Debbie sheds stones and gains her confidence

AFTER dropping four dress sizes, Debbie Dorrity is looking forward to the challenges of her new found career in counselling.

After losing over four and half stones on LighterLife in five months Lurgan woman Debbie is now enjoying the January sales searching for bargains in a size 12/14 instead of the size 20/22 she dreaded shopping for before.

Debbie told how the death of her mother from lymphoma cancer triggered her weight gain.

“I used food as a comfort,” she said.

“I ate my way up to a dress size 22. I was miserable and fat – there’s no comfort in that.”

Five years ago Debbie trained to become a counsellor, which she is now doing full-time. Losing weight improved her confidence and gave her this push.

She now motivates others in life to reach their own personal goals and aspirations.

Debbie’s commented: “I haven’t enjoyed clothes shopping in quite a few years, and it’s funny now when my teenage daughter is eyeing up my wardrobe. Isn’t life just great. The sky’s the limit in 2010.”
