'It's brilliant to not look like one of the doughnuts I sell': Size 30 Greggs worker who ate two sausage rolls every day for breakfast ditches snacks for soup and drops 10 stone in 10 months
- Stacey Nugent piled on the pounds while working in Greggs
- She reached 20st snacking on the bakery's sausage rolls and baguettes
- Stacey switched to a diet plan and lost 10st in as many months
A
size 30 bakery worker who piled on the pounds by snacking on the stock
has lost 10 stone in as many months by giving up eating what she sells.
Stacey
Nugent, 24, from Toddington, Bedfordshire, lived off a diet of
doughnuts and baguettes every day at her job in Greggs - starting the
day with two sausage rolls and a bacon bap.
Making
the most of her staff discount, she feasted on the pastry goodies - and
put on so much weight that she tipped the scales at 20 stone and
struggled to squeeze into her clothes.

Stacey
Nugent, 24, piled on the pounds working at Greggs bakery reaching a
whopping 20st (left), but she has since given up the greasy snacks and
dropped 10st (right) in as many months
At
her heaviest, Stacey was used to snide remarks about her weight from
strangers in the street and being unable to find outfits on the high
street to fit her frame.
She
signed up to the Cambridge Weight Plan diet and swapped biscuits,
pizza, coke and pastries for healthy soups, sandwiches and grilled
chicken salads.
Stacey
said that she would begin to snack on unhealthy treats as soon as she
walked through the door at work, and continued to do so throughout the
day as it was easier than making a meal.
She
said: 'Every morning I would head to work and it would just be normal
for me to fill up on whatever the customers were having.
'It was quicker and easier to grab a sausage roll or a scoff a jam doughnut than make a proper meal.'
The 24-year-old swapped breakfast of two sausage rolls and a bacon bap for a Cambridge weight loss plan
Stacey, pictured at a size 30, said she would use her staff discount to snack on baguettes and doughnuts
Stacey
said that as she continued to feast on the baked goods she noticed her
clothes becoming tighter to the point where she began to struggle to
find outfits to fit.
'Over the course of a couple of months it really added up and my uniform was getting tighter and tighter,' she said.
'The only place I could find clothes big enough was in supermarkets - I lived my whole life around food.'
Stacey said that even as she realised she was gaining weight she still found it hard to resist the convenience of the fast food.
Stacey,
pictured at her heaviest, weighing 20 stone, she knew she had to change
her ways after people began to point and stare in the street
Stacey said since reaching a slender size 10 she no longer has any problems finding clothes
'In the evenings I'd bring home snacks because I was so tired from being on my feet all day I couldn't bring myself to cook.'
It
wasn't until she became so big that strangers began to point out her
size that Stacey finally realised that something had to be done.
'It
really hit home when people were staring and pointing in the street - I
couldn't believe I had become such a spectacle,' she said.
'It was so embarrassing I knew I had to do something.'
Fed
up of always being the fat friend, Stacey decided to fight the flab by
giving up snacking at work completely and taking on a radical diet.
The 24-year-old says she could never imagine going back to her old eating habits
