensive'.

This is old news but still very relevant to today.
Look at all the crap she had in her cupboard! Who eats that shit day in and day out?
Is it tantamount to child abuse to feed your kids on this stuff? It should be.
I look around today at all the young women lumbering around in leggings and teeshirts because they're too fat to fit into anything else. It's a tragedy. At that age you should be fighting fit, full of energy and slim. If you can't be slim when you're young, you've no chance when you get older.
In my youth I was never heavier than a size 12 max. And back then a size 12 was more like today's 8. My mum had a 21 inch waist when she was young.
It's very sad and very disturbing, to be honest.

Very sad...more so for her children, who will probably grow up as obese and unhealthy as she is.

Have you noticed, in the younger generation, the girls are often twice the size of their boyfriends?
What makes young females eat the wrong foods and live an unhealthy lifestyle, whist the males stay slim...often skinny?
I have said this before, when I was at school there was only one overweight girl in my class...possibly in the whole year. To see a fat kid, was a rarity.

Typical, 'it's not my fault' syndrome. Well who's fault is it, who is shovelling everything into her fat face!

I do agree. But equally, getting older isn’t an excuse for getting fat as fuck either.

True, but the fatter older people were probably thin when they were young....as said, 30 or 40 years ago, obesity certainly wasn't the problem it is now.
Lack of exercise due to health, medication, poor circulation, can often be the cause of weight gain as people age.

I suspect a lot of it's down to booze too. Things like sweets and crisps were a treat we had once a week if we were lucky when I was a kid. And I didn't eat that stuff when I was younger because I'd rather spend money on clothes than food!
It was only after my knee injury I put on weight. But it's also true to say that there is no excuse for being a fat fuck even when you're older. I'm much more conscious these days of what I eat. I'm a salad lover and my other half is a pie and mash kinda guy. He never puts on any weight though, the bastard. My weakness is cake. :cakes:

I think the difference in that is at least they spent a good many years being slim and healthy. If you're fat from childhood, what chance have you got of living a full long life? Probably zilch.

My weakness is chocolate, love it.
But I eat what is called a Mediterranean diet mostly, it's just the sort of food I love...followed by chocolate.

We saw one the other day. The leggings were not only thin and showed every dimple of the cellulite but were flesh coloured so it looked like her bare arse.

Why do really fat people always wear leggings? They look gross 😝
