She looks happy.  Make the most of the time you have with the hand you've been dealt. She may not make it to 50 but - hell - many miserable people live to be eighty and some happy people go in their twenties. Keep that smile lady! And keep appreciating life however you may be livin' it! |
Hmm yeah, sounds very happy:

There are many Americans who purposely get really fat to the point that they can barely walk in order to be eligible for disability.
How lame is that? |
Simpsons did it. |

we can kind do some approximative math, based on accepted and glorified American/Canadian/British realities.
we start with the freshman 15.
then with the extra 15-20 allowed immediately after marriage, usually gained on the honeymoon or shortly thereafter.
then there's the 15-20 allowed for each child.
all that's left is the acceleration quotient.. let's call it x.
so starting with say an average woman of say a weight around 140 lbs..
is 170-180 after marriage.
and is 200-220 after 2 kids.
damn... getting to 700 takes one hell of an acceleration.

She should start a website like this woman:
Donna Simpson, a single mom in New Jersey, weighs 700 pounds and is trying to gain an additional 300 pounds so that she can claim and hold the Guinness World Records' title of World's Most Obese Woman. She says that she couldn't do it without the help of her 4-year-old daughter, who shops with her, helps her prepare food, and feeds her so that she can pile on additional pounds.
How does someone who relies on a 4-year-old and a reinforced scooter to get around make a living? Online, of course. Simpson pays for her $580-to-$750 per week eating habit plus other expenses by, basically, being overweight. She has a website, OfficialDonnaSimpson.com, geared toward "fat admirers," where people pay to see her eat and flaunt her flab.
She claims that she has 7,000 paying fans, and makes nearly $100,000 annually from the site, according to the Daily Mail. A three-day membership to her site goes for $7.95, and a one-month membership costs $19.95. For that you get to see videos like "Squashing," "Blue Dress" and "Eating a Pie" plus access to more than 270 photos. She believes the record she holds as Heaviest Woman to Give Birth sets her apart from other big women with similar sites.
Apparently, there are a lot of people out there who enjoy watching Simpson eat. She says that they even send her fattening food like protein shake powder to help her beef up quickly. "It makes people happy, and I'm not harming anyone," she says.
Except herself: She suffers from diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease, plus it's very difficult for her to go anywhere. And then there's the example she might be setting for her daughter, Jacqueline, who Simpson claims prefers healthy foods, like salad, and is active in sports.
You might wonder about the birth of her daughter. It took a team of 30 medical professionals to deliver her during a high-risk Caesarean. She is the daughter of Simpson's former long-term partner, Phillipe Gouamba, from whom she recently split. Simpson told the Daily Mail that she's looking for a new partner to help feed her the 15,000 calories per day she requires, so he can relieve her daughter of those weighty responsibilities.
Simpson has been married before and also has a 15-year-old son. She says that both her partners loved her largeness, and did their best to contribute to it. Her first husband was a chef who brought her leftovers when he came home late at night, according to Wikipedia. Her next partner, she hopes will be "handsome, slim and at least 10 years younger than me," she told the Daily Mail.
Don't be surprised to see media-hungry takers who fit those requirements lining up for the position. They might well appreciate the television face-time they could get from a reality show that could be in the works any minute now. |

She might be re-interpreting the situation: Loving someone REGARDLESS of their size or looks is not the same as loving one because of those things. Accepting someone for how they are does not mean one wouldn't love for one to be different. You can love a smoker and even buy them cigarettes and not complain about the negative effects, but that does not mean anyone really wishes their loved one smokes! |

| Jus wondering... How does she pay for all that tucker? Foodstamps (SNAP) , TANF, WIC and Soc Sec Disability only go so far. Sounds like she's eatin' $100 a day worth of grub. That scooter is pretty sweet though. Probably has a higher performance battery pack and heavy duty suspension w/ a locking rear differential. As Americans get fatter and fatter there may be a niche for aftermarket high performance scooter parts. |

| I wonder what she uses to scratch an itch. Maybe a hockey stick or a ski pole. |

Too much prejudice based on looks in Korea for that to happen any time soon. |
Too much cranes, and heavy lifting gear need for that to happen any time soon, if ever. |

Wait, thought of one more: phone sex operator. I once met a very obese woman who told me that she worked as a phone sex operator. |
