Lying in the sun during what should have been a blissful four-day cruise in 2023, Dylan Hepworth remembers how unhappy he felt. He sat and complained to his sister about being overweight, having reached 87kg on his 176cm frame and worried about continuing the trend of type 2 diabetes in his family.

'I'm fed up with being chubby,' he complained. At his lowest point he'd wake up in the middle of the night and eat 'half a freezer's worth of ice cream'. There was one night he downed four Cornettos and six Golden Gaytimes. The office worker had tried countless ways to shed the unwanted kilos - including the keto diet and Lite n' Easy - but 'nothing worked'.

The chat with his sister ultimately 'changed his life'. He arrived home and made an appointment with the GP immediately. 'I knew I had a problem,' Dylan told Femail. 'I was grossly overweight, putting my heart health at risk and staring down a possible type two diabetes diagnosis if I didn't get a handle on it.'.
![['Losing weight has also lifted a massive burden on my mental health. I'm more confident. I no longer hide my body under baggy clothes or dread taking my shirt off at the beach. For the first time in years, I can see the muscle definition from my gym efforts,' he said]](https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2025/01/24/02/94462329-14315187-image-a-10_1737688656906.jpg)
