    Her fiance probably has some good life insurance on her and has his fingers crossed.

    In my opinion it's an illness/addiction.

    I read "30,000 calories a day" and I literally screamed. Oh my GOD.

    That boyfriend is evil...how could he want someone he loves enough to get married to destroy her body that way? And enable and encourage it!

    that is so sad...

    well, that's just because you're Canadian. Silly Canuck.

    Why would someone aspire to that? It makes me shudder to think of the damage she's doing to her body! Arteriosclerosis, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, hypertension . . . it's insane!

    And who the heck could eat 30,000 calories?!

    those legs?! how can that be comfortable? I'm uncomfortable with my thighs having a bit of jiggle, but hers have layers!
    It worries me that no one is trying to help her. If she was aiming to be the skinniest woman on the planet, everyone would be trying to check her in to a hospital for an eating disorder, but because it's the other way around no one seems to care. This is just as disordered as the opposite extreme.

    I read this earlier this morning.
    I assume they have a 'feeder' relationship.
    Her goal to be the biggest woman... how sad.
    It's one thing to 'accidentally' get to that point - but forcibly making yourself larger? Disturbing.

    If you can't be on one end of the spectrum, there's always attention for being on the other.

    Good luck reaching the 1,200 pounds, honey, and I hope you survive long enough to enjoy your moment in the spotlight, err, floodlight, because I'm afraid it's gonna be a short ride to a large coffin from there.

    Seriously, it's her choice and I wish her a long and happy life, but I can't imagine she'll live very long at well over a half-ton. Her heart will have to work harder at rest than most people's do running a race.

    So, take out an expensive insurance policy, help her eat 30,000 calories a day, watch her have a heart attack, vacation in Figi. Can't think of any other reason a man would support this idea.

    Wow, there is so much fat shaming in this thread.

    What someone does with their life is their business. If it makes them happy, that is all that matters. If you were 300 pounds, would you like to hear people say the things to you that are in this thread? I doubt it. Don't judge other people for what makes them happy.

    I got sick just looking at the second picture. Her idiotic BF is clipping her nails? What else he has to do (clean) for her due to her weight. :sick:

    These people need lots of help and a nice room in a "looney place."

    I started off feeling very bad for her and worried it was a health issue that led to her severe obesity... until I read the sentence that she was on a quest to become the world's heaviest woman. Then I lost all sympathy AND all respect for her. Why do that to yourself and your soon to be husband? All the extra daily work, difficulties in moving around, etc., and the high likelihood she will die at a very early age. How truely sad.

    I don't understand at over 200 my self esteem was so poor I hated everything. I saw 30,000 a day and was like who can afford to eat like that. Does she not care about having a long life with her husband? To each their own, my personal goal is to keep my intake under 2000cal and to weigh under 140 but hey again to each their own!

    Her future husband is. He's a chef. (snare drum)

    Seriously, yes, she's suffering from an eating disorder, but until someone asks for help it's really tough to help them. She's a consenting adult making a choice, and it is her body she's doing it to.

    This. People don't take binge eating disorders as seriously as under eating disorders.
    I mean yeah for the majority of fat people it's not as serious a disorder as this, but so many people just assume "oh you're fat you must just be lazy", when there are other psychological factors such as addiction involved.

    Since assisted suicide is illegal, her fiance should be arrested, and her sent to a psychiatric hospital.

    It's not about having the right to do what you want with your body, or people having personal tastes; to damage yourself this badly is clearly a reflection of some deep seated psychological problem that she needs help with.
