Do you remember Monica Riley, the woman who weighed 680 lbs and dreamed of becoming the heaviest person on Earth? Her diet consisted of enormous amounts of high-calorie foods, and it eventually left her bedridden. So, what happened to her, and how is she doing now?
Monica’s story is unconventional. Rather than seeking travel adventures or a typical family life, her goal was to reach the extreme of human weight. She relentlessly consumed high-fat foods to achieve this aspiration.
Struggling with her weight since childhood, Monica decided to embrace her condition and make it her strength, with the support of her husband, Sid, by her side. Over time, she became so immobile that she needed help for even basic tasks, constantly anticipating her next calorie-packed meal.
