[I]After years of getting paid to scarf down tacos and pizza on "fat fetish" cam sites, Donna Simpson reached an astonishing 600 lbs. She's now desperately trying to lose weight in order to lead a normal life for the sake of herself and her children.[/I]
Reel in shock at the ample waves of rolls! Express disgust at the stories of fetishists that supported this suicidal lifestyle! Marvel in wonder at your now-thinner-looking body!
Interesting video. To be honest, stuff like this makes me glad I'm not like that. I still have sympathy for her, but I realize sometimes that being 600 pounds would make getting around incredibly difficult.
i wish i could gain weight
Don't lose weight please.

if people paid you to eat you would probably gain weight.

Of course, no one wants to be so fat they can't move. I'm a fat bastard, believe me, but if it got to that point I'd reconsider living.
I'm surprised she had living children being that heavy
Her son's gonna get ripped pushing her around all day
I don't feel one bit sorry for her. Forced into her lifestyle? Pshh... If she wasn't trying to make easy money then she wouldn't have to deal with these consequences. I do however feel sorry that her family has to deal with her.
She wants people to give her money to lose weight? She seems awfully lazy, I don't really feel any sympathy for her.
On the other hand, I can't help but feel bad for her children who probably need to help her with everything.
"I've tried everything you can possibly imagine"
It seems except for eating less.
While I don't support this kind of lifestyle, I understand why she did it. It was an easy way of getting money, and she is good at eating. I also do respect her confidence about her appearance and determination to lose weight, so kudos to her.
Despite her very acidic life style it seems like she is a nice person, perhaps a nice person who has just had a lot of trouble in her life.
"i tried drugs so i've tried everything you can possible imagine"
how about stop eating shit food and exercise more HMMM???
She keeps talking about how she eats large amounts. She's just a huge hungering pile of fat, no medical conditions here, apart from being a fatass.
She is in a tough situation and that sucks, but she is heavily at fault here, no pun intended. And the fact that she was going to wreck another family by stealing the husband doesnt make things any better. Needs a wake up call or intervention type thing.
"I'm trying to lose weight, so I'm going to go to a restaurant to eat a three course meal that includes an ice cream sundae."
She has nobody to blame but herself.

"I'm trying to lose weight, so I'll get my 8 year old child to haul my quarter ton ass around the super market and not even try to stand for more than 10 seconds."
Imagine the condition of her cardio from sitting all day..
Who the fuck thinks fat is attractive? That's disgusting..

Guys, do you even realize how much she fucking weighs? You can't go on a fucking diet or even do normal exercise routines when you are that fat.
Jeez you guys are dense as fuck.
If you say you tried everything and you see no results, you're a big fat liar.
All I have in response to this and people like stupidass and Noss:
A selection of reading from the book "God's Debris" by Scott Adams
[quote="God's Debris"]
“When you see an overweight person, what do you
think of his willpower?”
“I think he doesn’t have much,” I said.
“Why do you think that?”
“How hard is it to skip that third bowl of ice cream? I’m
in good shape because I exercise and eat right. It’s not easy,
but I have the willpower. Some people don’t.”
“If you were starving, could you resist eating?”
“I doubt it. Not for long, anyway.”
“But if your belly were full you could resist easily, I assume.”
“Sure.”
“It sounds as if hunger determines your actions, not socalled willpower.”
“No, you picked two extremes: starving and full,” I
said. “Most of the time I’m in the middle. I can eat a little
or eat a lot, but it’s up to me.”
“Have you ever been very hungry—not starving, just
very hungry—and found yourself eating until it hurt?”
“Yes, but on average I don’t eat too much. Sometimes
I’m busy and I forget to eat for half a day. It all averages
out.”
“I don’t see how willpower enters into your life,” he
said. “In one case you overeat and in the other case you simply forget to eat. I see no willpower at all.”
“I don’t overeat every time I eat. Most of the time I
have average hunger and I eat average amounts. I’d like to
eat more, but I don’t. That’s willpower.”
“And according to you, overweight people have less of
this thing you call willpower?” he asked.
“Obviously. Otherwise they’d eat less.”
“Isn’t it possible that overweight people have the same
amount of willpower as you but much greater hunger?”
“I think people have to take responsibility for their own
bodies,” I replied.
“Take responsibility? It sounds as if you’re trying to
replace the word willpower with two new words in the hope
that I will think it’s a new thought.”
I laughed. He nailed me.
“Okay, just give it to me,” I said, knowing there was a
more profound thought behind this line of questioning.
“We like to believe that other people have the same level
of urges as we do, despite all evidence to the contrary. We
convince ourselves that people differ only in their degree of
morality or willpower, or a combination of the two. But
urges are real, and they differ wildly for every individual.
Morality and willpower are illusions. For any human being,
the highest urge always wins and willpower never enters into
it. Willpower is a delusion.”
“Your interpretation is dangerous,” I said. “You’re saying it’s okay to follow your urges, no matter what is right or
wrong, because you can’t help yourself anyway. We might as
well empty the prisons since people can’t stop themselves
from committing crimes. It’s not really their fault, according to you.”
“It is useful to society that our urges are tempered by
shame and condemnation and the threat of punishment,”
he said. “It is a useful fiction to blame a thing called
willpower and pretend the individual is somehow capable of
overcoming urges with this magical and invisible force.
Without that fiction, there could be no blame, no indignation, and no universal agreement that some things should be punished. And without those very real limiting forces,
our urges would be less contained and more disruptive than
they are. The delusion of willpower is a practical fiction.”
“I’ll never look at pie the same way,” I said. “But what
about people with slow metabolisms? They get fat no matter how little they eat.”
“Have you ever seen pictures of starving people?” he
asked.
“Yes.”
“How many of the starving people in those pictures
were fat?”
“None that I’ve seen. They’re always skin and bones.
But that’s different.”
“It’s very different but still, according to your theory,
some of those people should be starving to death while
remaining fat.”
I didn’t have an answer for that. I was happy when he
changed the subject.

how do people who are like 120-180 pounds become diabetic or have heart attacks without genetic markers causing it
but this person somehow can be physically possible to survive.
I just have no idea how you can be 600 pounds and live

that didn't sound right

I'm not dense as fuck you prick.
Hey guess what - she isn't going to fucking lose weight by eating out at restaurants and eating ice cream sundaes. She doesn't need to go on a diet she needs to go through a fucking lifestyle change or she is going to die, leaving her kids to fend for herself.
I think once you're fat enough that you can use your own stomach as a laptop stand and get your fucking kids to push you around in a wheelchair you need to forget about ice cream.
White whale holy grail shit aside, there's something extremely shocking and sad about this video. She got herself into that position, yes, and she's definitely going to pay the price with health complications, yes. But the fact there's a whole ring of people out there that helped her get into that shape and used her along the way in a variety of ways makes me feel somewhat uncomfortable. Her kids are fantastic, but their father is sort of a shitbag.
