From Extreme Weight Gain to Motherhood: The Story of Monica Riley

Monica Riley once had an unusual dream—not to travel or pursue a career, but to become the heaviest woman in the world.

To achieve this, she consumed enormous amounts of high-calorie, high-fat foods daily, with full support from her husband, Sid.

Struggling with weight since childhood, Monica eventually chose to lean into her condition, seeing it as a strength rather

than a burden. At one point, she was nearly bedridden, unable to move without help and constantly awaiting her next calorie-dense meal.

Despite online pleas and warnings from people concerned about her health, Monica pressed forward,

hitting 400 kg—a milestone that made her realize total immobility was not what she truly wanted.

That turning point reshaped her life. Against many odds and much public skepticism, Monica became

a mother—twice—something she now calls her greatest source of joy.

Today, Monica embraces motherhood with pride, shifting focus from her former goal to a life centered

around family, love, and well-being. Her story remains a complex journey of self-acceptance, choice, and transformation.
