After reaching 700 pounds, Pauline Potter has officially entered the record books as the world's heaviest woman. But the 47-year-old from Sacramento, California, now says she wants to lose weight so she can enjoy every day life again. Mrs Potter had boasted that men think she is a 'sex goddess' and she has 'fantastic sex every day', but she now struggles with daily life and cannot turn over in bed or fit in her car.
She wants to lose as much as 500 pounds in order to be able to go dancing, go on road trips and fit in seats at the theatre. The world record holder, who currently weighs 643 pounds, blames her upbringing as the main reason for her size.
She said that being overweight is in her genes and that as a child there was an 'overabundance' of food.
'My mom was over 400 pounds and my dad over 600,' she said. 'I have eight siblings all which are over 300, except one.
We were just raised, that if it was happy we'd celebrate with food, if it was sad, oh you fell down and skinned your knee, here's ice-cream.'
Mrs Potter said that she has repeatedly postponed losing weight, but has decided it is now time to do something about her size as daily life is becoming very difficult and she has to rely on her son for help.
'Everything is difficult from getting dressed to taking a bath,' she said. 'To reaching, you know, I can't put my own socks on.
'As far as my daily activity I do, everything is very difficult and thank goodness I have a very good relationship with my son and he is very helpful. He helps me do anything that's difficult.'
The Californian mother tries to keep mobile by going to a warm water rehabilitation pool three to five times a week where she does laps.
But she has to use a mobility scooter to get around and can no longer get into her car.
Mrs Potter said that one of her problems is that she likes all foods, except sauerkraut and Brussels sprouts, and said she has food every one or two hours.
'I'd be happy at 200 [pounds] maybe 300 but probably more 200 would be my ideal weight,' she said
'I would be in seventh heaven. I could dance, I could go watch Baseball games, I could walk into a Theatre and sit in the seats, I could go on road trips again with my son, we could go to Reno and gamble.'
Mrs Potter is looking for a nutritionist and doctor to help her, but said she also has the support of her network of friends online.
'I have a lot of friends online,' she said. 'I go online there's a support group on there with other heavy friends, so we talk quite a bit online, we exchange phone numbers, we talk on the phone or we email.'
Mrs Potter said she regrets getting as big as she has and would not recommend her lifestyle to anyone.
'I don't even know how to say, it's not fun, it's not fun at all,' she said. 'There is no physical freedom.'
'As far as even rolling over in the bed. Thank goodness I have an electric hospital bed, and I can grab on to the bars to roll over.
'I am mobile to a certain extent but it's difficult. I just struggle every day to hang on to what little bit of mobility I have. It's very hard.'

Comments (1218) Add to My Stories Share Obese model Susanne Eman is saying 'Supersize Me' for real - in her bid to become the fattest woman ever.

The 52-stone bombshell aims to reach a whopping 115 stone, or 1,600lb, by guzzling at least 20,000 calories a day.

Susanne, 32, from Arizona, USA, hopes to pass the half-way milestone of 57 stones by the end of the year.

The single mother-of-two believes she's already overtaken former biggest mum Donna Simpson, 43, from New Jersey, who weighs 50 stones.

And Susanne - who is creating a stir among fans of 'Super Size Big Beautiful Women' (SSBBWs) - plans to increase her calorie-intake to keep gaining.

‘I'd love to find out if it's humanly possible to reach a ton,’ she said. ‘A previous record holder was 1,600lbs (115 stone) , so I have to be at least that.

‘My next goal is to be 57 stone (800lbs) by the end of the year.

‘At my current rate of growth, I should be 115 stone by age 41 or 42.’

Susanne visits the supermarket once a month with sons Gabriel, 16, and Brendin, 12, and spends up to eight hours filling six trollies.

‘It's like a full day's work,’ said Susanne, who uses a motorised scooter, but astonishingly believes she can stay healthy.

She added: ‘The bigger I get, the better I feel. I feel more confident and sexy. Why shouldn't I push the limits and see how fat I can get and stay healthy?’

Susanne's bizarre mission began after she couldn't stop gaining weight naturally.

'Two years ago I hit 35 stone because I was losing my battle against weight gain,’ she said.

‘I noticed I actually started attracting more men, and it made me feel good.’

The unemployed mother - who cannot work because of her weight - claims she stays active by doing simple exercises and having regular health checks.

‘I go for a waddle and do stretches and exercises every day,’ she said. 'My muscles need to hold up to my weight, so I have to stay strong.

‘I take my blood pressure once a week, and every day, after I exercise, I take readings of my other vitals. I use a pulse oximeter to measure the concentration of oxygen in my blood stream.

‘And I take my blood sugar levels just like a diabetic. If either of the readings go above a certain level, I'll immediately contact my doctor for advice.

‘If I was to get sick, I've arranged for my sister to take care of my kids.

‘I haven't gone near the danger zones yet though.’

Despite warnings from her doctor that her bizarre experiment could kill her, Susanne insists she wants to break the record.

Dr Patrick Flite said: ‘She's really playing Russian roulette with her life with this goal. There are well-documented complications that come with morbid obesity.

‘I would never encourage anyone to be doing what Susanne is doing.’

Dr Flite said Susanne's medical checks showed no current problems, adding: ‘She's capable of making her own decisions.  I don't see any psychiatric problems or anything else wrong.’

But Susanne admitted she's taken steps to protect her children in the future.

‘The boys do notice my diet and that I eat more each day,’ she said.

‘I tell them that everybody likes different things. If I'm making something fatty and they want something healthy, then I make us different meals.’

Susanne even acts as an online agony aunt for other potential SSBBWs.

‘I want to break the stigma that being fat is a bad thing,’ she said. ‘I remind other fat people that it is OK for them to be that way.

‘The message I want to get across is for people to accept others for who they are.’

SHE'S FROM SACRAMENTO?! I've never seen this woman sha lol.

Ileke-IdI:
Good luck. Some of us can't even shed 20 pounds this summer, she's trying to lose " more than 3 of me"

Those kind of ppl usually stink sha.

You'd be surprised how easily she can drop 500lbs. For those that want to shed 20lbs, they have to do it the hard way. This woman won't have clearance to exercise until she passes a physical lol. She can't even stand anymore. Her bones can't hold that body. Until then, they'll put her on a special diet and give her a gastric band. She'll have at least 200lbs gone by the end of the year, just from that. When she gets down to 400lbs or so and she regains strength to walk, they'll probably have her start small by walking. Since her metabolism is dead, any exercise and positive change in diet will result in weight loss.

When it comes to weight loss, we suffer more than they do lol. To qualify for that gastric band or other procedures (minus liposuction), you have to be a certain weight. As for the rest of us, we have to put in 60 minutes of gyming x times a week lol.

THAT IS DISGUSTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I pity his son who have been turned to a full time baby (mama) sitter
