2 women are in competition to become the world's fattest woman, and not shockingly, one is from Akron,Ohio.
One of Eman's high profile rivals,
Donna Simpson, of Akron, Ohio, holds the Guinness record for heaviest woman ever to bear children. She won the title by weighing a whopping 532 pounds when she gave birth to her daughter, Jacqueline, in February 2007 -- an event that required 30 doctors.
Only in America could this be a goal someone would want to obtain with the hope of landing a reality show on the way there.
The money quote from the article though:
"I've always wanted a reality show, but I need to be able to get out of the bathtub by myself first," Simpson said. "You know, there are people who are making death threat videos on YouTube."
Although Simpson said she has been fat for most of her 43 years, Eman's mission began two years when she discovered she couldn't stop packing on the pounds. In fact, she was at 490 pounds when she made an important discovery.
"I noticed I actually started attracting more men, and it made me feel good," she told Barcroft media, adding that while she cannot work because of her weight, she claims she is able to stay active by doing simple exercise and by having regular health checks.
"I go for a waddle and do stretches and exercises every day," she said.
Eman is chowing down on nearly 22,000 calories daily, including six eggs scrambled in butter, a half-pound of bacon, four potatoes, six pieces of buttered toast and a 32-ounce shake -- and that's just for breakfast.
The one thing this expose did not cover which I am always interested in is just how these people afford to feed themselves when they can't even get out of bed. There are massive quantities of food talked about, and it would get damn expensive eating like that 24/7/365.
Nice to see though that Ohio is apparently loaded with "chubby chasers" since one of the women claims to be picking up more men the heavier she gets. :rolleyes:
