If Octomom made you a bit queasy..try this one on.
 
(New York Post) - A New Jersey woman who already weighs a whopping 600 pounds is on a mission to almost double her girth in a bid to become the world's fattest woman, according to a report Monday.

Donna Simpson, 42, who lives in Old Bridge, N.J. said she has her sights on reaching the 1,000-pound mark over the next two years.

"My favorite food is sushi, but unlike others I can sit and eat 70 big pieces of sushi in one go," she told London's Daily Mail in an interview published Monday. "I do love cakes and sweet things, doughnuts are my favorite."

Simpson insists she is healthy, even though she can't walk and has to move around with the help of a motorized scooter.

Simpson, who wears XXXXXXXL dresses, said she gobbles up lots of fast food like hamburgers and french fries. She also said she moves as little as possible each day in order to keep on the pounds.

To reach her goal, Simpson said she's been eating up to 12,000 calories a day -- although the average woman should only consume 2,000.

To pay for her gigantic $750-a-week food bill, Simpson runs a Web site where men pay her to watch her eat.

"I love eating and people love watching me eat,' she told the British newspaper."It makes people happy, and I'm not harming anyone."

Simpson already holds the Guinness World Record as the fattest mother, when she gave birth in 2007 to her daughter Jacqueline when she weighed 532 pounds.

Eww.

OMG, I just read this article! How can someone think this is a smart thing to aspire to?! It's pretty selfish if you ask me.

Didn't Big Pun die at 700?? WTH kind of aim in life is that? I feel so badly for her daughter.

33girl 03-15-2010 11:56 PM

Her last name is Simpson? SRSLY? Is this not the Simpsons episode where Homer fattened himself up enough to be declared medically obese so he could work from home?

oh wow...I'm a former ER/OR nurse...cast iron stomach, nerves of steel.
THIS makes me queasy and more!

I can't comprehend what would make any sane person do this. Has she been medically checked out?

Furthermore, what kind of example is she setting for her young daughter?

you left out the last two lines.

Simpson said her boyfriend Philippe, 49, has encouraged her to eat more -- even though he only weighs 150 pounds.

"I think he'd like it if I was bigger," she added. "He's a real belly man, and completely supports me."
that explains who got her pregnant when she was 500+lbs.

Sounds like someone has taken a life insurance policy out on someone. She's an idiot.

AGDee 03-16-2010 11:23 AM

They are talking about this on The View right now and discussing how selfish this is of her. The comment that this is a slow form of suicide came up and I think I agree with that.

Actually, maybe not. It's a fetish for some people. I wouldn't be surprised if that's what this is.

... And that's what made me queasy.


I was a "fat kid" and that experience is something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. It's terrible not being comfortable in your own skin, seeing the stares and hearing the comments people make to your face and behind your back. I don't care what anyone else says, that stuff gets to you and can drive you to make some pretty terrible choices. (Did anyone else read the article that someone posted from Dimension Magazine?)

I don't understand why someone who is willing put herself and loved ones in a situation where her health and parenting abilities are going to be constantly called into question. Being that morbidly obese is not healthy on any level and sets a terrible example for her little girl. Mom should know better and Dad should not be encouraging this ridiculously unhealthy behavior. :mad:

I saw on last night's news, too. I bet places like Ponderosa or the Golden Corrall see her coming and lock the doors!

too funny!

and I feel sorry for their little girl-- why do I get the feeling that the follow up will be that CPS is investigating?

Bump that...what about her sanity???

RU OX Alum 03-18-2010 09:34 AM

^^truth. It is not normal to want to weigh half a ton. I wonder if her husband will take her on a fork lift ride instead of a limo ride for her birthday.
