A woman who binge ate to the point where she avoided mirrors and suffered hair loss has shared how she managed to turn her life around – to become a fitness coach.

Sophia Moulson’s efforts in the gym have garnered millions of views on TikTok, but she hasn’t always been a toned workout expert.

The now-21-year-old used to feel “trapped in a cycle of self-doubt and insecurity” – and turned to food to quell her worries, often binge eating.

Unhappy with her appearance and health, Sophia joined her local gym and started to see results – which has since led to a complete change in both her physique and career.

“I was so uncomfortable in my own skin and hated my appearance,” Sophia, who lives in the south of England, told What’s The Jam.

“I had zero self-confidence, and I’d avoid social situations because I felt embarrassed and didn’t want anyone to see me.

“I got so set in my ways of wanting to stay home and eat whatever I could.

“Then, when I would see myself in the mirror and feel uncomfortable, I would eat more to comfort myself.

“My turning point came when one day I was sitting there realising all of my clothes wouldn’t fit.

“I felt so unfit I couldn’t walk far without being out of breath, and I kept dreaming of a life which was so far from my reality.

“My hair was falling out due to stress.

“I didn’t feel like me – and I didn’t recognise myself.

“I realised I had to make a change, otherwise I would regret it later on in life.”

Weighing 12st, Sophia committed to going to the gym three times a week from September 2023.

She said: “Everything changed when I discovered the gym and a fitness-focused lifestyle.

“[I started] only wanting to lose weight.

“It felt so challenging and I wanted to give up as I’d been to the gym on and off for years, but only stuck at it for a week or two tops.

“This time, I told myself I needed to keep going and push through the hard times and feeling uncomfortable.

“When I realised I had stuck at it for a month and started to enjoy it and the routine, I started looking forward to going to the gym.

“At first, it was intimidating, but over time, I fell in love with the process.

“I started to see changes, not just in my body, but in my mindset.

“Fitness gave me a sense of purpose and taught me discipline, resilience, and self-love.”

When she hit the three-month mark – enjoying a mixture of cardio and weight-lifting – Sophia started to see results.

She also started eating in a calorie deficit, focusing on getting her five-a-day of fruits and veggies.

Sophie even upped her workout regime to five/six days a week, and over the past year-and-a-half has dropped 38lbs.

Now weighing 8st 9lbs, the young woman is super toned and often shares inspirational clips on TikTok, where her videos have been viewed up to four million times.

Having previously worked as a barber, Sophia decided to change her career and focus on helping other people achieve the same success she has in the gym, becoming a fitness coach.

Sophia said: “This journey has completely transformed my life in ways I never imagined.

“I’ve grown into a more confident, happier version of myself, and now, I’m using my experience to help others.

“As an online coach, I’m passionate about guiding people through their own transformations, showing them that it’s possible to break free from the struggles I once faced and create a life they truly love.

(Jam Press/@sophclarefit)

“Life has been the best it’s ever been – I feel so much happier, healthier and more confident since losing weight.

“Having strength and actually being able to do things I couldn’t do before has been life-changing.

“Even down to something so minor as being able to push myself up out of a pool again, being able to run and enjoy it!

“I’ll forever be thankful to my past self for this.”
