This is crazy! She says she feels better! It doesn't make sense 😱
 
Its a crazy world , theres people who look after themselves and end up with illnesses , can she not see what danger she could be putting herself in ?
 
That is sick - she obviously needs help with her sanity.

What a stupid stupid woman
 
If not insane then very selfish and unfair on her children, let alone the rest of her family !
 
Words fail me :(... How can somebody be so irresponsible with their own heath? She obviously has serious issues. At least the photo with her children show them at a reasonable weight, I just hope they don't end up with the same issues...
 
Sad sad lady she dont deserve kids,does she not realise she is risking her life for this insane milestone.She should be reported for child neglect,cause one one or another she will lose her kids...How she can even sit and pose for a picture and smile is beyond me
 
Don't go offering her an after dinner mint anyone!

She's in serious need of counselling.
 
Do they section people in the US? A padded cell with a regular diet is definitly the way forward.
 
Wonder if she fancies a game of tennis one day - may win a game then! 🙂

Joking apart it is a sad story really
 
I'm very surprised that she doesn't have health problems already, at 52st.

Exactly she more then likely has but dont realise it,when she does it will be too late! mind you she is American so we cant really be that shocked.
 
It's shocking to see the picture of her from just 13 years ago, looking quite normal. How can she say she feels good when she looks as if she needs reinforced versions of everything?
 
what a mug.............

don't think she will be able to do much for herself if she reaches her goal, then what, should her family, friends help her...........
 
As sad as this story is it could be that the lady has psychological issues and doesn't see the harm she is doing to herself, often we are to quick to judge people without knowing the full picture.:(

Plus the tabloids are doing their bit to encourage her. Surely someone is geting the food to her (I haven't read the story) so why do they not just refuse ?

If she dies, would they be charged with conspiracy to murder or something similar ?

What a strange species we are.

She should be checked over then,instead of subjecting her kids to seeing her slowly dying.
 
It's such a sad story...she must be in some kind of denial, but seems quite happy to abrogate her parental responsibilities to her sister in case she 'gets ill'... has she asked her kids which they'd prefer? Their mum, or a photo with a world record certificate on the mantle piece? I'm just gobsmacked that any doc would not have put it to her in very blunt terms already that she was already well & truly in what she calls the 'danger zone'. Whatever doc she's using must have a very flexible conscience to be supporting her in this self destructive course. All very, very sad.

Couldn't agree more Steff but mental illness can be extremely difficult to spot and diagnose, unless the person admits there's a problem in the first place then it's difficult for medical professionals to intervene, lets not forget that this lady also lives in the USA.
