She's at it Again

The NJ lady who's trying to beat the world record to become the fattest woman in the world is back in the news,

I have blogged about Donna Simpson before as her story is a popular one in the world of weight loss right now. Simpson currently weighs 600 lbs. and is a mother of two. Her only purpose in reaching this goal is to beat the world record and be known for gaining a tremendous amount of weight.

Simpson has publicly said she hopes to gain a reality television show out of all the publicity she has gained throughout her quest. She's also apparently received several book offers.

In the past, I have called this situation offensive and disturbing-here we all are, trying our hardest to lose weight and improve our lifestyles, while this woman is trying to gain weight just for publicity.

My opinion has not changed since then, but as the story unfolds, I'm curious to know how all of YOU feel? What are your thoughts on Donna Simpson and her quest to become the fattest woman in the world?

Here is a recent article about Donna in case you have not yet read the story.

It is sad, but honestly she is not a special snowflake. She is not the first person in the world to be heavy on purpose. The best thing we can do to not help her out is to not give her the attention she is aiming for. Ignore her completely. She will not get a TV show. What would they do. Watch her lay in bed all day and eat? Yes that would last all of about 5 minutes. Her illnesses are more mental than they are physical. The odds of her making it to her goal are slim. Even if she does she will not make it long after her goal. What I feel bad for is those children. In all honesty the sooner this woman kicks the bucket the better for those kids. Lets hope it happens before she passes on her sick mindset to them.
