How the 310-pound American who dreams of being the heaviest has changed since giving birth to her daughter

Probably everyone has a dream. Some dream of being famous and some dream of being rich. But American Monica Riley dreamed of being the heaviest woman in the world. Even realizing that at her huge weight she would not be able to move around on her own, Monica for several years put on weight, devouring large quantities of junk food.

Monica was born in Texas in 1988. Convinced she couldn’t become a mother, she set another goal in life – to break the record for the highest body weight, trying to gain more than 400 pounds.

But as it turned out, consuming more than 12,000 kilocalories daily was no easy task. Thankfully, her boyfriend Sid came to the rescue.

In addition to chips, fast food, fried meat, and ice cream, Monica drank five liters of creamy smoothies every day. Sometimes Syd would help her consume them with a funnel.

Together, by the age of 29, Monica managed to get fat to 310 pounds. And when the dream of becoming the heaviest girl was not far off, the future record holder found out that she was expecting a child.

Sid and Monica found out in April 2017 that the couple would soon have a baby boy. The lovers faced a difficult choice: to continue gaining weight, moving toward the dream and the record, or to try to lose weight, thereby giving the baby a healthy birth, as the excess weight of the future mother is quite harmful for the baby, too.

The parents-to-be made their choice, and Monica began to gradually lose weight. In three months she managed to lose 89 kilograms. At the end of 2017, a healthy baby girl was born.

After giving birth to a baby girl who weighed just over two kilograms, Monica changed significantly. She decided to give up her dream completely, and to lose at least 100 pounds. Then she will be able to play with the baby as often as possible, and the girl will never be embarrassed by her mother’s appearance.

Monica is now 34 years old. The basis of her diet is fruits and vegetables. Spending most of the day outdoors with her daughter, she tries to move as much as possible. At the moment her weight is about 150 kg.

That’s how the birth of her daughter has affected Monica, changing not only her appearance, but also her life priorities. Now she is a caring mother who spends all her free time on raising a child, not on consuming thousands of extra calories, as it was before.
