Meet Nicki McRoberts... you will be seeing a LOT more of her
I predict.



This woman weighed 140lbs this time last year, and has been on an eating binge for the last several months, reportedly 14k calories/day, EVERY DAY.

Her goal?

She wants to weigh 600lbs.

And, it appears to me to get attention.

The second part seems to be working, she will be featured on VH1 and the BBC this fall.

Now, THIS is weird.

2. Uh--huh?
Way to perpetuate American stereotypes, dummy!

What happens when she gets 600 pounds? She gets someone to sponsor her weightloss/surgery?

Name in Lights Syndrome strikes again!

5. Why does the media enable people like this?
Is this any different than reporting suicides on the local nightly news?

6. Hope her insurance carrier is aware of this plan
Maybe the premium increase would cut into her twinkie budget and help her out a little, health-wise. They sure don't mind digging a little deeper into smokers' wallets - there should be no problem with upping her rates or dropping her coverage entirely. She's gonna be SO popular!

Fucking asshat Americans. Shit like this makes me wanna retch.

7. You'd Have To Eat That Toxic Corporate Junk Food
to gain that much weight - because if Nicki ate whole fresh foods, she'd loose weight. Instead she will not only gain her weight but will also develop diabetes and other health problems.

Maybe we should send her a DVD of "Supersize Me"

people starving in this country and around the world, and asshats like this exist, are proud of their excessive consumption.

That's one hell of a sweet tooth...

Considering that grin, she must be having a ball... or is she? :shrug: :evilgrin:

13. This woman is insane!
Anyone that would want to gain that kind of weight on purpose is insane. Her family should have her observed by a psychiatrist. 140lbs is a perfectly healthy weight for an adult woman. A lot of women diet to get down to that weight. How disgusting that this woman is actually trying to make herself morbidly obese! Does she realize how much her life is going to suck if she reaches her goal? She probably won't be able to fit in a standard size car if she weighed 600lbs.

19. Dear lord.
14,000 Calories a DAY?

Crimeny, I've never had a large appetite, so that's just mindblowing to me. She's doing incredible amounts of damage to her body. I can't help but think that this is a psychological issue.
