Woman aims for 1000 pound weight goal

[Asiel]

Cathy - be careful what you wish for. There are lots of "cons" - not "pros", that you would experience on the thin side of life.

I'm with you on that one. I finally seem settled at 100 lbs but I would love another ten lbs at least. Padding does count for a lot. At least it's cold enough to dress in layers and that helps.

Ellie, I can help you too!!

What bothers me is that this woman has a death wish. Gaining that much more weight only shortens or ends her life. She really needs help. She can only be trying to get some type of attention to act like she is. If she already makes a living with her website, why bother gaining more weight? I really feel bad for her and hope she snaps out of it soon.

People are obsessed with gaining weight and she wants to gain more?? It's staggering.

It's no one's business, except her own.

The public is enabling her. People who pay to watch her eat and bathe are part of the problem.

No, the title of the thread is misleading, the second article corrects it.

But Simpson, a stay-at-home mother of a three-year old girl, says the Mail twisted the truth.

“The whole thing about the 1,000 pounds is a fantasy I provide to my fans,“ she tells ABCNews.com, upset about the exaggerated coverage.

[Daisy and Delilah]

I seriously hope she gets some help.

For years men have bought women dinner, lunches, etc.


So, it should stop now?

To use a saying I deplore?

IT is what IT is.

It's just a woman running a fetish site. Someone 'pared down the truth' to get a story out of it.

Check this out.


Open a website.

Charge 15 dollars a month -this woman has at LEAST one thousand members-
and get paid to eat, take a shower and be on the Web.

Top that with all the stuff people are sending-Gift cards?

I am more upset that she's too frigging lazy to get a real job!


At least she's not on welfare and can afford to get health insurance?

Richard, you always manage to put things into a perspective that makes the world sunny and ridiculous again. Thank you, dear!!

Oh, so now I am a weather man?

You are very welcome.

Nice to have people in the realm that believe in unicorns and rainbows...

Did I just say that?

OH my lord. Back to Reality!

Ed just took a dump that I can smell from here.


What is this world coming to?

CD,

You could have put a in your message somewhere!

You do know that you can go up to 10 in a post???

But, that would be selfish of me.

Don't be cruel regarding this woman's issues - she feels she has nothing else to offer since she cannot live up to the standards of beauty. Those of you who have never had issues with weight do not understand. It's not as simple as "go on a diet" or "just stop eating so much". As with any addiction, there are both organic and psychological issues that must be addressed. And sometimes it can only be "corrected" to a certain point. There is a huge prejudice for fat people and it makes me sad.

Yes, I know first hand about this. I was on the receiving end of many prejudices and it's not pretty (pardon the pun). Now that I'm working towards getting my weight down, I feel much better, not for losing the weight, but for believing that I'm worth it.

As much as I hate my boss from H, I still wouldn't want to quit my job, stay home and get paid to sit around and eat. I don't know, there's just something so wrong about that. I do pray that eventually this girl gets the help she so desperately needs.

Richard, you always manage to put things into a perspective that makes the world sunny and ridiculous again. Thank you, dear!!

Yeah, you should try his slushies. One of those and you'll be seeing sunshine alright and the whole world is rediculous.

Amen. The stereotypes just run amok when it comes to obesity. Everyone has the answer for the one struggling with their weight. Frankly, if the one's answer WAS the answer for all, wouldn't all be doing it by now?

Having a laugh at another's expense is wrong. No matter how you dress it up.
