 Christelle
"I can do things I could never do before"
Getting in and out of cars, airplanes and baths are just a few things that most people take for
granted……..….not if you weigh 116 kg.
 Christelle Badenhorst, 32, overweight since a child, weighed more than 116 kg when she and her boss went on a business trip to Hong Kong.
“The normal airplane seatbelt didn’t fit, and I had to be given a seatbelt extension. I was terribly embarrassed, especially as my boss is a large man and his seatbelt fitted him! Shortly after our return, my husband bought a new car. Again, the seatbelt didn’t fit. I felt like seatbelts were sending a message to me!”
Like most overweight people, Christelle had been on numerous diets, but the weight always piled back on and she had become desperate.
“I joined SureSlim in November 2004 and lost 47 kg in 18 months. SureSlim taught me which foods affect me negatively. It makes sense that diets should vary from person to person as we are all different. They also changed my eating times. In the past, I often missed breakfast and would buy sweet pastries from the snack vendor at work. Now I pack a healthy lunch instead.
I can do things I could never do before - my husband and I are even planning to go skydiving! And, best of all, we have decided to start a family.“
