Marianne James reveals she weighed 70 kilos at the age of 20
“I am really 50 kilos overweight. Isabelle, let’s say that one day, I don’t wish it on you, you are 50 kilos overweight and they start weighing you down with sandbags and all that… Just to get to the taxi that will take you back to your city when we’ve both finished. You might not be able to get into the taxi and to get out, your legs will start shaking. You won’t be able to get out of the car. If they tell you: ‘Oh it’s on the second floor’, you’ll go up the first floor and then your legs will shake. Right now, I’m exactly double my weight. I weighed 70 kilos at 20. I’m carrying two whole Mariannes. We are heroes but I don’t want a medal for that because if I had the choice, I would have liked to never have exceeded 100 kilos“, affirmed Marianne James.
