A MORBIDLY obese mum who admits she once wanted to be the fattest woman in the world is finally shedding the pounds – after her toyboy lover gave her a new lease of life.

Patty Sanchez, 52, spent years piling on the weight with the encouragement of her feeder ex-boyfriend and would scoff over 13,000 calories a day.

Patty eventually reached a staggering 51 stone, but since splitting from her former chubby-loving flame, she has shed 19 stone – and bagged herself a younger man.

Now Patty’s new boyfriend, Bryan Johnson, 38, is putting her through her paces with daily workouts – and plenty of exercise between the sheets.

Patty said: “Bryan has changed my life. I’ve never felt love like this. He keeps me moving and active. Before I was too fat to do anything but now I have my zest for life back.”

At her biggest, Patty from Nevada, USA, would over indulge in greasy and sugary foods and kept her activity levels down to a bare minimum.

But now the mum-of-four weighs 32 stone and is continuing to lose weight.

Patty, who often relies on a mobility scooter to help her get around, said: “My ex would do everything for me. It got to the point where I was struggling to even walk to the bathroom and I realised that I was killing myself.

“My life needed to change.”

The relationship came to an end six years ago and Patty finally relaxed her intensive eating regime.

She slowly started to lose weight and decided to show off her smaller frame in some saucy snaps, which she posted to a Big Beautiful Woman dating website eight months ago.

Patty said: “Bryan messaged me and he was very sweet and gentlemanly.

“We clicked right away. He likes bigger women and appreciates my curves, but he encourages healthy living and he keeps me moving.”

The couple moved in together after just a few months of exchanging their first message and just three months on, Patty has lost just under three stone.

Patty said: “Bryan likes big women and we have a lot in common.

“I’m completely in love with this man. I’ve never felt love like this and I feel like Bryan has totally changed my life.”

Every day Bryan and Patty practice yoga and weightlifting for 30 minutes and the pair prepare healthy home-cooked meals together.

And as well as working out together – Patty and Bryan burn many calories in the bedroom.

Patty said: “We have a very active and adventurous sex life – we can’t keep our hands off each other.”

Bryan, a web consultant, added: “There are limitations because of Patty’s weight but we do what we can - I think that what we do get up to is probably too kinky to say."

Despite Patty’s shrinking figure, Bryan is insistent that his affections will not wane, and that he wants her to be healthier in the long run.

Bryan said: “I’m not scared she’s going to lose too much weight.

“Even though I have a preference for large women and that’s always been a thing for me, the reason I’m with her is because I love who she is not what she is.”

Patty says that her children love Bryan and he has been gladly welcomed into the family.

She said: “They are pleased to see me happy and living well and we have Bryan to thank for that."

Now Patty is looking forward to a slimmer future with Bryan.

She said: “I keep saying to everyone that Bryan is starving me but the truth is it’s just all the exercise – he’s really got me moving.

“I feel better than I have in years and it’s amazing being with a man who really appreciates me.

“I spent so many years gaining weight to please other people but now I’m living my life for me.”
