I'm only half the man I used to be

A MAN whose size meant he couldn't fit on the rides at Disney World has revealed how he lost a staggering 16 stone.

Ben Clark, 35, tipped the scales at more than 30 stone and had a 48 to 50 inch waist. He realised the need to take action on his weight when he was unable to board rides at Disney World during a trip to Orlando, Florida, in September 2022.

The following month he travelled to Poland for gastric sleeve surgery and forked out £5,000 on the procedure, including flights and medication. He went on to lose a huge 16st 7lbs and can now fit on the rides with ease - and even landed his dream role as Prince Charming in Cinderella at the Taylor Hall at St Lawrence College in Kent.
