Former Love Island contestant Dr. Alex George is proudly displaying his remarkable body transformation.
On May 6, the 33-year-old took to Instagram to share a series of photos showcasing the progress he has achieved in his weight loss journey. In his post, he opened up to his followers about the steps he took to enhance his overall well-being.
"I began by simply showing up for myself. That's all it took," he stated. "On December 4th, 2022, I made a commitment to myself to prioritize my own presence. Every day since then, I've dedicated myself to showing up. Whether I could give a little or a lot, I ensured I showed up for Alex, every single day."
"Stepping into the gym or lacing up my trainers always felt like a victory in itself, because overcoming that initial hurdle was the hardest part. Whatever followed was a bonus. By showing up, I allowed myself to progress," he continued.
Dr. Alex, a practicing physician originally from Wales and residing in London, gained prominence in 2018 as a participant in Season 4 of the U.K. edition of Love Island. Since then, he has utilized his social media platform to chronicle his journey towards better health. Notably, he has refrained from focusing on his weight, emphasizing his desire to avoid fixating on the numbers.
The reality TV personality revealed that he underwent a "life-changing" weight loss journey by prioritizing nourishment and eliminating toxic elements from his life.
"A few years ago, my health and my life were on a downward spiral," George revealed. "By prioritizing my presence, I confronted my issues with alcohol, battled my inner demons, shed the weight, and rediscovered my passion for physical activity. Through this journey, I've formed new connections, explored new interests, and most importantly, discovered my true self and aspirations in life."
"Every morning I rise, making a commitment to prioritize myself for yet another day. It's a daily pledge," he concluded his post. "If you do this consistently, you'll witness how your life transforms for the better. Promise to show up for yourself. And observe the positive changes unfold 💙"
On April 18, George marked 500 days of sobriety, sharing the milestone on Instagram. While he didn't battle addiction, he acknowledged the detrimental impact alcohol had on his health and well-being.
"Embracing sobriety has been akin to receiving a warm embrace from a cherished old friend," he shared. "I've disregarded society's notion of 'fun.' Instead, I've discovered new interests and passions in my thirties, like running and motorcycle riding. I engage in meaningful social interactions with friends, and I feel immensely more present and empowered in life. It's never too late to step off the roller coaster. If you're considering it, I say, go for it."
George expressed gratitude to those who have supported his journey toward a healthier lifestyle and applauded anyone embarking on a similar path.
"Opting for sobriety is the greatest choice I've ever made," he declared. "Whether I reintroduce alcohol into my life in any capacity remains uncertain, but I'll never return to the way things were. Life is more vibrant this way."
The Quran - Chapter Al-Fath : 28
He is the One Who has sent His Messenger with ˹right˺ guidance and the religion of truth, making it prevail over all others. And sufficient is Allah as a Witness.
The Prophet Muhammad had to play dual roles: one was that of a prophet (who strives to spread the message of God) and the other was that of the final Prophet, i.e. no other prophet was to appear after him.
In his former capacity he had to do the same work as other prophets, namely to declare the oneness of God, to warn and to give good news about the Hereafter.
The latter role was different in that it required him to create those historical conditions which would be conducive to and a guarantee of the protection of both the Book of God and the prophetic traditions.
No situation should occur which would necessitate the appointment of another prophet. It was thus a requirement of this second role that his dawah work should not end with a simple ‘declaration’ but should reach the stage of ‘revolution’—revolution in the sense that change should be brought about in the history of the world.
Those conditions should come to an end under which, time and again, God’s guidance had been obliterated or distorted, thereby necessitating the selection of a new prophet to restore the divine guidance to its original form.
