Positive transformations should always be celebrated in today’s world. If someone has mustered the courage to go through with a personal journey then they deserve to be applauded.
Which is why I feel it necessary to share the story of 28-year-old Christine Carter. When she was dubbed ‘a hippo’ by her then-boyfriend, she decided to strip the fat from her body, resulting in an epic change that saw her get rid of an unsupportive other half and lose 150 pounds.
Her tale is certainly worth a read for anyone seeking inspiration …
When Christine Carter was called a hippo by her former boyfriend, she felt annoyed and challenged.
At the time, Christine weighed 275Ibs. It was then that the thought of weight loss first entered her mind. As per TODAY, she underwent gastric sleeve surgery in 2014 and managed to lose 50 pounds as a result.

Then, determined to return to the way she looked before, Christine began a strict routine of eating clean and exercising daily.
“I realized I was going to fail again if I didn’t fix my mindset,” Carter said.
“I realized that the surgery was only a tool and you can still ‘out eat’ it.”
She continued: “I didn’t miss a single workout and I didn’t have a single cheat meal, and I lost another 90 pounds by November.”
The product of her hard work is certainly a body to be proud of. And the most bizarre part of it all? When Christine began to shed the weight, her ex-boyfriend – the same one who called her ‘a hippo’ – was unsupportive of her objective. He started to grow jealous, and so she left him in order to help herself.

I think we can all agree Christine’s transformation is something special. What fantastic character she showed to be able to see through her journey after everything. If you’re impressed, you can see more from her at her Instragram page.
If you struggle with weight problems, or indeed any physical/mental issues, and have aims and goals of your own, let Christine be a perfect example that it can be turned around so long as you put your mind to it.
