Donna Simpson already weighs 43st, but she is determined to nearly double her size to become the world's fattest woman.

The 42-year-old from New Jersey, U.S, is set on reaching the 1,000lb mark (71st) in just two years. Remarkably she insists she is healthy, despite now needing a mobility scooter when she goes shopping.

1. wow

"To fund the massive $750 weekly food shop, she runs a website where men pay her to watch her eat fast food."

[SteppingRazor]

2. It's essentially a perfect Lounge story. The only thing that could make it better...

is if she was on an all-Olive Garden diet.

[guitar man]

10. and if she was breastfeeding a pitbull

:rofl:

[Chellee]

31. no, she has to be feeding the pitbull breast milk cheese.

:shrug:

Don't you think?

5. Almost 7 billion people on the world

With an ever increasing ability to dig deeper into their own minds.

[Maine-ah]

8. thats more than my mortgage payment!!

3. My American reading of the article stumped me for a minute.

I kept reading "43st" like "43rd" (as in she's the 43rd fattest in the world ... but how would they know that?) but then I finally realized it's "43 stone," or 602 pounds. D'oh!

[ScreamingMeemie]

28. You weren't alone in that...

:blush:

[Iggo]

32. Fourteen pounds? Really? That's what a stone is?

:facepalm:

[Arugula Latte]

35. Yep!

I've been watching "You Are What You Eat" on BBC America and they put everything in stones. "After following Gillian's instructions, Simon lost three stone!"

[Mojambo]

4. I was wondering what Kirstie Alley's new show was about... n/t

[NightWatcher]

6. dude, dont you remember the Simpsons episode that went like this?

(Homer Simpson, Donna Simpson? any relation)



Homer gained weight on purpose so that he could claim disability and work from home.

[SteppingRazor]

7. Which in turn reminds me of the South Park episode:

Simpsons did it! Simpsons did it!

:rofl:

[Tailormyst]

9. She must be mentally ill

I say that as an obese woman. I hope her loved ones can convince her to get some therapy before she kills herself.

[charlie and algernon]

11. that's what I was thinking

gaining 500 pounds in 2 years? She'll be dead from a heart attack long before she reaches that 1000 pound milestone. Then her poor daughter will be without a mother. :-(

[Tailormyst]

12. Exactly. This isn 't about fat really

This is about a woman in a delusional state insisting on doing something that WILL kill her. There is little chance of survival at 1000 pounds.

[AngryAmish]

16. Little chance of survival at any weight

Odds are extremely long.

[LeftyMom]

13. Well yeah. She makes her money on fat fetishists, so pounds are dollars.

I hope for her kid's sake she bought a nice big life insurance policy before she started intentionally porking up.

[LynneSin]

21. Who would give her one in that condition

They know she's going to die in about 2-3 years so why would they even think of giving her a policy?

[LeftyMom]

23. That was my point, hopefully for the kid's sake she got one when she was merely fat,

as opposed to whatever the hell one would call her at this point.

[TheMightyFavog]

14. You know, when someone attempts to commit suicide, they put them awat for a bit...

Can the state not step in here on similar gorunds?

[Forkboy]

15. It's good to have goals in life.

[Arugula Latte]

17. "I'm not harming anyone"...

Pay no attention to that little girl sitting next to a mother who is determined to kill herself ... :eyes:

[Deep13]

18. It's a suicide pact.

:(

[Fire Walk With Me]

19. Better that than having 25+ children.

:shrug:

[Iggo]

33. But she's eating for 25, so...yeah. (n/t)

[Fire Walk With Me]

39. I have an apropos comment on the subject but it's pretty vile so I'll keep it to myself.

(hide)

[Symarip]

20. It's good to have goals (nt)

[rcrush]

22. Yeah Homer already tried this.

It didnt work cause he got stuck in the thing or whatever it was.

[name not needed]

34. "I wash myself with a rag on a stick"

[datasuspect]

24. there is a disgustingly sick part of me that is turned on by this

i ADORE morbidly obese women.

[JanMichael]

27. umm. no. forget it. nt.

[KamaAina]

29. Why "disgustingly sick"?

There are clearly enough people like you out there to support her website.

I wouldn't mind "picking on someone my own size" (6'3", 270) myself. LArger women are often underappreciated. Can't see why Ms. Simpson would need to get even larger, though. :shrug:

[datasuspect]

30. no the idea that she's doing it on purpose

i've entertained similar thoughts after watching the world's fattest man on TLC or something.

i had visualized forcibly making myself into 1200 pound person. it's a form of fetishism.

[lunatica]

25. After watching some documentaries on people who are morbidly obese

People who weigh 500+ lbs I can't imagine why anyone would want to gain more no matter what the reason is just on the basis of quality of life and serious physical problems. The people I saw couldn't even get up or sit up, much less go to the bathroom or clean themselves. Either their mothers did it or someone was hired. They develop large horrible sores where the folds of their skin keep the skin from being healthy. They can't breath because the only way they can lie is flat on their backs. They are virtual prisoners in their own bedrooms because walls have to be torn down to get them out. There aren't wheelchairs large enough or beds strong enough to hold them.

I guess that women is hoping to die because that's where she's headed. That's so sad. Even obese people are worthy human beings, just because all people are.

[Blue-Jay]

26. We're gonna need a bigger boat.... or a bigger scooter.

[nickinSTL]

36. healthy? wow, she is deluded.

Having been quite overweight myself (I'm 5'6" and at my biggest was maybe up to 225 lbs.), I can't anyone in their right mind having any illusions about health.

At that weight, I was having knee pain every time I went up stairs, got out of breath climbing one flight, and overall I just felt horrible.

When I realized how bad I felt, I started exercising and getting my weight under better control.

I've been up and down since then, but I know I feel best when my weight is down and I'm active.

I realize that different people have different body types and health conditions, and that some can no doubt handle more weight than I can, but...I still can't believe that someone who is over 600 lbs. is in any way "healthy".

[Skittles]

37. that is a sick woman

[snooper2]

38. Nobody is supporting her decision yet...come on!

We know you are out there!

[BlueIris]

40. I support her right to do what she wants with her body...

...but I agree with those who say this "goal" is probably the result of mental illness. I hope she gets some therapy because morbid obesity is not ideal health status.
