Being diagnosed with a rare brain condition with the possibility of going blind had taken its toll on Charlie. Comfort eating and hiding away from friends had become his go to way of coping with his debilitating condition. As he grew bigger his circle of friends had got smaller. He would often shy away from social situations and stopped going out completely.
In 2021 Charlie reached his heaviest weight yet at 25 stone and he had also reached the point where he knew things needed to change. His mum had heard of my one-to-one weight loss coaching programme and encouraged him to get in touch, and we began our journey to wellness, confidence and a new beginning together.
Charlie is now 17 stone.
He feels as if his life has changed for the better. He now socialises with friends, goes for long walks and most important of all his neurologist has said his condition is improving and he can reduce his medication.
“This has all only been possible thanks to the massive amount of support I have been given along my journey from my friends and family and of course, Alex. I would not have been able to do any of this without her support and guidance, she is an incredible person and will go above and beyond to help me achieve my end goal. My life has ultimately improved since Alex has been guiding me and words are not enough to show my appreciation to her.”
And a finally word from Charlie’s Mum.
“We as a family couldn’t be any prouder of him as we watch him really enjoying life on a new level, going out with friends and doing things he would never have done before. He truly is a different man and he doesn’t give himself the credit he deserves for what he has achieved.”
