Leontios Kalogirou

Lost 64.50 Kg

From the age of 8, my problems with weight had started. As an overweight child, my parents started taking me to various specialists to lose weight. Whilst these people tried to help me and I made every effort, the worst thing was that after each failure I put on more weight, and now it had become psychological for me. I didn't want to go to school, and when I did, the other kids made fun of me.

I started to become very abrupt and reactive - nothing pleased me. In the evenings, while I was in some routine and the day might be going well, I would get up when everyone was asleep and go to the kitchen and eat everything. I started to have trouble sleeping and I often slept in a chair so I could breathe well.

We have our own business and, whenever customers came into the store, I would hear the comment, "What are you feeding him to make him like this?", "Why don't you do something for Leontios?" These words hurt me even more. I had now reached 155kg.

Now I live a completely different life. I feel happy. I can buy and wear what I want, move and sleep as much as I want. I am no longer a slave to food, and other things have become a priority in my life. I see my parents happy, as if the unhappiness in the house has gone with my weight.
