I couldn't even read it all. Her poor kids! What kind of example is she giving them? She is showing them an unhealthy lifestyle and how to basically kill yourself slowly.
Each to their own, I know, but I can't understand it. I've never actually met anyone who wanted to put on a huge amount of weight. I've met thin people who want to put on a stone or something to become healthier.
Perhaps it's laziness? Doesn't want to try to lose the weight so she goes to an extreme like this? I don't know. No one knows.
I hope she changes her mind soon, she will most probably regret this when she gets here diabetes, sore spots in the hard to reach places, an oxygen mask etc
