I ditched my diet and took up bodybuilding instead': Student reveals how she quit her quest to be skinny by bulking up

                                                                                                                                                                                                                        At her heaviest, petite 5ft 2in Sarah-Louise Hawkins, 22, from Chester, tipped the scales at 12st and 2lbs and was a size 16 (pictured left). But after years of failed cleanses and juice detoxes, Sarah-Louise ditched her dreams of looking like a skinny catwalk model - and turned to bodybuilding instead. Sarah-Louise, who says she used to hate her appearance, is now so proud of her figure that she flaunts her buff body in a skimpy two-piece at bikini contests (pictured right).
