Obese woman wants to become world's fattest
Replies

I have to admit I was really grossed out by this. The sad part is she has a really pretty smile, but you can barely make it out because of the extra fat on her face. I feel really sorry for her. She needs help. There is no way you can tell me this is not a disorder.0

For those complaining about the lack of support from MFPers...know this. I am without a doubt most willing and ready to fully support and encourage anyone on this site regardless of their size or why they got here. I don't care if you gained 500 pounds on a buttermilk chocolate milkshake diet. The very fact that you are a member of MFP shows a willingness to change, even if the struggle may seem hard and even if you fall off the wagon.
However, a person who knowingly endangers herself with a daily diet of more calories than I eat in 2 weeks (!!!) and thinks this is okay must understand that there will be nobody supporting that lifestyle. If I knew her you can be damn sure I'd be offering encouragement to change her ways and help her every step of the way. But to try to prove that being that morbidly obese is not unhealthy is not only dangerous for her, but for any other over weight person who is subconsiously unsure of whether or not they are ready to make a change.
And I can pretty much promise you that if she turned up tomorrow as a new MFP member she would be surrounded by just as much support as anyone else. It is not her physical actions that bother me, it's the mentality behind it.
:happy: That's exactly what I was trying to say!0 -
I don't know if that's the same woman but I remember an article about a woman whose goal weight was 1,000lbs and it had a picture of her at a table with what looked like maybe 2 dozen fast food cheeseburgers and a pile of fries in front of her and mentioned she ate that pretty often.
There's a way to go about breaking the stigma or taboo of something, but hurting yourself, or really in this case just about committing suicide, is not the way to go about it. Yeah sure maybe you'll gain some fans, but a lot more people are going to think you're nuts or just want to wait for the day you die in the process.
Would I like people to stop harping on overweight people? Yeah, when it's unwarranted. Have there been overweight people who are fairly healthy? Yes, but that's a matter of age because even when we're thin, when we're 80+ years old we're all going to have just about the same problems and if you're big it can get worse. And some people are happy being fat, that's their choice but it's not something you try to make into a life goal or look like you're a martyr.
If all big people were guaranteed good healthy and quality of life we wouldn't have places like MFP or gyms or dieticians or anything else that's promoting losing weight and bettering your health.
Also someone made the comment about the possibility of her being on disability: You probably are right. I've known people who became too big to continue working or if it wasn't their weight, it was the health problems that came with it. My father had weight problems and never took care of himself (he also had diabetes but refused to follow the diet) and he ended up having a quadruple bypass, two other heart surgeries, a staph infection in his leg, and almost lost his feet. He ended up going on disability and had to quit working because his job involved physical activity, long hours on the road (he had also lost the sight in his left eye and hearing in his left ear during a minor stroke) and died of heart-related problems because he still refused to take care of himself.
Myself, I'm on disability and I had to fight the social security system to show them it wasn't my weight (I was maybe 280lbs at the time, but I'm short so it shows a lot) but another, non-physical aspect. I understand the disgust of the people when these large people start collecting government checks simply because they refuse to do something about their weight and eating habits, and depending on the person's mindset I understand the embarrassment of being on it, having Medicare and have doctors look you up and down. I'm 22, by all accounts I shouldn't be on it, but right now I have to be. Not because I'm fat and I think that's part of my motivation to lose, so that people won't group me with those people and assume I'm just another fat, lazy slob leeching off the government.
Sorry for the ramble on that subject, I felt like throwing in a few cents.0 -
so disheartening for her. to me, to others. sad,0

^^ Well said!
From the article: "Oddly enough, the woman believes she can do this while remaining healthy – and she insists that, right now, despite the fact she can’t move on her own..." :noway:
I feel sad for her children. It is too bad that she didn't choose a different path & come to a place like MFP.
I work on a cardiac unit & have seen people go through so much & more often than not, they fight to get healthy so that they can be there for their families. This woman needs help. While I agree it is her choice, she can do this to her body, her children did not choose to a part of this circus.0 -
i think this person is mentally ill. and i think it's sickening that she is trying to glamourize it - it's no better than being pro-ana. it's unhealthy.0

That being said, I'm no expert on this but under those sorts of circumstances couldn't child services step in and take them away? Technically she's leading a destructive lifestyle in a way similar to, say, a drug addict or alcoholic who finds nothing wrong with their behavior and if any other adult in the house is supporting her, really it's not creating a safe environment for her children. Whether or not they pick up mom's habits is debatable, but really they're watching their mom hurt herself and that can affect them outside of the home.0 -

