According to a March 14 report by American media, 42-year-old Donna Simpson from New Jersey, despite already weighing 272 kilograms, continues to gain weight recklessly through binge eating, hoping to eventually exceed 1000 pounds (453 kilograms) and become the world's heaviest woman and the globe's first "half-ton fat mom." Donna also hopes that the shocking title of "half-ton fat mom" will bring her instant fame and substantial wealth.
When she gave birth, she was not at her heaviest. Since childhood, Donna had a habit of binge eating, and by the age of nine, she already weighed 82 kilograms. In late 2006, after dating her boyfriend Philip for only three months, Donna became pregnant. In February 2007, when Donna gave birth to her 4.02-kilogram daughter Jacqueline, she already weighed 235 kilograms, making her one of the heaviest mothers on record.
In August 2007, when her daughter was just half a year old, Donna conceived an astonishing idea: to make her weight exceed 453 kilograms and become the world's heaviest woman.
Every day, she eats uncontrollably to gain weight, consuming food totaling up to 12,000 calories daily (the average person consumes about 2,000 calories per day). She also minimizes physical activity as much as possible. Typically, she eats four hamburgers and fries, one bread slice spread with peanut butter and jelly, one small pizza, one chocolate cake with ice cream and cream, twelve cupcakes, two pancakes with soda water, meat patties, mashed potatoes, and more. Each week, she spends around £400 on food.
To cover her daily extravagant food expenses, Donna set up a free "Fat Mom Website," where anyone paying £8 monthly can view photos of her body, which resembles a "mountain of flesh," or watch exclusive videos of her stuffing her mouth with food and measuring her enormous waistline with a tape measure.
Donna's website has attracted up to 260 subscribers aged between 20 and 68 years, some even from faraway Japan and Australia. Donna spends six to ten hours a day replying to emails or chatting with fans. Since launching the "Fat Mom Website," Donna has gained another 40 kilograms.
Her boyfriend, Philip, who is 48 years old, weighs only 68 kilograms and stands 1.85 meters tall, with a very fit physique due to regular exercise. Both Donna and Philip claim that Donna's obese figure makes their married life more harmonious and complete. Philip says he fully supports his girlfriend's weight-gaining plan.
Currently, Donna weighs 272 kilograms. Experts warn that if Donna’s weight really reaches 453 kilograms, it would mean she might have to spend her days in a wheelchair and could even die as a result.
