Donna Simpson weighs more than 600 pounds and aims to reach 1，000 pounds．The New Jersey woman is carrying a series of activities to become the world’s fattest living woman，admitting that she is as hungry for attention as she is for calorie-rich food．
Donna，who wears XXXXXXXL dresses, eats pounds of junk food and tries to move as little as possible．The 42-year-old woman is a model on a website，where a
dmirers and the curious can pay to watch videos of her eating food or walking to the car．She appeare
d in TV interviews and
said she welcomed media coverage．
Simpson has submitted a claim to the Guinness World Records for the title of the world’s heaviest woman to give birth．Among the heaviest women ever recorded was one who reportedly weighed 1，800 pounds and another who reportedly weighed 1,200 pounds at the time of their
deaths．
You might expect her husband to advise her to lose weight，but it is the other way round．To achieve her goal，Donna says she will need to eat up to 12，000 calories a day，compared to 2000 calories that a normal woman needs．
When she came across the website which made very fat women widely known，she came to know there were many women faced with the same problems．And after she admitted her real size，e-mails from people poured in．They sent her gifts through the post，expressing their care
for her．Donna was not feeling sorry for her goal，though she might risk her own life in the process．However, some have a different voice in Donna’s behavior．They hold that it is more important to do something useful than to become popular．After all，there are so many children faced with the shortage of food throughout the world．