I'm fairly sure people are more concerned about the facts such as her health and the environment being created for her children rather than what's opinion.
But hey, enjoy your pedestal.0 -
Ms Simpson makes money by running a website where men pay to watch her consume fast food.
s i c k.
I don't know what's worse - her "goal" or the sickos that get off on watching her eat?? Really...that is exciting??? Gross!
I think it is suppose to be a laugh: "haha we can pay to watch the pig stuff its face" kind of thing.. =/
But your right it is sick.0 -
THIS^^^^ I have to think, HAVE TO THINK she is mentally ill. How could you do this as a single parent? How careless and heartless would you have to be. Who is paying for all this food by the way? Those poor babies. They are teenagers....but as the mother of two sons...my heart BREAKS for them.This just pisses me off. This woman should be ashamed of herself for doing this to her kids. The comment about making sure her sister was on standby for her kids says to me that despite her denials, she knows what she is doing is dangerous and likely to kill her. She's selfish, and her children should not be part of this at all.0 -
Sigh. Hope the fire department there has a plan to remove her from her house/apartment when she needs to go to the hospital. And I bet she'll be the first to scream about how undignified it was to be transferred to the hospital in a uhaul instead of an
amber-lamps
****ing people. **** like this is how Fire/EMS get hurt. **** her.
Took the words right out of my mouth. Good to know somebody else worries about the rescuers' safety with things like this.0 -

Nope. That goes out the window once you make the decision to be a mother. You put your children FIRST. I guarantee that God would NOT approve of destroying your body, and purposefully killing yourself daily in front of your children.0 -
This years "Octo-mom"... I'm sure after she reaches it she'll also get the book deal and money from the tabloids and free food and then a free nutri-system and we'll see her in a bikini in 2 years with some miracle diet pill ad. At the same time, people will threaten to take away her kids and horrible things will be said about her. I can't believe she's only 32...0

Who pays for all of this food? I bet she does not work, but that's only a guess. My contention is that there are enablers that live around the overweight/obese peron that allow this behavior to go an. And these enablers need to wake up and see how they are contributing to their loved ones early death. Perhaps enablers live in the form of a one who says mean things, or one who demeans, or one who is being stomped on and is afraid to ruffle, etc. None of this helps. My mother, who was morbidly obese, died at age 58. Her enabler was her husband who refused her the care she needed. Before she died, she lost 100 pounds through eating right, taking supplements, getting adjusted weekly by a chiropractor who knew what he was doing. Her husband didn't think they needed to spend the money on the continued support. So she quit, ping-ponged and died of hypercholesterolemia. The the obese woman who wants to become world's fattest - I saw my mother's secret tears and heard her cries for help. I am not fooled by the smile she put on her face everyday and your body doesn't lie. Go get your blood tested and let's just see how healthy your body can be at your weight. It doesn't work to pretend that everything is ok when you can hardly breathe. You deserve to take care of yourself and who is your enabler?0

This!!!!!!! When you have children, you cant do things that will make you an unfit parent and the fact that she is purposely choosing a lifestyle that will immobilize her and keep her from caring for her children is disgusting. She is choosing food and a "title" over her children.0 -
I don't understand why people are providing these people food! I saw my 600lb life (tv show) and a mother actually said, "I give her the food, but I don't make her eat it" and therefore she felt no responsibility for her daughter's life threatening obesity.
I think people who provide food to people who have life threatening obesity should be charged with either manslaughter (if they effectively plead ignorance on the fact that they are killing the obese person) or mores, murder (they know that the person from life threatening obesity and they continue to provide life threatening amounts of food).
How is this legal? Completely disgusting and until we make people responsible, it will continue to happen.
Fact: this woman can't work for her food. So the state that is supplying it and the people who are providing it and we will find a solution to this epidemic!
It is an epidemic, with a television show that gives the lives of many different, yet the same people.
I never understand this either. If a family member was immobile through obesity i wouldnt provide them with any more food than they needed. its sad when some obviously aid the weight gain. I watched a programme about morbidly obese people, one guy was in hospital and put on a special diet, someone (cant remember who now) was handing them in fast food through the window!
Gary1977 that is an amazing weight loss well done! Was it achieved purly by following MFP? Well done!0 -
