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. 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?
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.

This is a memoir translated from the Afrikaans best selling “Uiters Geheim”, by Kobus de Villiers, a South African engineer who worked on top secret projects. He recounts episodes in his life with a wry sense of humour, and older readers will recognize many of the references to childhood and growing up in the South Africa of that era.
“His accounts of what happened are hilarious. After 1994 he joined overseas companies that required his expertise. Through the years he made a major contribution to the development of new technology, but due to the strictly top secret nature of his work, his family and friends never knew where he was and what he was doing.

Is ek in die bol gepik of is ek nie? Hierdie is my verhaal met sy soet, suur, bitter en seer in die lewe. Ek kan sê ek het omtrent alles al beleef. Van vyfster-hotelle tot op straat slaap. Ek was van ‘n bestuurder op die myn tot ‘n hulpbehoewende. Jare lank het ek geglo ek is normaal – as daar iets is soos ‘n normale persoon – tot ek gediagnoseer is met Bipolar. Eers nadat ek medikasie begin gebruik het, het ek besef ek het ‘n wanindruk van “normaal”.
