Monica Riley once dreamed of becoming “the world’s heaviest woman,” aiming to surpass 1,000 lbs by eating massive amounts of high-calorie food.
Struggling with her weight since childhood, she set this as a personal goal, with her partner Sid fully supporting her. At her heaviest, she became bedridden and completely dependent on others, attracting worldwide attention and concern.
Many urged her to change for health reasons, but Monica stayed committed—until she reached 400 kg and realized, “total immobility was not what I wanted.” This marked a turning point.
She abandoned her plan, shifted her priorities, and focused on starting a family. Becoming a mother of two brought her a new kind of fulfillment.
Now, Monica finds happiness not in a weight milestone but in raising her children and living a more balanced life.
