He said: 'My mum was amazing - always scrimping and saving to make ends meet. We ate what we could afford - Spam and mash, egg and chips, mincemeat stew.
'We ate fruit and veg and my relationship with food was completely normal. At school I was bullied about having big ears. I didn't fit in and I hated being there, which caused problems.'
By the time he was 13, he was skiving so much authorities threatened to take him into care.
Instead, he was sent to a private school for troubled teens in Hampshire. But then tragically, when he was 16, his mum died of double bronchial pneumonia.
'It was a total surprise. She'd been in and out of hospital with diabetes and severe asthma, but we never expected it.
'I felt so sad and guilty for the hassle I'd caused her. I started eating to ease the pain and before I knew it, I was binging every time something upset me.'
Mr Martin said he would spend an average of £30 a day on food and by the time he turned 25 'was a complete mess'.
'I was getting bigger but didn't notice until I could no longer fit into the extra large joggers and T-shirts on the high street.

What a load of BS. He didn't fit in...so what, thousands of kids don't fit in but they don't get sent off to private schools for
troubled teens....that tells its own story. Sounds like a spoiled brat.
His mother had been in and out of hospital with Diabetes and severe asthmas and her death came as a surprise? they didn't expect it? Oh come on ....please. Someone who is in and out of hospital with severe asthma and diabetes clearly is a very ill person and at 16 years of age: that's old enough to realise that.
He didn't notice he was getting bigger..... what ?!! Did he suddenly go from a size M to XXXXXXL overnight then. His waist went from 34 to 6ft in the space of a few months?
Nothing quite like playing the innocent victim now with the 'I feel guilty about mum' crap.
first he felt guilty about mum...then that went from binge eating everytime anything upset him. Good god.....most people cope with things that upset them: they don't put on 30 or 40 stone and then expect everyone else to bail them out.
Pathetic.
