I want to be the fattest woman ever

No not me!  This is the statement from a 52 stone plus size model, Susanne Eman who is eating herself into an early grave. 

Her target is 115 stone and she reckons she will make this weight within 10 years; she is currently 32 years of age.  She spends 8 hours shopping once per month and fills six trolleys.  She eats a massive 22,000 calories per day which is approx 11 times the daily requirement.

She lives in Arizona, USA.

I just can't get my head around why she wants to do this.  She can't work now because she is too big and she has two children to look after 

Personally, I think she is very selfish.  What say you?

Ok, that's just freaking ugly.  And I'm not thin by any means, but come on.....  I think this is jut a bid for attention for herself, and yes, she's mentally unbalanced.

I had to go look her up, so for those of you that are curious , here's quick pic - http://www.postchronicle.com/news/strange/Obese_Susanne_Eman_Sexy_At_728_Pounds__20110817.shtml

It's extremely selfish. She won't live long and that's not fair to her kids. She has her own website which proudly displays "On the way to 1600+ Pounds". It also shows the progression of her weight gain. Poor kids.

I too am no skinny minnie but c'mon! She definitely needs to stop asking for free chips 

I didn't know what to think, until I saw the photograph of her (thank you LhasaLover for the link).
From her photo, all I saw was deep emotional pain and hurting (and more leg than I really cared to).

She puts up this front, boasting about her planned weight gains and mega-calorie diet, but that's all to keep submerged the self loathing, self hatred and worthlessness she fights to not face.

In her photo, I couldn't help but see a profoundly damaged little girl encased in that grotesquely large body.

I apologize for the dark nature of this post.
But: Blueday, you did ask; and, the impression when I looked at her in the photo was so strong I felt compelled to post it.

I too think she is a self-hatred person who has less respect for herself which caused her mental disability.
Her going out and telling the world is just to remind herself how miserable she feels and trying to escape by harming herself.
Sad...

Amazing...I was just watching reruns of Nip/Tuck last night and one of the episodes featured a mega obese lady. She had gotten so large that she was unable to walk anymore and had not left her couch in 3 years! She had her husband come by daily to drop of food, her daughter stopped visiting her because she couldn't stand the sight and as for bathroom....never left the couch! Uhhh the doctors came to play because it turned out her skin  grafted to the couch....ended up having gangrene from the bacteria of sitting in her own waste....she later died in surgery, which they could not give her proper anastia for because of her weight! Oh but like surfer mentioned, in the show she wasn't always that large...started out with depression and kept going from there...

I saw her story before. 

Selfish? Yes
Pathetic? Yes
Bad Mom?  Yes

True, she may have some self esteem issues but come on... the idea is ridiculous and that she went public is the worst.  Anything for 15 minutes of fame.  It's sickening.

It is very sad indeed - what must she be thinking?  I really just don't understand it at all.  She said that her sister can look after the children if anything happens to her.  I'm sure the kids would prefer to keep their Mum.  I truly hope she has a change of heart and decides not go ahead with this madness.

Thanks everyone for all your comments.

Wonder how old her kids are

Eman told reporters, 'I'd love to find out if it's humanly possible to reach a ton. A previous record holder was 1,600lbs (115 stone), so I have to be at least that. 

'My next goal is to be 57 stone (800lbs) by the end of the year. At my current rate of growth, I should be 115 stone by age 41 or 42.'

The kids are 16 and 12.  She'll not see them married with children that's for sure.

I would tend to agree with those who believe she's got a screw (Or three) loose and really needs some major counseling for this "eagerness" to weigh so much.

I remember the time I saw I weighed 300 lbs. Man, I started dieting right then! Today, holding steady at 240 or so, but once was below 200...Maybe one day to get there before I croak.

That's incredibly selfish and sick, she should think about those poor kids... And I can't understand what sort of man would find her sexy, that's totally beyond me!

The fact is that some men do like their women large but I'm sure that what they find attractive at the weight she is at now, they will not find attractive when she has doubled her weight.  I think what is saddest is that it's not about "she can't help putting the weight on" which I have to say I do empathize with women who struggle with their weight, this is a deliberate act just to achieve a world record or whatever it is she is trying to achieve.

Again, the psychologist in me comes out!  (hmmm....I should ask for my credentials back!)  Most (not all, but most) overweight people have a mental or emotional issue that contributes to the obesity.  Clearly, this woman is proof of this theory.
