Donna Simpson and her fiance in happier times.
Donna Simpson had a simple dream. She is already the Guinness World Record holder for “World’s Heaviest Mother,” but that wasn’t enough. The 600+ pound Simpson wanted to take two records. She wanted to top 1000 pounds, and she wanted to supplant Carol Yeger’s record 1200 pounds and become the world’s fattest woman. Then, her life spiraled out of control. Her fiance and father of her children, Phillippe Gouamba, broke up with her. Now Donna’s making a complete life change. The 600-pound world’s heaviest mother is going on a diet with the goal to lose over 200 pounds.
“At this time I would like to thank and maybe apologize to all my fans. I realize this statement will be met with mixed emotions. The people that admired me as a ‘super-sized big beautiful web model’ probably will be disappointed in this decision. The thousands of people that have sent me hate mail will either think this is some publicity stunt or maybe they will become supporters. Either way, I assure you I am sincere in my desire to change,” said Donna in a statement on her website.
She’s making a complete life overhaul, having moved back to Ohio from New Jersey to start her life anew (rather than moving to American Samoa and living like a queen). She’s closing down her website (where subscribers paid to watch her consume up to 15,000 calories a day), ending her modeling career, and will now be starting a diet blog to track her progress. As someone who has lost a lot of weight in my life, and someone who knows that struggle (and is currently trying to diet), I can only wish you the best of luck, Donna.
