"Aspiring to Be 1,000 Lbs."

It's such a cry for help!  It is truly sad, especially for the 4 year old.  Child custody should take that poor little child away from her.

I remember when she had her daughter four years ago, there was lots of discussion about her then.  If she finds a new partner to feed her 15,000 calories a day, will he also take care of her when she has heart problems and diabetes.

No matter what she says I don't believe she is truly happy and that she loves her fat.  Maybe it's a money thing but someone I think who wanted to be 1,000 lbs. seems to me hates themself on the inside she just doesn't share it with others.

The only thing that I am 100% sure of in this world nowdays is that, we as a species are getting crazier  and crazier as time passes.

It's great to have goals. More power to her.

This may seem like a poor comparison, but just think of women who go into porn. Research has shown that 60-80% of these women were victims of sexual abuse as children. The pornstars claim that their history of trauma is unrelated to their choice of career, but to anyone with half a brain there is obviously a strong connection...This is obviously not porn, but I would say this is a lot deeper than just a way to make money.  She is obviously very emotionally ill.

 Good point.   I also got to thinking, is this just a high-tech twist on the "come see the fat lady" sideshow at the circuses of yesteryear?    

   I remember reading how there was a lady who billed herself as "Dolly Dimples" and the "world's most beautiful fat lady" (IIRC, she weighed 553 lbs.) back in the '40s or '50s.  Don't know, though, that, although she presumably made great $$s off her "freak" show, whether she really wanted to be that heavy or aspired to be even heavier.   

What's even sadder is that her husband or partner supports her choice and encourages her to gain MORE weight.   Sounds like a control issue there.  Wants to make her dependent on him.

i saw this woman on late night tv here in ontario canada a few weeks ago with philipe her then man... and i couldn't believe he was taking pics of her.. and they were nasty looking pics.. but i'm sure they both loved them and they were in a bar.. looking for a 3some... like cmon!! and i sat there and watched her eating.. he was feeding her... makes me wanna stick to my diet in a heart beat..omg!! well good luck to her and her children .. like its been said.. who's going to pay for the funeral or take care of the kids.. real sad!!

I completely understand the response, but this is much more complicated than someone simply being "nutso".

My heart breaks for her daughter.

I saw a (really awful, really lame) movie called "Feed".  It was about a "feeder" who was fattening up his willing "victim" and broadcasting it online.  It is a type of fetish - a psycholgoically complex fetish that I can't pretend to understand.

Thanks for sharing this story.  It's interesting, for sure.
