chocoholic Clair Wills, of Selby, who works in a chocolate shop, has shed four stones in weight - despite continuing to treat herself to occasional chocolates.

Clair, who has now become a Slimming World consultant at Wigginton Recreation Hall near York, following her success, said she went to buy a suit for her god-daughter's Christening, picked one that was too big and then yelled at the top of her voice: " 'Excuse me, I need a smaller size!' I was so happy I could have cried," she said.
