700-Pound Woman Makes a Online Career Out of Eating -- a Lot: 6 Figures!

13 years ago

Beyond belief that a mother of a great little kid would not want to slim down and run around with her and see her grow up, but would rather (potentially) kill herself in some quest to get to 1000lbs.

This is really sad. As an overweight guy the fact that she is being encouraged to further put on 300 pounds is ridiculous. Obviously she doesn't care to be around to watch her 4 year old daughter grow up.

This is an example of a person who is making a living online by doing something she loves. It's also an example of a person who's going to end up killing herself by doing something she loves.

It looks to me though that she needs to hire a dietary consultant to help her reach her target weight of 1000 lbs. It's going to take her a longer time to do it if she doesn't start substituting ice cream for Cool Whip.

I don't even weigh a quarter of a ton, but I know better than to eat Cool Whip. She needs to get in the fast lane to fattyville and put some ice cream on her plate.

  She can make her last public appearance as an "800-1000 pound woman dying".
  
  That's disgusting. What kind of man puts himself in that position for a photo anyway? Another sicko?

  I believe the politically correct term such a man is fat admirer, or chubby chaser. On second thought sicko is probably just as appropriate.

Maybe she knows that at her original heavy weight, her years are limited and she's trying to make as much money as possible for her offspring before she goes.

I can't imagine she has an life insurance policy.

Maybe she does.

This woman is nothing short of stupid and irresponsible. If you have a child depending on you it is your duty to keep yourself healthy and in decent physical shape so that
a) you set them a good example to follow
b) you don't die while they still need you

I saw a story about her maybe 2 years ago. People actually pay to watch her eat. What a career!!!! She was also offered like a million dollar to go on the cookie diet to try to lose weight but she refused. She won't even try to lose weight even if she's paid for it. How can anyone be happy like that???

LOL hahaha oh man..forgive me for being morbid but because so many people are at times morbidly curious (yes even about what I am about to say)... well I am right now, sick, I know....... but... how long will a 1000 pounder take to decompose? EWWW I hope they bury her 12 feet deep instead of 6.... you may still smell it

I thought this was going to be about the truly massive (~700 lbs might be right) adult entertainment star from the late 90s (and who could still be at it for all I know). A buddy with a sense of humour even more twisted than my own sent me the link back then as a tinyurl to one of her "photo layouts."

After that I stopped clicking any links he sent me, though we've remained friends. Different strokes and all that, but really not something you want to see unless that floats your boat. Apparently it does for some.

If you incite someone to do something stupid and something goes wrong, there should be some liability e.g.

If they arrested someone for endangering a life, they would have to arrest her for endangering her own life. She is the one that wants to weight 1,000 lbs for some stupid reason. Dumbest goal in the world. She was doing this to herself long before she became somewhat "famous".

As far as I know, there is a fair case for holding her under the Mental Health Acts of the UK and also Hong Kong. You either need a social worker and a doctor to sign a request for a holding period of 24 hours, or two doctors to sign a request for one month. All of which can be extended indefinitely. This is regularly used for people at risk of committing suicide.

I'm not a mental health therapist but in my humble opinion she's doing this because she considers losing the weight to be too difficult and for whatever reason doesn't want to maintain her current weight.

She wants to do something but feels the correct action is untenable so she goes the opposite way.

It's really sad.

For her and especially for her kids.

edit:did anyone take a look at her website. She could really use a new design.

Not that I care for Tyra Banks and her show but I watched some clips of her show when she had Donna as a guest sometime last year. Donna is not only doing it for money, but she loves being obese, and she hates to move... I am not talking about the average person not caring for working out but they do it anyway... I mean she hates being mobile. She had not been weighed in a long time and they brought out a scale for her. She was praying to be 600 lbs or more.. so when she got on the scale she was 513 and she was depressed... well I think ANYONE would be depressed if they see how far they let themselves go.....BUT she was depressed and crying because she was TOO LOW!!! WOW. All for fame and publicity of course, but what an insane person to let herself go south like that, especially since she has kids. Sicko!!!
