Have you seen this?

I'm a little late on this one, but you'll just have to forgive me. This happened earlier this week and I'm sure you've all heard about it by now.

Apparently there is a 600 pound woman in NJ who is striving to acheive the title of "World's Fattest Woman". She already holds the title for "World's Fattest Mother". Now, I know you guys know that I am a huge advocate for people following their dreams, but this takes it to a whole new level. In my mind, this is just a slow suicide. She claims that she isn't hurting anyone, but obviously she failed to take her two children into consideration. Dear Donna Simpson, if/when you eat yourself to death, your children will be motherless. Is this the kind of future that you envisioned for them? Do you want your children to grow up thinking that it is okay to consume 12,000 calories a day?

So, Donna, while I appreciate you having goals, I must admit that I don't buy yours. I think that your goal is more of way out and that are clearly some deeper issues at play here. Maybe you see 600 pounds as an obstacle and decided to make lemonade out of your lemon situation. So instead of deciding to lose 400 pounds, you've opted to gain instead. I don't mind that my tax payer money is being used to provide medical assistance to a growing epidimic, after all, I have to pay taxes and the money has to go somewhere.

Donna is 42 years old and fully capable of making her own decisions and suffering the consequences. I do have a problem with bad parents and there is no telling how these actions will affect her children. It's a head shaking, heart hurting situation and the worst part is that someone will see her story and try to top it.

If you haven't seen the article, then please use the link below to check it out. It's really sad that this is what our world is coming to. Have we really run out of options and the only thing left is to out fat each other?
