Do you remember Monica Riley, the woman who once set out to become the heaviest person on Earth?

Instead of dreaming about world travel, a beachfront home, or a traditional lifestyle, she pursued extreme weight gain, consuming massive quantities of high-calorie foods.

However, her journey took an unexpected turn when she became bedridden—forcing her to reevaluate her ambitions.

Monica had struggled with obesity since childhood, but rather than attempting to lose weight, she decided to embrace her body and make the most of her condition.

With unwavering support from her husband, Sid, she continued her mission, relying on him for assistance with daily activities while eagerly anticipating her next meal.

Concerned individuals worldwide urged her to reconsider, warning of severe health risks.

Reaching 400 kg (approximately 880 lbs) became a pivotal moment for Monica.

Realizing that being bedridden was not part of her future, she made a life-altering decision.

Defying expectations, she embraced motherhood—twice—proving that transformation is always possible.

Today, she finds true fulfillment, not in the number on a scale, but in the joy of raising her children.

Her story serves as a reminder that personal goals can evolve and that happiness often comes from the most unexpected places.
