Dream big!
A New Jersey woman, who now tips the scales at 604 pounds, said
it’d be a "fantasy" to gobble her way to fame and someday weigh
1,000 pounds.
"When you have a 3-year-old daughter and you’re trying to run a
household, things like this tend to be a fantasy," Simpson told The
Post today.
The 42-year-old Old Bridge resident insists she has no realistic
hopes of ever making 1,000 pounds, but will try her best to
consume, wolf, munch and devour her way to hog heaven.
It’s such a hefty task, that Simpson would have to consume Jets
coach Rex Ryan — 350 pounds before his stomach-staple surgery this
past weekend — just to get close.
"This whole thousand-pound goal has gotten blown way out of
proportion," Simpson said of her pie-in-the-sky dreams.
"This is a fantasy of mine. It’s not reality, yet everyone takes
this and runs with it."
Simpson claims she only wants to be recognized as the heaviest
woman to ever give birth.
She weighed 532 pounds in 2007 when her daughter Jacqueline was
born.
A rep for the Guinness World Record said there is no category
for biggest birth mom, but the UK-based outfit has received
paperwork from Simpson — asking to be named biggest to give birth
and heaviest living woman.
Guinness is thinking about creating a biggest birth mom category
and considering Simpson’s application to be named largest living
woman.
The biggest woman ever recorded was Rosalie Bradford, of
Auburndale, Fla., who weighed in at 1,199 pounds in 1987. Before
Bradford died at age 63 in 2007, she was the heaviest living
woman.
Guinness denies it’s encouraging Simpson and other freaks, only
chronicling what they’d be doing naturally.
"We’re not pushing people out there to eat, we’re in no way
asking them to live an unhealthy lifestyle," said Guinness
spokeswoman Jamie Panas.
"From out point of view, these people are out there and we’re
just reporting it like you are. We’re just impartially chronicling
superlatives."
Panas admitted, however, that Guinness had to end a category for
fattest pet, fearing that owners were stuffing their fury,
four-legged pals just for a record.
In her "fantasy," Simpson would zoom up to 1,000 in two years
with a steady diet of 12,000 calories per day. An average woman
should consume no more than 2,000.
"My favorite food is sushi, but unlike others I can sit and eat
70 big pieces of sushi in one go," she told London’s Daily Mail. "I
do love cakes and sweet things, doughnuts are my favorite."
To help pick up the tab on her $750-a-week eating habit, Simpson
puts herself on the Internet where people can pay to watch her
eat.
"I love eating and people love watching me eat," she told the
British newspaper. "It makes people happy, and I’m not harming
anyone."
Simpson said her 49-year-old, 150-pound boyfriend Philippe
Gouamba, has encouraged her to eat more.
"I think he’d like it if I was bigger," she added. "He’s a real
belly man, and completely supports me."
