   Donna Simpson goes on a diet, ditches her “dream” of becoming the world’s fattest woman

Donna Simpson, the holder of the title of world’s fattest woman to give birth, once had a dream of becoming the world’s fattest woman – period. Having been dumped by her fiancé and feeder, Simpson has now decided to go on a diet.

Simpson has long been making headlines, especially after reports saying she was trying to attain her goal by running a website where she’d charge people to watch her eat.

In just one year, she made about $90,000 from it, but she also gave plenty of interviews talking about how she planned to attain the dubious distinction she kept dreaming of.

Having been dumped by her fiancé, Simpson has had a change of heart, the Daily Mail informs, citing a notice posted on the subscription-only website.

It’s not that she must now look for another man to love her that has prompted the decision, she says, but rather the realization that she must not impose her lifestyle on her children.

“I ask that you take your last looks at the old Donna. I recently split with my fiancée of five years and moved with my two children back to my home town in Ohio,” Simpson writes.

“This life changing move made me realize something important. The health and welfare of my family was always my priority and they were well taken care of by my ex,” she says.

“Now that I have sole responsibility of taking care of my children, I must drastically change my lifestyle. It’s fine to gain weight when you have a partner who will help feed you and take care of everything around you,” Simpson adds.

“But that’s between two adult people who make the choice. I realized that I couldn’t expect my kids to do that for me,” she further says.

She notes that the decision to go on a diet has not been an easy one, but she plans to document her journey to a slimmer self on the same website, which will be turned into a dieting blog.

In July this year, Simpson was using her own 4-year-old daughter as her main feeder, as we also told you at the time.
