Obese Woman Aims to Become World’s Fattest

Millions of women strive to lose some weight and live a healthy life, one that allows them to keep active and in top shape. Donna Simpson of New Jersey, US, already the holder of the Guinness record of world’s fattest mom, has a different opinion of how happiness should be, and has set her sight on becoming the world’s fattest woman, as the Daily Mail reports.

Simpson has struggled with weight her entire life but, since meeting her second husband on a dating website that “celebrates” obese women, she’s come to terms with how much she weighs and has stopped trying to slim down. Even more, just recently, she has decided to go for the title of world’s fattest woman and, in order to be able to pay for the food she needs to pack on the pounds, has set up a website where people can pay money to see her gorge on fast food.

“My favorite food is sushi, but unlike others I can sit and eat 70 big pieces of sushi in one go. I do love cakes and sweet things, doughnuts are my favorite. I’d love to be 1,000lb. It might be hard though. Running after my daughter keeps my weight down,” Simpson tells the Mail. For one, she has her husband’s full support, even though he weighs a mere 150 pounds. “I think he’d like it if I was bigger. He’s a real belly man, and completely supports me,” she explains.

At one point, Mrs. Simpson lost some weight and was about to have a gastric bypass, when one of her friends died after she had the procedure done. “That was a sign for me. I decided it just wasn’t worth it. I like being the way I am. […] I love eating and people love watching me eat. It makes people happy, and I’m not harming anyone,” she says of how she’s learned to love her body and earning money online to keep up her fattening goal.

In order to get to 1,000 pounds (she’s about half that weight now), Donna Simpson has come out with a plan that will see her attain her goal in about 2 years. However, to do that, she needs to be able to pay a weekly $750 grocery bill, which means a daily 12,000 calorie intake – which is where her website comes in, allowing her to make that kind of money.

This is the most disgusting thing I have ever heard of! Of course you are harming someone! Your daughter not only will have an outrageously horrible role model and likely follow in you footsteps. You probably wont even live to see your daughter graduate from high school. Anyone who is willing to condone or support such stupid behavior is just as sick as Mrs. Donna.

Anyone who believes gaining such a ridiculous amount of weight is going to 'make people happy' are deranged. Let me point out a few flaws in your theory.
1: The amount of money you would spend in the 2 years food that you DO NOT need is $67600. There are thousands of ways this could be better spent to benefit your family and those around you (i.e. education for your children or a degree). Getting a degree could see you do something memorable like 'cure cancer' (while farfetched it's far more likely an outcome then making people happy by packing on another 500 pounds)
2: All this extra food you are eating is essentially a waste of the time and money invested in growing, packaging and transporting it to the retailer you purchase it from.
I could go on, but I'm busy studying in order to get my own degree in Engineering and Business, contributing to (and not wasting) society.

This is stupid. When you atain that weight you will have major health problems and be confined to your home. There was a show on TV about a man in Britian who weighed just under 800 pounds and he couldn't even get out of bed. Your skeleton can not carry that much weight and this man had to have caregivers and deficate in his bed and be cleaned up. HUMILIATING! And you want this??? You need a pshycic evaluation. Your body is God's temple and you are treating it this way?????? Unbelievable. Does you husband want you confined to your home and have caregivers cleaning up your fat rolls and urine and stools??? Maybe he needs evaluated. Is he a control freak and wants you all to himself? Well, that's what he is going to get!!
