I read this story yesterday and it made me sick to my stomach, annoyed and quite frankly p-offed. Sorry to be so blunt but you know that is the way I roll!
There was a recent article published on Fox News reporting on a women who not only wishes she were fatter but has a life goal of weighing 1000 pounds. Yea you read that right, this lady wants to weight 1/2 a ton. She sees her body and thinks it isn’t big enough… that the fatter she is the sexier she is.
I would call that fatorexia… she wants to be fat. In fact just to give some inside details on the life of Miss Donna Simpson, she eats 12,000 calories a day and can’t walk more than 20 feet without needing an electric wheelchair.
Donna Simpson
That sad part is that people are paying her to be grotesquely obese… Donna runs a website where men pay to watch her eat and see pictures of her in bikinis. I don’t give her full justice though… here’s what she has to say:
“I love eating and people love watching me eat,” she says. “It makes people happy, and I’m not harming anyone.”
Not only does it make me feel sad that she thinks like this but it makes me angry that men out there condone this activity and encourage her… basically they are supporting her to end her life early. Some may say they are encouraging her to commit suicide.
Strong words yes, but living a life like this isn’t living a life. It’s putting Donna Simpson’s life in danger.
Fatorexia… Is Wanting To Be Fat A Disease?
Do I think she is sick? You better believe it. I think she is just as bad off as someone who has anorexia. Donna claims she’s normal and healthy, and she has a right to eat what she wants and weigh what she wants… but with anorexics do they have the right to eat and weigh what they want? No, most have interference from family and legal matters happen where they are put into therapy and hospitalization even if they don’t want it…
So should Donna be made to take actions towards losing weight?
She isn’t hurting just herself by being morbidly obese afterall…
Her obese weight is hurting your wallet too, your taxes that is!
Donna’s crazy eating habits and desire to weight 1000 pounds lead to health issues such as heart attacks, stroke, diabetes, immobility (she’s practically there now), breathing issues, heart failre and inflammation of heart tissue…
Just to name a few.
“Obesity causes a minimum $1,429 increase, or 42 percent in medical costs,” Emmer said. “Research shows lifestyle choices and behaviors drive 87.5 percent of the cost for health care claims.”
Does she make money… unfortunately yes. By being fat! Donna runs a website based business that allows men to pay her to watch her eat. Talk about disgusting. I think this is worst than nasty porn!
What She Does To Get Fatter
If taking in 12,000 calories per day wasn’t enough, apparently Donna stays as sedentary as possible so she burns little calories during the day. As for her favorite foods? Well, I can promise you she isn’t living by my clean diet lifestyle.
Her favorite foods include:
1 roll of spicy tuna as 290 calories (=6 pieces)
- Sushi (she downs 70 pieces at a sitting easily)
- Cakes
- Donuts
Let me know your opinions! I want to hear what you think about her 1000 pound quest!

Oh. my. goodness!!!! Where are the people who love this woman – her parents, her siblings, her friends?? Why don’t they try to intervene?? I would definitely be intervening if it were my loved one! I think it’s incredibly sad. She must really have a low self esteem to subject herself to that. It’s even sadder that now she will probably make more money because someone decided to write an article about her.
Wow. I would understand someone promoting a healthy weight even if it was a little on the heavier side but this is absurd! I can’t help but think she’s already thrown her life away. If she can’t walk more than 20 feet she is never going to get to enjoy nice weather and a walk in a park. She might be getting paid to pose in a bikini but never will she have the join of swimming in the ocean or even a swimming pool. This is like comfort food taken to a whole new level. I agree with Cathy’s comment there needs to be something done! I’m not saying she should be forced to slim down to a size 6 but at least to the point where her life isn’t in as much danger!
