Today’s story centers on Monica Riley — a woman whose life goal wasn’t to travel the world, buy a beachfront home, or find marital bliss. Instead, she set her sights on an unexpected ambition: becoming the heaviest person in the world. Shocking, right? To achieve this, Monica consumed massive amounts of high-calorie food daily.
Struggling with obesity since childhood, Monica eventually chose to lean into her condition rather than fight it. Instead of chasing weight loss, she decided to turn what many saw as a weakness into a statement — with her husband Sid by her side, fully supporting her unconventional journey.
Over time, Monica became so large that she could no longer move on her own, relying on others for assistance as she awaited her next calorie-packed meal. Concerned strangers from around the world urged her to stop, warning of serious health risks.
When she finally hit the 400 kg (approximately 880 lbs) mark, reality set in. Monica realized that being completely bed-bound was never truly her intention. That turning point led her to reevaluate her choices — and despite the odds and skepticism, she welcomed not one, but two children into her life.
Today, Monica is a proud and joyful mother, embracing a new chapter far removed from her former goal.
