Eighty kilos of shame

“Once a fattie, always a fattie.” Right?
After spending most of her life obese, weighing in at one-hundred-and-sixty-five kilograms (364 lbs) at her heaviest, Mart-Mari Breedt, software engineer and mother of four, lost just over eighty kilograms (176 lbs) in a mammoth battle against the scale. She then found herself in a frightening dilemma: how would she manage to keep the weight off and maintain her massive loss after she had spent her entire life as a morbidly obese person? All she had ever known was how to be fat. Being thin was a new and daunting experience.
In her dazzling debut memoir, Mart-Mari asks hard to answer questions: Can you recover from obesity? Is it possible to maintain a weight loss of eighty kilograms?

(From the author of “Eighty Kilos of Shame”)
Running is hard.
42,2 km is far.
For most runners running 42,2 km is a bucket list event. For Mart-Mari Breedt it was as well. This 41 year old software engineer, author and mother of four had already achieved a lot in her life: She lost 80 kg, became a runner, and authored and published her memoir. She loves writing and running and embraces the gifts that overcoming obesity has brought her. It is now time for her next goal: Running a marathon. Mart-Mari’s story might appear to be about her journey to the marathon finishing line – it is not. It is about how she made her way to the start line. She only realized this herself the day before race day.
42,2 km is far. 0 km is sometimes further.

“Een keer ’n vettie, altyd ’n vettie.” Nè? Na ’n hele lewe as ’n vetsugtige persoon, het Mart-Mari Breedt, ’n sagteware-ingenieur en ma van vier, net meer as tagtig kilogram verloor. Haar hardkoppige weiering om te aanvaar dat sy maar net weer haar gewig gaan optel, saam met ’n besef dat sy nie vir die res van haar lewe die skaal obsessief kan dophou nie, het gemaak dat Mart-Mari begin skryf het oor haar gewig se instandhouding en uitdagings. Haar skrywery het gelei tot ’n introspektiewe reis waartydens sy baie diep in haar psige moes gaan grawe en baie seer en ou emosies in die gesig moes staar. Op haar reis het sy haar opregte self ontdek, wat nog al die tyd begrawe was in ’n skuldlas van tagtig kilogram.

“Once a fattie, always a fattie.” Right?
After spending most of her life obese, weighing in at one-hundred-and-sixty-five kilograms (364 lbs) at her heaviest, Mart-Mari Breedt, software engineer and mother of four, lost just over eighty kilograms (176 lbs) in a mammoth battle against the scale.

All she had ever known was how to be fat. Being thin was a new and daunting experience.
In her dazzling debut memoir, Mart-Mari asks hard to answer questions: Can you recover from obesity? Is it possible to maintain a weight loss of eighty kilograms?
There are so many books on how to lose weight — an entire industry has been built around it, yet so little — apart from stick to your eating plan, keep exercising and continue to be perfect — is written about keeping the kilos off and maintaining one’s weight.
Refusing to accept defeat and realising that she cannot spend the rest of her life obsessed with her scale, Mart-Mari started blogging about her maintenance challenges, which turned into an introspection journey. In the process, she dug deep, confronting long-buried emotions. Along the way, she found her true self, who had still been hiding in eighty kilograms of shame.

After my husband’s passing, I was overwhelmed with questions and painful memories. In my grief, I rediscovered God’s love and guidance. I had lost all hope when my husband took his last breath, but through God’s Word, hope was restored. In this book, I share my journey of healing with Abba, Yeshua, and the Holy Spirit. My prayer is that God will also become real to you and bring healing to your body, soul, and spirit as He restores you fully in His perfect design.

Die verse en rubrieke in hierdie bundel saamgevat is geskryf tydens ons saamweestye en ná my man, Chris, se dood. Ons liefde vir mekaar, die natuur en ons daaglikse lewe word hierin weergegee.
Anderdag praat ek en ‘n vriendin oor mans. ‘n Man moet mens veilig laat voel stem ons altwee saam. As jy nie veilig voel nie, kan jy maar los. Veilig omdat jy weet hy sal saans seker maak al die deure is gesluit. Veilig omdat hy dié dinge onthou wat jy vergeet. Veilig omdat jy weet sy doen is beter as sy sê. Hy praat nie baie nie, hy doen baie. Hy kyk dat daar gereeld ‘n heerlike bottel Fenjal vir my in die badkamer is, hy koop hondekos as die sak begin leeg raak. Hy weet wat in die wêreld aangaan. Mens kan hom na enige plek toe vat, hy sal weet wat om vir wie te sê en ook wanneer hy net niks moet sê nie. Dis wat so lekker is van hom. Mens kan hom vertrou met jou lewe, jou buie en jou drome.

“Slampamperpad” is eintlik ‘n gedeeltelike outobiografie in vermomming. Dis ‘n onsistematies-gerangskikte beskrywing van ‘n stuk lewensverloop met groot ruimtes tussen-in. Dit wyk gedurig af van die tipies-outobiografiese verwysing na die self, en sluit ander se lewens in, ander se ervarings, ander se sienings. Meeste lesers mag dalk saamstem dat die genre ‘n tipe verwerkte reisbeskrywing is. Die roete is erg kronkelend, maar gelukkig darem besprinkel met skeute humor om elke draai.

Never should any individual be a casualty of somebody else’s mistake. Yet we are. And at no point in time should we wake up that we may not be who we think we are. Yet it happens.
For more than fifty years I battled in silence… not even knowing I was battling. All I knew was that there was a raging fire inside me, seeking to devour me… a fire I could not control. I could not seek help because I did not know what I needed help for. Then slowly things started unfolding, agonisingly cutting through my innermost being, piercing soul. The fifty-year-old me was still cuddling the five-year-old Bernard Robin October, desperately refusing to let him go. I just could not allow him to be hurt again, even if it had dire consequences for me at times. This book tells the journey of Little Bernard and me. We made it through, just barely. We could finally part in peace even without finding all the pieces, having dealt with the pain. I am sincerely hoping that my story will help others who might be challenged with the same pain, fighting the same ordeal.
The process is painful, but the product priceless!
