I'm inclined to agree with you, it's freak show journalism.

does anyone else heard of this show that she did recently like in the last couple of months? I'm almost positive it was her.
any one else?

I wouldn't be surprised. The lengths to which some people go to "normalize" what society has always declared negative and inappropriate, are endless today. Apparently nothing is more important than seeking happiness, even if that happiness is followed by the hook of death and destruction.

Some might call it "Satan's Fishing Pole".

They'd be right.

The entire family needs professional help, not another pitcher of milk shakes attached to a hose.

I think you're thinking of that dancing chick, it's on TLC, same premise though. But this is one of the results of freak media, the more unusual, the more lucrative. She's probably making pretty good scratch publicizing her unusual "talent", vs being normal size and working 9-5. People, unfortunately, will do anything for money.

You are thinking of Whitney Way Thore. Her obesity is more involuntary since she has a condition. The OPs situation is fully voluntary.

That's what you think. You think you can chase a two year old from your bedroom? You think you can meet with your child's teacher from your bedroom? You will be a great role model for your poor child.
She won't be able to get pregnant at that weight. Fat isn't just a big blob of goo under your skin, it's an endocrine organ that produces and stores hormones. When you're severely overweight, your body has too much estrogen. Fertility doctors won't treat her at that weight...my sister couldn't even find a fertility specialist to see her at 250lbs.

Everyone wants to get on reality TV or social media with their stunts.
In my day it was the Guinness Book Of World Records. If you managed to get in that book then you were someone special. Years ago, I super glued 80 centipedes together, I was going to have the world's largest centipede. In my rush to get into the book I accidentally glued one backwards and Guinness lost interest when they noticed 40 legs moving in the opposite direction than the rest of them. They were going to put me into their book as the world's biggest ********* but I declined.

Dunno if it's been mentioned or not because I haven't read the whole thread, but believe it or not there's actually a lot of people like that.. "Fantasy Feeder."

Fantasy Feeder

Its one of the most bizarre things I have ever seen in my entire life. Check out the forum - they give tips and advice on how to GAIN weight! I'm a member of a fitness forum online, and to me this is exactly the opposite of that - like something from Superman's Bizarro World.

She must be the biggest masochist in the world. Deliberately making yourself morbidly unhealthy and goddamn ugly means one has to seriously hate themselves. She is her own worse enemy, and her boyfriend is unfortunately not helping her out at all. I wonder what his rationale and thinking is?

She hates herself.
