Stephanie Roberts suffered abuse almost every time she walked out of her front door - but now things couldn't be more different

Amazing weight loss!

Super slimmer: Stephanie Roberts has shed 11stone after getting abuse on the street

Small acts of kindness have the strangest effect on Stephanie Roberts.
Every time someone holds a door open for her, or smiles at her in the street, she does a double-take.
Because it has never happened to her before – even though she is now 37.

For most of her life, Stephanie hasn’t been used to strangers being nice to her or treating her like a human being.

All because, until 12 months ago, she was very, very fat.
Before whittling her body down from 21st 10lbs to 10st 12lbs , all Stephanie got from strangers was mainly cruelty.

Super slim: Stephanie Roberts can't believe the difference in people's reaction to her now

Every walk down the street was a hostile experience.
“I’ve had people spit at me in broad daylight, tell me I was ‘disgusting’. That was always their favourite word,” says Stephanie.
“They thought I should be ashamed for getting that big. People would loudly pass comment on my size and I’d shout back, ‘I’m fat not deaf’.
"But others would just abuse me to my face.”

If she wasn’t being bullied by strangers she was being blanked. But now the abuse has stopped.
Since she decided to go on a diet in November last year, losing more than 11st, the world has been a kinder, very different place for 5ft 7ins tall Stephanie.
