An obese man has credited his 21 stone weight loss for helping him to beat coronavirus and find love.
He said he had previously resigned himself to "dying alone" but while he was on his weight loss journey he met his partner Nicole Mulholland. I’d avoid gatherings like parties and weddings because I just felt so uncomfortable. I knew I wouldn’t fit into a plane seat so I never travelled, even though I really wanted to.
"I was also worried that if my mum did pass away, I wouldn’t be able to be one of her pallbearers, which was heartbreaking. "When I was 37st, my doctor told me it was too risky for me to have surgery because calculating the anaesthetic needed for someone my size was so tricky."It’s a completely different life to the one I had before - one that is full of opportunities, friends and adventures."
He added: "I dread to think how my body would have responded. It was a timely reminder of how important my health is."
