Georgia Davis can not live her life normally like other teenagers. She started comfort-eating at the age of 5. She get bullying at school, she even got a nickname 'fatty' and 'tub of lard'.

Georgia Davis, from Aberdare in South Wales says she is addicted to over-eating, although she knows her life could be cut short as a result.

Doctors have warned the schoolgirl that she must lose at least 20 stone and she says her only hope is a US weight loss boarding school for obese youngsters.

Georgia, who at 5ft 6in measures 64D-62-74, said: "Doctors have told me I could drop dead at any minute.

"I can't walk more than a few steps without getting out of breath and a few months ago I developed Type 2 diabetes. When I look in the mirror I feel sad and go to my bedroom and cry.

"I know it's partly my fault. But it's so hard to stop eating. It's like a drug. Some people choose heroin but I've chosen food and it's killing me."
