They say its because of food addiction: ( addiction is slow suicide, even when food is your fix.)
ADDICTED TO FOOD
Pauline, who lives with her son Peter and partner Chris Decourcy, 43, a lorry driver, makes no excuses and does not blame her weight on her metabolism.
The truth, she says, is that she was simply addicted to food.
'Food has obsessed us since we were kids,' adds Sharon, who is a full-time mother and lives with her partner John Keeble, 47, and her daughter Jessie, 12.
'Most of my childhood memories are of food: of cooking cakes with mum, of raiding the fridge when my parents were asleep.
'I never felt satisfied by a meal, and I could always eat a bit more. One of the reasons this operation really appealed to me was because I would finally feel full after eating.'
The sisters went from being large teenagers to even larger young women - and their addiction was slowly been killing them.
Earlier this year, Georgina was warned that unless she lost weight she would die within ten years because of the strain her weight was putting on her heart.
Sharon has been unable to have an operation to remove an extremely painful inflamed fallopian tube because major open surgery on a woman of her bulk would be too risky. Pauline's very high blood pressure put her at increased risk of a heart attack.
