Meet Rachel Cooper, a 36-year-old mum from South Wales whose life has seen a major transformation. Once caught in a cycle of holiday hangovers and struggling with her weight, Rachel took a bold step that changed everything—she quit drinking.

Like many, Rachel’s festive seasons were marked by indulgence, but in her case, it spiralled into chaos. Drinking took over, leading to a haze of regret and self-destructive eating habits. It wasn’t until she weighed 19 stone and felt the strain on her family relationships that she realised something had to change.

Fast forward to today and Rachel is celebrating over 400 days of sobriety. She’s shed an incredible eight stone, regained five dress sizes, and most importantly, won back the trust and love of her family. 🎉 Overcoming the initial void left by alcohol, she found peace and happiness in a life without it.

With some help from appetite-regulation medication, Rachel rediscovered her relationship with food, treating it as fuel rather than comfort. This shift not only aided in her weight loss journey but also reinforced her sobriety, illustrating how everything is interconnected.

Rachel’s story is a testament to the power of choosing health and happiness over temporary indulgence. Her journey is inspiring and proof that change is possible, bringing more than just weight loss but a whole new outlook on life. 🌟
