She wants to be the world's heaviest woman
Ok second reaction. This bugs the holy **** out of me.
It is one thing to be proud of who you are as a person at any size. That's admirable. But obesity is a DISEASE that, when it reaches crisis levels, CAN FRIGGIN KILL YOU!!!
So let's insert any other disease. Say this woman wants to make the record for the person who dies quickest of lung cancer so she takes to smoking 50 packs a day. How DUMB does that sound?
It's infuriating to me that she's so cavalier about this, infuriating that her hubby enables her, infuriating that neither views this as a health problem.
Ugh...God forgive me, but I honestly find myself hoping this woman has a (non fatal) massive heart attack just so she can wake the EFF up!!!

Agree with Jen - this woman is not large as a result of anything other than her *wanting* to be this large, on purpose. She WANTS to be the biggest woman on record. She sees NOTHING WRONG with weighing over 700 pounds (more power to her that she feels healthy and she's proud of who she is - that's not the arguement here).
I agree with Nik as well - she might as well shoot up tons of heroin to see how much you can do without OD'ing, or drink many bottles of vodka and get behind the wheel and see how much damage one person can do while driving and having the highest ever BAC.
Does she need to keep eating to prove she can be the world's heaviest woman? Why is that a title anyone would want, on purpose? I saw some of those shows on TLC - the half-ton mom (didn't end well), the biggest man, etc....why in the hell would you want to do that on purpose?
Her children will end up without their mother very soon if she keeps this up; they are watching their mother slowly kill herself - that's a good choice to make?
No one is stating that she's a bad mother because she is overweight - it's the fact that she's doing it deliberately and knowing that she will leave those children without a mother is selfish beyond words. I would say that about a mom who chain smokes. binge drinks or drugs or anything else that is self-destructive. I was a smoker (on and off) and realized that I couldn't be that selfish and cause myself to become ill and not be here for my daughter. I quit immediately once that realization slowly sunk in.
I didn't want to be MO on purpose - it crept up on me till I went to the dr one day with painful knees and ankles, and was told it was the result of high blood pressure and that was brought on by beign 5 feet tall and over 200 pounds. My size was already impacting what I could and couldn't do with my daughter and it was at that very moment I decided that I could not loose more than 100 pounds alone, that I would need help.
I didn't want my daughter to have a mom that was a spectator in her life; I wanted her to have a mom who actively participates in her life, one that isn't too exhausted to play outside or can't play because of all the aches and pains I had from being large, or for her to think that my way of self-destruction through eating was normal.
I slowly gained after I got married (I was thin ~ 125ish when I got married) and then got pregnant. I was well over 200 when I had my daughter. I lost some and got down to around 170ish. Shortly after my daughter was born, she had some severe health issues and we were unable to get a diagnosis till she was around a year and a half old (she has a super rare, genetic kidney disease that no one on either side has, so it was that much harder to diagnose) and that was the kicker for me. Dealing with a very sickly child on top of not being happy was a bad combo.
Does that excuse me - no. It was my way of coping. I am not making excuses for my over eating. It was something that I have always battled, and when those two things happened it came to the surface.
The difference here is that we all chose to do something about being MO - this woman is doing everything in her power not only to be SO big, but not doing a thing about it. We all chose to treat the disease that is MO (and to hopefully treat the demons that led us all here). She is not only feeding hers, she's inviting all of them to the non-stop all you can eat buffet that is her life.

If I'm not mistaken, this is the lady from the Dr Oz show that aired about 1-2 months ago, and Dr Oz did some tests and her results were anything but healthy. She was diabetic, her cholesterol was off the charts and something else he tested for her was at a dangerous level. She insisted that she was healthy because she could walk to and from her mail box...but uses a scooter for longer distances.
I don't really have an opinion about what she is choosing to do to herself, but I remember feeling sad for her children. They asked her to stop on the show because they were worried about her and I think (I could be wrong) that she down played thier concern for her. I do get the impression that she's maybe depressed or in some way has a disordered way of thinking (body dismorphic maybe?).

Oh, I have no doubt she has some sort of disordered way of thinking.
