Aussie mother emerges from jungle after 17 days.
It turns out going on a bender then taking an impromptu two week retreat featuring hiking, swimming, crocodile combat and a high-protein low-fat fish-and-insect diet are a great way to go from 90kg (14 stone) to 74kg (about 11.5 stone) without spending a dollar on slimming clubs, meal-replacements or gym membership.
It is reported that she had proposed to her now-fiancée Heath two days before the start of her ordeal. Whilst she will be able to avoid the body-image and dress-fitting nightmare experienced by some brides-to-be should she be planning a traditional western wedding, she is receiving treatment in hospital for infected cuts, grazes, insect bites and 3rd degree sunburn (which she soothed by spending 3 days bathing in a creek).
I'm not recommending this approach, since she only found her way out (to about 30m from where she started) thanks to the trail of breadcrumbs (coloured markers) left by the search teams.
Many comments on Australian news websites do share a theme of doubt as to the veracity of the story, but a career as an active-lifestyle advocate could potentially be an option.
