Fat Motivation

Move over Lance Armstrong, there’s a new breed of over-achiever and her name is Donna Simpson. Donna is a woman with unbridled passion, awe-inspiring determination, and has her eye on one goal and one goal only…..to join the Guinness Book of World’s Records as the fattest woman on the planet. Now that’s a lofty goal! Donna, currently at 602 pounds already holds the world’s record for the heaviest woman to give birth (only a measly 530 pounds). Imagine the joy of the lucky 30 hospital staff members who needed to assist with her C-section delivery. Damn you schedule……

Donna’s 150 pound husband is very supportive of her eating habits and wants nothing more that for her to reach her milestone goal. She simply needs to eat 12,000 calories each day and do absolutely nothing to keep gaining fat weight. Unfortunately, she often has to chase after  her 3 year old daughter which is burning up those much needed calories and setting her back.

They are also managing to spend over $3,000 each month on food, mostly baked goods (it’s hard to resist that box of donuts) and fast food. It’s not clear what her husbands line of work is, but Donna has been trying to earn food money by appearing on her website. Her website charges a fee to allow us the pleasure of watching her stuff her face full of greasy food! Apparantly she doubles the audiences viewing pleasure by wearing a bikini…..And no, I have not visited her site, nor will I ever (you just can’t take some things back).

Aside from her anti-healthy, pro-heart failure lifestyle, Donna insists that she is in perfectly fine health (aside from the Type 2 diabetes, of course). She is also an avid member of the “fat acceptance community” and is inspiring women all over to to adopt her motto of  “the bigger your butt is, the bigger belly you have, the sexier you are”.

Don’ get me wrong here, I’m not bashing overweight people at all. There are millions of overweight folks out there who are trying to make a positive change in their lifestyle and I applaud them. People like Donna can certainly do what they please to their bodies, I just don’t advocate the complete disregard for one’s health or the message it sends to the public.

I could rant about this for hours and break down all the heath related issues at hand here, but I won’t. The next time I update this post, it will be with her obituary.
