Alan Abela-Wadge, a former PN candidate and councillor, shared his amazing weight loss journey on his social media, receiving a shower of praise in response.
Wadge went on to explain how he began his journey to better health in 2020, revealing that he was a ‘super obese 200kg+, chain smoking 33-year-old that suffered from high blood pressure that couldn’t walk for more than 5 minutes without sitting down.’
However, he has ‘finally hit double digits’ he wrote, saying that for the first time in his adult life, he is wearing under 100kg. ‘What a journey it’s been so far.’
‘I clearly remember going for a routine check up to my doctor and he looked worryingly at me. He told me bluntly that if I continue this path, I wouldn’t live past my 40th birthday.’
Upon hearing this, he threw away his cigarettes and did not touch one since. He went on to research and opted for a gastric bypass and started a pre-op diet. ’This is a way of life now!’
‘This is not a race, this is a marathon. A marathon that never ends. We only have 1 body, let’s ensure that we give it its best chance to last us as long as possible.’
