On the train home on Thursday, I was reading Closer magazine. Top-quality literature, I know! There was a story in it entitled "I'm 43st but my man's still feeding me up!"
Basically, this woman is a size 40 and her boyfriend finds her more attractive the bigger she gets. It's such an incredibly fucked up story, really sad. Here are some quotes that I feel are true gems.
"'I hardly ever wear clothes at home', she proudly admits. 'But in the bedroom I dress up in sexy leopard-print lingerie. G-strings are best because they show off my big butt.'"
"'When I got too big for normal scales we started going to a lorry weighing centre to check my progress.'"
And then, joy of joys, they talk in detail about their sex life.
"'Our favourite position is doggy style...I can't be on top anymore because I'd crush [her boyfriend].'"
Hilarity and mild nausea aside, this story just baffles me. The central point of it is that her boyfriend is encouraging her to eat more, to get fatter, for his sexual pleasure. She can barely walk. She has heartburn and struggles to breathe. She gets fungal infections under her rolls of fat. She knows she's going to die; doctors have told her as much time and time again. And yet, she keeps eating. And what is perhaps more shocking than the fact that she's ignoring medical advice is that her boyfriend is encouraging her to do this.
The article ends with these lines:
"Patty and Sketty have agreed she'll stop gaining weight when she reaches 45 stone. 'That'll be the perfect size', says Patty. And naively, Sketty agrees. 'I don't want her to be unhealthily large- I adore her too much'."
What? WHAT?! "I don't want her to be unhealthily large." Honestly, I'm speechless. Assuming the man isn't a complete imbecile and does actually understand what "she's going to die soon" means, that is so messed up. Either his own sexual wants and needs matter more than her health, or he doesn't believe the doctors, or he's confusing love with abuse. Because that's what it is...abuse.
For your reading and viewing pleasure, the article, plus photos, is here.

The sad thing is, the men in her life seem to have controlled her weight, her self-esteem and how she sees herself since she started dating. It is abuse -- but how will she ever break away from that?
Ooops
I think I pasted some random youtube link or something into my name. Didn't mean to do that, got distracted, sorry!!
Whilst undoubtedly her husband is feeding her up, she is eating all this food and making herself this way.
That said he's obviously told her he likes her so huge all seems a bit perculiar really.
She knows she's going to die and yet she still eats all that food? Possibly they're both beyond help..
Its the last photo that truley disgusts me. She was pretty and i can sorta understand her not wanting to be skinny and dieting all the time, but dear god there is a balance woman!!! she doesnt even leave the damn hpuse?! how can that be ok?
and she seems to e under the delusion that she is sexy... uh, try again dear. other than questioning the shere legistics of fucking her (as in how would you work out what was a roll of fat and what was her uh... yeah. but also dear god seeing her naked would cause any hormones in my body to kill themslves. (this could have been far more graphic...)
SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIT.
That's disgusting... and ridiculous. If he loves her that much, he'd help her and possibly even make her lose weight in a sensible way and keep her below morbidly obese.
*shudder*
*feels the need to forcibly reject dinner*
*decides to have a magnum instead*
*cringe*
