What will our eyes not see! wonder where Daily mail gets these stories from, but at least they give me something to talk about abi.
For most of us, a slender waist is the product of a careful diet and plenty of exercise but not for this lady.
Michele has shrunk her waist from 25in (64cm) to just 16in (40cm) by wearing a corset every day for three years - even while sleeping!
And despite now having a waist smaller than most catwalk models, the German slimmer says she hopes to whittle her waist down to a shocking 14inches (38cm)! Are you for real! Please do not try this at home.
But Michele's tiny waist could prove to have serious consequences for her health, and already, she struggles to stand up without her corset, thanks to wasted muscles in her back and stomach. Her stomach is so constricted, she can't eat a normal meal and instead eats up to 10 small meals a day. Not that she's concerned: 'My life hasn't changed, just slowed down a little,' she reveals. 'Now my movement is more feminine.'Right now I'm a little breathless, changing corsets is like a high-performance sport for me'
However, doctors say that a waist bigger than 31.49in (80cm) could lead to serious problems, including heart disease. I just wish the doctors will make up their mind, big waist or small waist? I suppose moderation is the key really.
Recent figures show that nearly 57 per cent of British women have waists bigger than the healthy limit set by experts. Why am I not surprised.
But tests reveal that Michele's tiny waist is also causing problems, among them digestive troubles as her stomach is forced out of its natural position. According to Dr Rudiger Langer, specialist in internal medicine, the corset has also resulted in Michele having weaker lungs than is normal for a woman her age
.
'In time, it won't be possible to move without the corset, or in the worst case, it won't be possible to move in general,' he warns.
So is it worth it?
