Thomas McIntyre was once a professional footballer. But after leaving the sport, his life changed dramatically. Deprived of his previous regime and physical activity, 43-year-old Thomas began to rapidly gain weight.
At one point, the scale showed a terrifying 196 kilograms.
“I knew I was getting fat,” Thomas recalls, “but I only realized the full extent of it the day I got stuck in the turnstile. It was humiliating. People were watching, some were laughing. That’s when I realized I couldn’t live like that any longer.”
He had tried to lose weight many times before: he went on diets, changed his diet drastically. But the constant feeling of hunger led to breakdowns. Each time, he not only regained the lost kilograms, but also gained new ones.
The turning point came not only because of an awkward incident, but also because of the support of his girlfriend Claire.
It was she who helped Thomas build a new, sustainable system: balanced nutrition, moderate exercise and, most importantly, self-care.
Gradually, the weight began to come off. Thomas began running three times a week, walking the dogs, and getting out of the house more often. The physical changes were obvious, but the biggest changes were happening on the inside.
Thomas now weighs 86 kilograms. He lost 110 kilograms. His story is not just a story about losing weight. It is a story about a second chance, which began from the most unexpected point – a stuck tourniquet.
