A grandmother-of-two was turned down by an NHS weight-loss programme - because she was ?too fat?.
Belinda Clayton, who weighs 16 stones and wears a size 20, tried to apply for a weight-loss scheme through her GP but was stunned to be told it was only for the 'moderately overweight.'
The 61-year-old, who suffers fatigue due to M.E, described her rejection from the scheme like a ?slap in the face with a fish.?
Mrs Clayton from, Binchester, near Bishop Auckland, County Durham, said: 'I was told about ?Change 4 Life? by a friend about a month ago. She said that she loved it and it was so successful.
