500lbs and Pregnant: HOOKED ON THE LOOK

Morbidly obese Monica Riley once wanted to be the fattest woman in the world and would eat over 10,000 calories a day in an attempt to become immobile. The 28-year-old ballooned to 700lbs and hoped to become so large that she became bed bound under the care of her feeder fiancé, Sid.

But after suffering two miscarriages, Monica, from Fort Worth, Texas, is pregnant again and now overhauling her lifestyle in a bid to ensure a healthy pregnancy and be a fit mom.

Monica’s dream was to be recognized as the world’s fattest woman. She even “hired” her fiance to be her feeder, using a funnel to help her devour those insane amounts of food. But when she finally got pregnant, she decided to shed the excess weight in order to become the mom that her child will need her to be. She’s lost a whopping 196 pounds so far.
