The fattest woman in the world, Charity Pierce, who weighs
347 kg dreams about the wedding and wants to get on a reality TV show,
Iowa, USA.

The
woman who has a young daughter and a 22-year-old fiancée attempts to
lose weight in order survive and marry her lover. Charity's doctors say
that she must slim down to 227kg before they can give her a gastric band
as it is the only way to save her life.
Problems
with being overweight started when Charity, now aged 38, was a little
girl, she lived in an unhappy family and the only thing that brought her
happiness was junk food. When she was a teen she daily ate cake for
breakfast, pizza or tacos from a fast food restaurant for lunch, stew
for dinner, ice-cream and cakes for evening meal.
Later
she got pregnant and her 127kg turned into 254kg, furthermore she fell
down stairs that provoked a disease called lymphedema. Lymphedema or
lymphatic obstruction, is a condition of localized fluid retention and
tissue swelling caused by a compromised lymphatic system.
Speaking
about the disease she says that it feels like another whole person or
hanging cinder blocks. Thus in addition to excess weight her left leg
ballooned and made it even more difficult for the woman to move around
.
She
also had to cut out 18kg of dead muscle and tissue as the flesh eating
bacteria, Necrotizing Facitis, was found in her abdomen. Now she is
almost entirely house bound and has difficulties with walking and
fitting into cars.
A
38-year-old woman believes that the only hope for her is the doctor in
Texas who specializes in patients over 272kg who can presribe treatment
and give her gastric bypass. But since she is a single mother on
disabilty and there's nobody to rely on, she is currently trying to
raise $5,000 to pay for a private ambulance that will drive her to Texas
hospital.
Ms
Pierce set several goals: to get gastric bypass, get on TV show - My
272kg Life - to lose weight and finally to marry her boyfriend, Tony
Sauer. Сurrently she has 1,200-calorie a day diet and does physical
exercises twice a day.
"It's a very long road, but I'm going to get there. I refuse to get married in my living room.
To me that’s demeaning and it doesn’t make me feel like a normal person. It makes me feel like an outcast.
I
want to be able to walk up the aisle. I plan to wear a wedding dress,
cowboy boots and a cowgirl hat. I want to dance all night.
Tony has given me hope for the first time in years and I’ll do whatever it takes to turn my life around," Ms Pierce said.
