Remember the woman who literally wanted to tip the scales of history? Yep, we’re talking about Monica Riley, the woman whose life goal wasn’t to travel the world or own a yacht—but to become the heaviest person on Earth. Yep, that was the dream. Not exactly your average bucket list item!
A Supersized Ambition
While most people aim to shed pounds, Monica went the other way—full speed ahead with an appetite that could humble a buffet. Her mission? Consume as many high-fat, high-calorie foods as humanly possible. Ice cream, pizza, milkshakes—you name it, it was probably on her plate.
Her partner-in-crime (and love), Sid, was right by her side, even helping her prepare the massive meals. If love means never having to say “you’re full,” these two had it down.
From Fork to Forklift
Monica had struggled with her weight since childhood, but instead of hiding, she leaned into the spotlight. She embraced her size, went viral online, and turned her story into one that people couldn’t stop talking about.
But things took a turn when she hit the 400 kg (880 lbs) milestone. As much as she wanted to keep climbing the “scale of fame,” she found herself literally stuck—unable to move without help and essentially bedridden. Spoiler alert: Being stuck in bed wasn’t part of the fantasy.
The Wake-Up Call
Despite worldwide concern and countless people begging her to reconsider her lifestyle, Monica kept going—until she realized she was heading down a path even she didn’t want.
And just when you think the story can’t twist any further… Monica became a mom. Not once, but twice! That’s right—while others doubted her health, she surprised everyone by embracing motherhood, trading calorie counts for crib counts.
These days, her greatest joy isn’t food—it’s her kids.
From Overeating to Overcoming
Monica’s journey is wild, controversial, and definitely not one-size-fits-all (pun intended). But through all the public scrutiny, unusual goals, and jaw-dropping twists, she’s now living a life filled with love, laughter, and diapers—not donuts.
And hey, in the end, she may not have become the world’s heaviest person…
But she sure gave the internet something heavy to talk about.
Life lesson? Whether you’re chasing fame, fighting criticism, or just craving fries—don’t forget to pause, reflect, and maybe eat a salad. 🥗😅
