After winning the 2008 Miss Chinese International Pageant, Christine Kuo(苟芸慧) hasn't been able to control her weight due to hypothyroidism. Even though she has a huge male fan base, people eventually nicknamed her “Fat Christine.” Even Christine commented that she is unable to tell if she is really fat or just fluid retention. Since the diagnosis of hypothyroidism, she has decided to take a long break from TVB to recuperate. Facing positively with the disease and losing weight, she is only living off from several thousands of dollars per month from her salary.

Several days ago, Christine was seen wearing a gray long sleeve shirt at Tsim Sha Tsui. Even with the loose long sleeve shirt, she was able to cover her "Michelin" shape body. After window shopping for an hour, she eventually went back home to her apartment in Tseung Kwan O. To save money, she spent $9.40 HKD to take the bus home.

In 2012, Christine's pay increased 10 folds after working with Aaron Kwok(郭富城) on a commercial and then received jobs left and right. Starting at the beginning of 2013, Christine suffered from mood disorder and then later diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Her weight was once over 170lbs.
