20st mother-of-four who was dangerously obese has lost half her body weight after her son drew her as a blob at school.

Meryem Davies, 37, from Pontypridd, South Wales, an online shopper at Sainsbury's, was shamed into losing 10st thanks to her four-year-old son Thomas' brutal honesty.

She now weighs a healthy 10st and is a trim size 10.

Meryem, also mother to Daniel, eight, and 15-year-old twins Jessica and Lauren, says: 'My children called me "fat" because they couldn't fit their arms around me when giving me hugs.

'It was upsetting but the drawing was the final straw and I finally realised how my children saw me.

'My cheeks flushed red with embarrassment when I saw it but I didn't have the heart to tell Thomas that his drawing upset me.

Is it really that easy?

Could you substitute mother for wife or girlfriend and wind up with the same results?

Is your girlfriend a blob? Draw her a pic and report back.

Sounds like this was far more effective than her posting a photo of facebook of some fat chick with text that says "If a man can't handle your size, he's not man enough" or some shite like that.

How is his handwriting impeccable but he draws like an autistic platypus? Something isn't adding up here. I think this is a scam, I'm not sending him any money.

It's most likely the kid's teacher's handwriting

Unfortunately for her, she still has a severe case of potato face.

we need more of this mindset. Shaming people into losing weight should be brought back instead of feeding the fatties (pun intended) feel good stories about being okay with being a fattie
