women attempting to become worlds fattest.

I didn't read the article but I've heard the story before. I feel like maybe no one has seriously sat this woman down and reminded her that the chances of her ever losing all that weight once she puts it on is slim to none. And even if she has surgeries to help her slim down, the risk of death is still great.

I unfortunately was channel surfing over the weekend and got sucked into a show (I don't remember what channel) called Half-Ton Mom. It brought me to tears. The poor woman on the show was obese all her life and was in a car accident that left her bed-bound. She just kept eating, and although it was mostly healthy she kept gaining. It was uplifting that she was voluntarily having her story taped in order to inspire others to get help. If I remember correctly she was like 800 or 900 pounds when she finally found a doctor that would actually perform a gastric bypass on her (apparently most doctors will refuse to do it for people over a certain weight). She seemed like she would do well. Before surgery, she was able to do a lot of things on her own like sit up, touch her toes (she did it on camera it was amazing), do her hair an makeup etc. She got her gastri bypass and was doing great, but unfortunately a few days after the surgery she suddenly went into cardiac arrest and passed away. The show literally brought me to tears. And it was shockingly informative to know that the reason some obese people can't lose weight is becasue they really cant. Their metabolism literally stops doing what it should and they simply cannot lose the weight anymore.

I digress..... but i really hope someone reaches out to this woman and gives her a reality check and she changes her mind and lifestyle. Not just for her daughter, but for herself.

I really don't care what she does to herself but that child is being punished. She can't possibly take care of her being the big. Another issue i have it that the tax payers are supporting her too. I know she rolled down to get public assistance since she cant walk on her own. They should wire her jaws shut for 2yrs and make her lose the weight or cut her butt off. Why do i have to pay for her to over eat and i can't even take of my own family on the little i make. Totally pissed off.
