Woman hopes to become the fattest woman in world

A New Jersey woman is on a mission to become the fattest woman in the world. Donna Simpson, 42, weighs 600 pounds, and already holds the Guinness World Record for the fattest woman to give birth. She now has her sights set on reaching 1,000 pounds, a weight that should capture her the all-around title, and is eating 12,000 calories a day to get there. Simpson’s efforts are assisted by her partner, Philippe, who Simpson says is “a real belly man and completely supports me.”
