Slimmer of the Year – Courtney

Courtney joined Gymophobics because she was struggling with her weight. She was crash dieting with no exercise and didn’t know how to be slim and healthy. She said it affected her mentally as she went from drastic weight loss to piling on the weight at University. She attended a gym at university but found it overwhelming. She had no idea what she was doing and subsequently hid herself away, not wanting to be seen in public as she was embarrassed by the way she looked and had no confidence.

‘I love Gymophobics. I feel here that everyone is in it together. I love that I am encouraged to reach my own personal target’. Now I feel confident and when people ask me about my weight I am proud to talk about it.’
