CASE STUDY

ROGER’S STORY 34 years old, 87kg:

I didn’t even consider myself a food addict but when I got to 179.5kg, I was handed a phone number to FA.

I was seeing a personal trainer and exercising up to six times a week but my knees and back had given out and I was in so much pain I was ready to try anything.

I sat in a room full of people who were skinny but could tell from their (before) photos that’s not how they started off.

I looked at their photos and thought ‘Wow, I don’t have to go under the knife (have surgery)’. It captivated me.

I sit in a meeting and hear things that help me deal with problems in my own life.

From that first meeting I could see everything they said was in me and I knew it was the place for me.

I was no longer alone.

FROM THAT FIRST MEETING I COULD SEE EVERYTHING THEY SAID WAS IN ME AND I KNEW IT WAS THE PLACE FOR ME. I WAS NO LONGER ALONE.
