Woman Eats 30,000 calorie Christmas dinner

Those of us on MFP are very fortunate, we've found a place that is helping us gain back control of our lives. I agree with Diane I too hope she is able to gain control over her life before it's too late.

As long as she's alive, it's not too late as we've all found out for ourselves finding MFP.:drinker:

What we all have to remember is that gaining weight is kind of her job in a sense, since she is a 'fetish model' of sorts. A thin 'model' diets and exercises to keep in shape for photoshoots... often times going anorexic to keep competitive. This woman's market just prefers fat over thin. Both her habits and those of the anorexic models are unhealthy.. Honestly, I feel bad for her.... I am guessing that at some point she started striving to be fat as a way of accepting herself, when in reality she needed to accept herself as being fat and then choose to lose weight or even just maintain it depending on what she felt was right for her...I wish she could have been happy at whatever weight she was before she started this weight gain thing. Her partner is/was encouraging her out of selfishness much like other partners would encourage diet and weight loss if they preferred a thin, toned woman. I really don't see her partner as much different from a guy encouraging his girlfriend to work out or eat a salad instead of a sandwich. Both are trying to control their partner's body to suit their own tastes. I'm not going to judge this woman or bash her because in my opinion you should be free to eat whatever you want and look however you want with nobody pressuring you or belittling you (we're all human, we all deserve to be treated with respect, no matter if everything we do is 'healthy' or not). However I do strongly disagree with her decisions because she is making a spectacle of herself on purpose for publicity, and her over the top habits are definitely re-enforcing the stereotype that all obese people are pigging out all the time on 10x the amount of food we should be eating. To me, fat acceptance is a great thing and I'm all for a fat person making a decision not to diet or obsess about calories, or not to work out more than what they enjoy .. but choosing to take actions to GAIN weight isn't good for you mentally or physically. Just my thoughts on the matter. I am sad to see people judging this woman so quickly, because everyone has their own problems be they big or small, and every single one of us could be judged just as harshly for mistakes in our own lives. "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone."
