The 33-year-old put down the snacks and boogied away her belly at a Zumba class.
Dancing to a mix of salsa, samba and reggae has helped her shed six stone and drop from a size 22.
Now, three years on and happily married to partner Sid, she has given up her career as a beauty therapist and teaches Zumba classes five times a week.
She said: ‘It was getting to the point where a size 20 was too tight and I couldn’t bring myself to look at my real weight. I just cried standing on the scales.
‘Cream cakes were my favourite things and I was sat eating one at work when I realised I couldn’t carry on like this and I couldn’t get married at 18 stone.’
In three months she had lost 2st in time for her wedding, and through committed twerking and salsa she lost another 4st.
The mother of two, from Bewdley, Worcestershire, was even invited to meet Zumba creator Beto Perez last month.
‘I didn’t like working out or going to the gym but when I turned up to my first Zumba class it was completely different,’ she said. ‘It was like a party.
‘Nobody cared what you looked like or what you were wearing and I just danced away the weight.
‘The moves go with the music and the rhythms from all over the world. It’s been a great way to lose weight.’
