I am 36 years old and for many years I weighed 197 kilos. My friends and family have always encouraged me to do something about it. I work as a DJ, surrounded by hundreds of people – it can be quite an uncomfortable situation for me with people staring and looking at me weirdly.
I was always lucky enough not to have any health implications but still my doctor always suggested, “Iraklis, you should lose weight even if you are not on any medication, obesity is a health problem. Prevention saves lives... We are not young forever. We are getting old and our body will not react the same in the future”. My life started to become more difficult because of my weight. I didn’t recognise myself, I was not able to walk, breathe normally and it was difficult for me to sleep. I could not even tie my shoelaces.
My friend, Sakis, actually persuaded me to start Cambridge Weight Plan, he showed me a couple of photos of previous clients. I became the mythical Hercules and began my journey. I passed one by one all the feats from the Nemea lion to the Diomedes’ mares. There was no regret but only gratitude for my progress.
I used to eat huge amounts of junk food at inappropriate hours. Once I started CWP, I enjoyed the wonderful tastes of the products, I was happy and it even covered my need for sweets. Several times, I felt I wanted to eat out of emotion, I had people telling me I wouldn’t reach my goal and I was scared of failing!
Each day that went by, I didn’t cheat, I wasn’t pessimistic and I gradually started to notice the changes. I started to become more active and finally enjoying life. The victory of winning the Slimmer of the Year 2017 award in Greece was a battle that I won. People saw my fight, believed in me even when they saw me with 100 kilos extra on my shoulders. I thank you all.
My family and friends have shown how proud they are too. My social life has changed forever, my self-esteem has improved. I will always thank my Consultant Despoina Varkari for her unstoppable support in our weekly sessions.
She has empowered me to become the captain of my diet to avoid food temptations. My final message is ‘’Thank you Cambridge Weight Plan because I love life and I want to live it!’’
The weight lost and/or timeframes are particular to this slimmer. Everyone’s weight loss journey is unique to them.
