As summer is approaching many people are counting calories and vigorously exercising to achieve their weight loss goals, Donna Simpson, however has a different goal in mind: She wants to get her weight up to 1,000 pounds. Yes, the mother of two from Old Bridge, New Jersey aspires to become the world’s fattest woman.
At 42-years-old she weighs 604 pounds and hopes to almost double it over the next two years. Though she insists she’s healthy, she can’t walk and moves around on a motorized scooter.
Simpson, who wears a dress size XXXXXXXL, relies on fast food hamburgers and fries and as little exercise as possible in order to gain the weight.
Though it is recommended that the average woman should consume no more than 2,000 calories a day, Simpson has been eating up to 12,000.
"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. "I do love cakes and sweet things, doughnuts are my favorite."
Simpson already holds the Guinness World Record as the world’s fattest mother, when she gave birth in 2007 weighing in at 532 pounds. She had the help of thirty medics to deliver her daughter Jacqueline during a high-risk Caesarean birth.
Despite only being 150 pounds himself, her 49-year-old boyfriend Philippe likes Simpson’s size and encourages her to gain weight. They met on a dating site for plus-sized people. According to Donna, he’s a “real belly man.” Fans who also enjoy Simpson’s size pay to watch her eat on her website. She has the page to help pay her $750-a-week food bill.
Many mothers are outraged by Simpson’s behavior. “I wouldn’t care if she was doing this and didn’t have children. The fact that she’s a mother disgusts me how selfish she could be,” says Sheri Wilgosz, a 34-year-old mother and avid exerciser from Mineola, New York. Wilgosz says she eats healthy and exercises to be a good role model for her six-year-old daughter.
I definitely agree with Sheri here. As a mother, you're supposed to be a role model for your children. If you not only don't take care of your health, but are also TRYING to gain an unhealthy 400 pounds, what kind of message is that sending to your child?
Wilgosz isn’t the only mother disturbed about Donna Simpson’s quest to gain weight. During our conversation at the Childcare at XSport Fitness in Garden City, New York, four other mothers chimed in, agreeing that Simpson is acting selfishly and should make her kids her number one priority instead of food.
There is an interview with Simpson in the New York Post where she said she blames her daughter for not being able to gain weight as fast because she has to chase her around. First of all how the hell does she move weighing that much, and second of all, she’s not going to have a daughter much longer if she keeps that weight up.
Though she believes herself to be healthy, obesity is associated with heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer, gallbladder disease, gallstones, osteoarthritis, gout, and breathing problems.
"I love eating and people love watching me eat," Simpson told a British newspaper. "It makes people happy, and I’m not harming anyone."
Or so she thinks.
