Monica Riley once harbored the ambition to etch her name into history as the heaviest woman ever. Distinct from others listed in the Guinness World Records for their extreme weights due to medical conditions, Monica deliberately pursued weight gain to achieve fame and financial gain.

With a natural predisposition towards a higher body weight since her youth, she saw an opportunity to leverage this trait for notoriety and profit.

In this unconventional and hazardous personal endeavor, Monica found an ally in her husband, Sid. Sid played a supportive role in her journey, not only by supplying her with high-calorie meals but also by concocting special protein-rich shakes, which he administered through a funnel, showing his commitment to her goal.

Contrastingly, Monica’s mother expressed strong disapproval of this perilous pursuit, though her objections fell on deaf ears.

Monica’s quest garnered widespread attention, amassing a substantial following on social media platforms. Her supporters rallied behind her, encouraging the continuation of her extraordinary pursuit.

Ultimately, Monica’s weight peaked at 317 kg , yet her aspirations stretched further, aiming for the 400 kg  milestone. She was aware that reaching such a weight would likely confine her to bed, a prospect she found appealing, imagining it would grant her a regal existence.

Despite the severe strain on her body—still in her 20s—Monica harbored dreams of motherhood. Although she experienced doubts about her ability to conceive due to her weight, she successfully became pregnant twice, though both pregnancies unfortunately resulted in miscarriages.

A pivotal moment came with her third pregnancy when an ultrasound glimpse of her unborn child sparked a profound change in her outlook. This epiphany led her to abandon her weight gain pursuit in favor of her child’s well-being.

Throughout her pregnancy, Monica managed to shed a significant amount of weight, although her baby was still born prematurely and required intensive care. The sight of her daughter reliant on life support was a heart-wrenching experience for Monica, strengthening her resolve to maintain her health for her daughter’s sake. Her daughter ultimately thrived and grew up healthy.

Today, Monica revels in her role as a joyful mother, maintaining an active presence on social media. Her Instagram features numerous photos showcasing her life and her cherished daughter.

Having lost the majority of her excess weight, Monica now presents herself with an average build. She and her husband continue to appreciate a fuller figure, with no intentions of pursuing a slim physique, embracing their preference for “soft forms.”
