Dad who ate four bacon butties for breakfast and needed twenty tablets a day didn't want to leave house because of weight
A dad-of-five who could eat four bacon sandwiches for breakfast says he never wanted to leave the house as his weight shattered his confidence. Paul Barraclough, from Denton, Tameside, weighed 22 stone and was taking 20 tablets a day to treat several different health conditions - including type 2 diabetes, hypertension and gout.

Eight years ago, I was 22 stone, I had a 54in chest, a 48in waist and I’m 5ft 4ins tall. I had all sorts of health problems, just walking down the stairs or to the shops I’d be out of breath and I couldn’t wear normal-sized clothes.
Paul now takes just three tablets a day and says he feels the healthiest and fittest he’s been in 30 years. It’s all down to his sheer determination to eat healthier and exercise regularly. After attending a course to build up his self-esteem, Paul became a member at the Tameside Wellness Centre, in Denton. He now visits the gym up to four times a week for strength and cardio exercises - while also popping into the sauna and steam room when he can for some well-deserved relaxation.
