I Don’t Throw Stones Often But….

I just read this article about a woman who has set a goal for herself to weigh 1,000 pounds! Donna Simpson, from New Jersey, already holds a Guinness World Record as the world’s biggest Mom, weighing 520 lbs when she gave birth to her daughter, but this isn’t a big enough goal for her – she is dreaming big!

Donna now weighs 600 pounds, or 43 stones (which being US, I had to look up what a stone meant – 1 stone = 14 lbs), and claims she is healthy. She refuses to be told she is unhealthy and will not listen to doctors. She wears 7XL dresses, eats 12,000 calories a day, tries to move as little as possible and must ride a scooter around when doing her shopping. The one thing that makes her move and she believes is keeping her weight down, chasing her daughter!

WTF? Chasing your daughter is keeping your weight down? Is this lady nuts? This should be like her sign from above, you have a child, get healthy and stop being so selfish? Don’t you get it, your kid needs you and being 600 pounds and only able to move 20 ft at a time without sitting is a problem. I could rant on this one forever, but this child should be taken from her, clearly she is too selfish to own even a plant (which should would most likely end up eating).

Donna isn’t doing this alone, she has a lover who actually encourages her to eat more. They met on a website for dating plus-size people, which shocked me that these even exist. Her lover, Philippe (150lbs) , only dates women who weigh 400 pounds or more! This is just SICK! I mean, how can they even make love? The fact that there are people out there who are encouraging people to become obese and not do a thing about it is wrong. However, even worse, there are people out there funding her problem.

It cost her around $750 a week to eat, which is funded from a website where men pay to watch her eat. Ok, so there are a lot of freaks out there, but really a group of people enjoy watching an overweight women gorge herself with Big Macs? When asked how she feels about it she has no remorse or blame. She feels she was meant to be fat and tried dieting but it never worked. As Donna states, “I love eating and people love watching me eat, It makes people happy, and I’m not harming anyone.”

Well, technically you are harming people. You are releasing lots of Big Mac gas into the air, your daughter doesn’t really have a Mom who is a role model, when you die from a heart attack New Jersey tax dollars are going to fund the crane it will take to get you out of your house and 50 paramedics it will require to get you the morgue. I mean, seriously, I understand that not everyone is fit, enjoys living a healthy lifestyle but setting a goal to be the fattest woman in the world? Just ridiculous!

Bahama Mama

Hot Damn I leave tomorrow for the Bahamas! Booking a trip last minute was great because it came so fast.

This week has been crazy and I still need to pack. We celebrated my brother's 30th birthday at the Precinct last night, which isn't helping my bikini body, and I've been running around finalizing things at work and life.

Since I'm heading to the Bahamas I thought I'd post this crazy shark video I got from a friend Kat's blog. Nassau, Bahama is known for shark wall, which is a divers heaven if you aren't scared. I'm a certified diver but Jim isn't, so I imagine we will only be doing some snorkeling. Anyways, click on the picture or this link and you can zoom in and see the sharks waiting to eat people. I'm not sure how nobody got attacked this day!

Saving Your Life In More Than One Way

So I hardly ever click on the top news stories featured on AIM every morning, but one headline caught my eye "Woman's Abs Save Her Life".

I was curious to know and maybe find out more reasons why I shouldn't drink beer, eat cheeseburgers and cheat sometimes in my abs classes and this story seemed to have it. Well, it's an amazing story and another reason to stay fit but somehow I'm not seeing myself ever paragliding for fun around sharp jagged rocks off the coast of Australia anytime soon.

This woman was about to take off paragliding when a gust of wind picked her up and pummeled her into a sharp bed of rocks, dragging her across by her abdomen. The injuries she suffered would have killed most of us, but thanks to her extremely toned abs she survived.

Read the full story here.

I think the gist of this post is next time I'm thinking of skipping that abs class or not doing sit ups I might rethink it...or I might not.
