BBG News

Chrissie Swan has shared insights into her past, disclosing a heart-wrenching fact that explains her weight issues during her youth.

As an ardent follower, I recently tuned into the dynamic duo Fitzy & Wippa on Nova 96.9, accompanied by the graceful Kate Ritchie. The topic at hand was nothing less than intriguing: Turkey’s innovative approach to combat obesity through random public weigh-ins!

The new policy empowers health officials to approach residents unexpectedly in public areas like trains, buses, or gatherings, for weight measurement checks.

Chrissie expressed shock over the new law, labeling it as a “new wave of misery,” while also sharing her personal struggles.

She openly admitted that her first time being weighed in public happened when she was 10 years old, during a Weight Watchers gathering.

I needed to stand before Joy and Pam, who were wearing small badges, and tell them, “Well, it appears I’ve gained about 4 pounds.

Every week, Chrissie stepped onto a scale for everyone to see, which was part of the program’s routine. A team member would record her weight after she stood on the scales.

According to Chrissie, the public scrutiny only intensified the stress she faced during her adolescence as she was attempting to shed pounds.

More recently, Chrissie shared photographs that showcase the significant progress made during her weight loss trip, leaving many impressed by her transformation.

On Wednesday, the TV host posted a collection of photos on Instagram that were originally captured in the year 2005, which is exactly 20 years prior.

The images depicted Chrissie at the age of 31, a mere two years following her runner-up stint in Big Brother’s third season.

One image showed a much fuller-faced Chrissie, smiling as she posed in the passenger seat of a car.

The other, taken around the same time, showed Chrissie posing with ‘bestie’ Rebecca Thompson. 

‘I was a baby,’ the Nova radio star captioned the first image.

“She described a small, tasty infant wrapped in layers and foil. It seems the affection for big hoop earrings was instilled from an early age,” she commented further.

The old pictures emphasize Chrissie’s impressive weight loss story, as she is said to have shed approximately 90 kilograms over the last three years.

She’s undergone a significant change in her body shape, attributing it mainly to a revised eating habit, regular walks, and abstaining from alcohol.

In an interview with The Australian Women’s Weekly in 2022, she mentioned her significant weight loss of approximately 90kg, which had occurred since the start of lockdowns.

She mentioned that the significant changes she made in her lifestyle during the past year have dramatically enhanced her life in numerous aspects.

‘I’m not going to talk about the size of my a***,’ she said.

I won’t share my daily diet with you. Reading those accounts often leaves me feeling less than ideal about my own eating habits.

Indeed, Melbourne’s prolonged Covid-19 lockdown served as the spark that ignited my personal health and fitness journey.

She mentioned that we couldn’t have dinner out, visit a friend’s place, or have them visit us at home, and we also weren’t allowed to step outside a five-kilometer radius,” she said.

‘All we could do was walk, and so that’s what I did.’
