This scares me so much. The damage she is doing to her health! Also ashamedly it makes me physically sick.

I know I know its her life she can do what she wants but this is so dangerous as she is already over 500lbs and wants to reach 1600lb!? I just see no benefit of doing that.

    I wonder what would happen if she put that much energy into doing something positive for herself and the world around her? I know this is probably cliche....but there are so many people with out food and look at her! What a waste. I hope she gets some mental help soon!

    I did see this. Im sure there are better records you could aim for but as others have said - its her choice. I just hope she doesnt become a statistic but the odds are against her.

    I'm all for fat acceptance, but this is ridiculous.

    It is her body and therefore her choice but that doesn't mean that she's making a wise decision. That's like saying that it's my body so self-mutilation (cutting) is okay and I don't need help. There's a deeper issue there as I don't see why anyone would chose to lose mobility and die sooner. I think, unfortunately, we seek attention and recognition from others and we'll do anything--positive or negative--to get it.

    But beyond that she chose to have children and she needs to consider them in this decision... this will affect her children as she loses her mobility and is at a super increased risk for a shorter life and honestly what 12 and 15 year old wants to boast to their friends about something like this...middle and high school is hard enough already.
