World's Fattest Woman

Ok, so I heard about this woman from New Jersey,Donna Simpson, who is 'fantasizing' about being the World's fattest woman, weighing in at a hefty 1000 pounds within the next two years. I read about this last month, with the rest of the world, but could not bring myself to comment on it until I had read all the facts. It seems, Ms. Simpson already weighs 604 pounds but wants to achieve the weight of 1000 pounds so that she can be listed in the Guinness World record books as the World's fattest Lady. First, I'd like to say that, personally, this entire article rubbed me completely the wrong way. What woman facilitated with her right mental capabilities would choose to gain almost 400 more pounds to gain such a title? I know there are women out there who are satisfied and embrace a bigger lifestyle. Hurray for them. I am happy that they can be happy and content at any size. But it is one thing to love yourself for who you are another to say that you 'fantasize' about being 1000 pounds. I have to call BULLSHIT! Please, as a woman who has never been satisfied with her size,  I've hit the range pretty much everywhere from a size 5 to a 20, you can not convince me that this woman truly wants to be 1000 pounds. I don't even weigh a third of what she already weighs and I know with every pound beyond this that I have had and lost, I felt absolutely miserable. I was self conscious, my clothes didn't fit well, I didn't feel healthy, I felt unattractive, I felt like I was worth less because of my size. Now, I know this is not PC to say. I also know that this has always been my own cross to bear, unlike Ms. I want to be the biggest fat ass imaginable..I went quite the other way with eating disorders. I know that is nothing to be proud of and believe me I have to work twice as hard as everyone else to lose that same pound but damn it , I would never give up and say, 'Oh well, F*ck it..I don't want to work out, I'll just eat 12000 calories a day and see how fat I can get before I die!" It's like she has given up on herself and is trying to convince the world that she is perfectly happy being like this. It's such bullshit that it truly bothers me. She is a horrible example for her child. Oh yeah, she is a Mommy. In fact , now she is trying to get Guinness to make her the "Fattest woman to ever give birth" at a whopping 532 pounds. Can you believe this? It is a major miracle that she could gestate and give birth to a child, focus on that. Not the fact that you were morbidly obese when you did it. I can't believe that the Guinness World book people can condone such irresponsible behavior. Look at all the people who have been on the Biggest Loser, Richard Simmons Infomercials, joined the Beachbody Insanity craze, the Turbo Jammers, the Spinners, the Zumba lovers, the Mommy's running before day break, the Weight Watchers, the Jenny Craigers, the Nutrisystem junkies, the zoners, South Beach dieters, the pitiful Adkins dieters and countless others...all these people are working their asses off to be healthy and this broad is throwing it all back in their faces and trying to kill herself with food. It is gluttony pure and simple and it is disgusting. I hate to be so harsh but this woman seriously makes me sick. She boasts about being able to eat 70 pieces of sushi. I think she should be ashamed of her behavior and her example she is setting for her own child .Good God, someone wire her jaw shut...STAT!

P.S. I know this post was a little  critical and I am sorry if I offended anyone, but her whole reasoning for this behavior; killing herself with food to be in a damn record book...infuriates me to no end. This is only my opinion but its my blog so I can state it here:)

  2. I have to completely agree with you! I've also been in many different size ranges, and I don't believe it for a minute when someone says they have no problem with being seriously overweight. I think it's awful that she would risk her life and possibly leave her children without a mother, just to get a title in a book! I mean...it's not like they get millions of dollars to do those things. Ridiculous and selfish if you ask me!

  3. I completely agree with you and I think its a cop out... instead of working hard to lose weight shes using this "goal" as an excuse to not do a damn thing about it!

  4. Totally agree with ya!!! Don't apologize for being harsh. It's so not a good example and this woman should be ashamed of herself. I just saw something on the news tonight about her and it was gross...something about eating a dozen eggs and a pound of bacon in one sitting. Who would be proud of that. Her poor child. I don't even know what else to say....you said it all very well!

  5. Oh my Ladies, I found more pics of her. Apparently, she likes to exploit herself to make money. GROSS!!! If you Google her name, you may seriously vomit.I don't think she is gross because she is over weight. I think she is gross because she is over weight and exploiting it..like in a bikini. Well, I think its a bikini...I can't see the bottoms! Excuse me, I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit!
