Monica Riley dreamed of becoming the fattest woman in the world. Yes, such dreams, it turns out, also happen.
29 years is a wonderful age, the whole life is ahead, the goal is already there, it remains only to achieve it. Monica Riley at this age had a rather strange, in the eyes of an ordinary person, goal. She wanted to get so fat that she couldn’t move. Monica’s husband (yes, she is married) supported her beloved in her endeavor. So much so that he poured milkshakes down her throat through the funnel, once she drank a whole decanter of this drink. The drink pulled in 3500 calories. In comparison, this is the two-day calorie intake for a sportsperson. Or three days for a girl on a diet. In general, Monica consumed 10 thousand calories per day. I walked towards my dream by leaps and bounds – the arrow on the scales was already showing 317 kilograms.
“It seemed to me that, lying motionless on the bed, so large and majestic, I would look just like a queen,” explained Monica.
The girl’s mother was desperate, by the way. But she could not influence her daughter.
And then suddenly Monica discovered that she was pregnant. She could not believe in such a miracle – once she suffered two miscarriages, later she was diagnosed with polycystic ovary disease, and Monica was sure that she was infertile. Obesity does not contribute to fertility at all, as doctors have long proven.
“When I realized that I was pregnant, I was shocked. A positive pregnancy test meant nothing – this had happened a couple of times before, and each time the test was wrong. But then I did an ultrasound, and there was no doubt left, – says Monica … – I was scared that I would have a miscarriage again. And at the same time I was happy – I always wanted to have a real family. “
Now Monica suddenly has a new goal – to become a good mom. But for this it was necessary to part with all their crazy kilograms. After all, with such a weight it will be difficult both to bear the baby and to give birth. The woman began to lose weight.
Diet, some kind of physical activity – 107 kilograms slipped off Monica pretty quickly. But there were still too many to call Monica healthy in the full sense of the word. Complications began during pregnancy: preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, pressure surges, pain in the pelvic region. In general, it was difficult to call Monica’s pregnancy a wonderful time.
As a result, the woman had a caesarean at 33 weeks. Monica began to have such severe swelling that it was dangerous to try to keep the pregnancy any longer. Baby Michelle was born tiny – weighing only 2 kilograms. Next to her monumental mother, who paddled a hundred times more, she looked even smaller than she really was.
“When they got Michelle, she didn’t scream. I didn’t even breathe. The doctors had to save the life of my child, as soon as she was born, – says Monica. – I was terrified. For the first time I saw my baby only after a day and a half. And then she began to cry: she was all entangled in wires and pipes. “
As it turned out, Michelle began to breathe herself only two hours later. In addition, she had a heart defect – treatable, but still dangerous. And also reflux – Michelle regurgitated everything she could eat. Because of this, the baby lost not only the weight, which was already small, but also the heart rate.
… Looking at this tiny face, tiny hands, Monica realized that she was happy. And also – that she should take herself even more seriously.
Only a month and a half later, the mother and daughter returned home. The heart monitor was removed from Michelle and she was developing normally. True, it was not possible to establish breastfeeding. But Monica swears: this will be the last mistake she made with Michelle.
“Healthy food, only healthy. No candy. Maybe on Halloween. We want her to love fruits and vegetables, ”says Monica.
By the way, the young mother does not regret at all that she has gained so much too much.
“Fast food is so delicious. But I can no longer adhere to the old common life. I have a child, so I no longer want to be motionless. I want to walk with her in the park, go shopping together, play in the playground, ”hopes Monica.
Now she will have to undergo an operation to reduce the stomach. The woman was going to lose weight up to at least 135 kilos. Or even up to 110. But no more – Monica likes to be plump and soft.
But Monica’s husband says that he doesn’t care if she loses weight or not.
“I don’t care what size it is. I love her as a person and that will never change, ”he said.
