50-year old South African woman, Lerato Pitso is believed to have the biggest backside in Africa. She shares the ordeal and challenges of having a huge buttocks and her near suicidal thought.
Life seems to be full of imbalances, while some people complain of too much, others never have enough. As some women cry over having small backsides and head for implants, some women somwhere in the world are having too much of it.
This is the case of Lerato Pitso, a 50-year old South African woman who is regarded as the woman with the biggest buttocks in Africa.
This endowment, she says has been almost like a curse on her as she bemoans about not getting real love from men, who only see her as a sex object.
“At one stage I wanted to commit suicide because I felt like I’m not good enough. Men only want to sleep with me. They don’t love me. Sometimes I hear a camera’s shutter and when I turn to see what is happening, I see people taking pictures of my backside,”
Pitso is currently on a crash diet and intensive physical excercises. She strongly hopes to meet the man of her dreams one day. She participated in the City of Johannesburg’s Weight Loss Challenge that literally saved her life. At the time of the contest she was weighing 120kg and had serious health problems.
“I’ve been battling with my weight since I was a teenager. I was on the verge of committing suicide. This challenge saved my life.
“I was tired of people being unkind to me, whispering as I walked past and others taking photos of me from behind. That was humiliating. I tried several diets. I would shed a few kilos only to put them back on because [the fitness trainers] never taught me how to eat properly”, Pitso said.
