While most women are constantly trying to shed pounds, 33-year-old Susanne Eman is attempting to become the world’s largest bride. Right now, Eman currently weighs in at 800 pounds…but she hopes to make it to 1,600 by her wedding day. Is this nuts, or should every bride be able to do what she wants for her ideal wedding figure? Read more about Eman and watch a news story on her here!
To try and get to her goal weight, Susanne has an extensive diet. While some folks stick to boring-but-cute toast, she dines on, “an enormous breakfast of pancakes, Belgian waffles, hash browns, sausage links, steak, and a giant 12-egg omelette.” Eman is eating a total of 30,000 calories a day to meet the 1,600 pound mark. Her wedding dress size will be size XXXXXXXXXL, and will also require over 45 yards of fabric. You can watch an interview with Susanne here:
Both Eman and her husband seem overjoyed about both the wedding and her weight gain. But the rest of the world is lashing back, and the majority of people are viewing her decision as a foolish, unhealthy one. What do you think? [via The Gloss]
Is Eman’s goal good or bad? Should it be socially acceptable for her to gain weight if she wants to?

That’s foolish, so many people could be fed with that excess food she eats, I am fat myself and not one to judge people on weight but that seems insane to me and at that weight you can hardly take care of yourself,
guest
I don’t understand…who would want to gain so much weight that they are no longer able to walk around? i’m pretty sure at 1600 lbs that’s what the case will be. and all her joints are going to be so messed up.
guest
that’s so disgusting I can’t even handle it.
guest
LOL! no.
guest
I’m not a skinny mini so I have no right to judge others for their weight, but I would find that trying to gain enough weight to become 1,600 pounds is a ridiculous and unhealthy goal.
guest
While people should be able to do what they want etc etc, she’s basically setting herself up for a premature death – the human body simply is not designed to withstand that kind of diet.
Her husband’s a chef? Gorging yourself in food especially fast food is different than having a respect for food.
guest
I just can’t understand having a goal like that. That would have to be miserable. I can’t imagine… I really can’t even begin to imagine… Ugh.
guest
I wonder what will come first: her funeral or her wedding.

This is just sick. If she were embracing the size she was and confident in her body and trying to make the most of what she had, that would be one thing, but purposely trying to gain more weight when she’s already at a size where she needs a wheelchair to get around? And 30000 calories a day is enough for about 10 people! Eating that much just so she can reach a certain number on the scale when there are people who don’t have enough to eat, maybe even in her own city, is just awful!

@hannahsurveys@xanga - Seriously. It really just looks like she’s trying to kill herself.

What I don’t understand is why this woman isn’t being restrained. This is obviously some sort of delusional disorder. It is self-harm, not a lifestyle.
guest
Let’s be real here, she’s not making it down the aisle. She will have a heart attack long before that.
guest
I just puked a little bit in my mouth. Disgusting and so incredibly stupid.

This is disgusting, ridiculously unhealthy & just plain stupid.
I really believe people do this ONLY for attention.
My fiance is a chef and I am not overweight. That is not an excuse. And the fact that she wants to be even fatter is plain irresponsible. I hope she doesn’t have any children because this is quite a terrible and embarrassing way to learn about how NOT to be healthy.

Dying just before or just after the wedding may be her fate… What can drive a women so crazy ?
guest
I just saw her on Dr.Phil a couple weeks ago having an intervention. I am wondering now if this article is up-to-date or she decided not get help after all.

@asifsys23 - good question
guest
This is so incredibly unhealthy and stupid. She most likely won’t live to ser her wedding.
guest
Attention whore! This HAS to be a publicity stunt to become famous or something. It’s gluttony, plain and simple. You eat in order to live, you don’t spend your whole life just eating.
guest
This is so sad

no. no no no no NO
guest
she obviously wants to die because she is getting married or because of something else. anyway i think it is completely disgusting and i don’t see HOW anyone would want to be like that.
guest
crazy!!!
guest
This makes no sense and she shouldn’t be getting the attention for it, not in a celebratory way in any case. She should be ashamed.
guest
That is -not- healthy. Eating that much every day and having a weight goal of 1,600 lbs is a surefire way to get a heart attack or something along those lines. Not to mention, I’m pretty sure her legs will no longer be able to support her so she won’t be able to walk down the aisle if she even manages to live that long.
guest
disgusting, idiotic, and sickening to see. just no.
guest
so her goal is to become half the weight of an economy car…

Wasteful, stupid, sad, and ridiculous. She should be ashamed of herself.

I wonder who pays for all the food….
guest
@Digital_Angel21@xanga - As of May 8th she was being fitted for a wedding dress, and I think I saw that episode of Dr. Phil way before May 8th, so I’m thinking this is up to date.
guest
To think of all the people who could be fed by those 30,000 calories a day makes me sick. If she was being self-accepting of her body type I’d be okay with it, but gaining unneccessary and deadly weight on purpose is ridiculous, and she should not be getting so much attention for it. She’ll be lucky if she makes it to her wedding day.
guest
@SimpleCrazyLove@xanga - I checked, and it aired May 22nd. So I’m going to hope she is currently still getting treatment and losing weight. For the very least the sake of her kids.
guest
DISGUSTING! She, or should I say it, is not even human!
guest
How is this not an Onion article? Holy crap.
guest
whyyyyyy :’(
guest
She needs psychiatric help. I’m not even joking, or trying to be mean, either. This is just as valid an eating disorder as anorexia or bulimia.. in that the perception one has in regards to food is horridly skewed,to a point where the person’s life is threatened.
Obligatory nice-concerned-person-comment aside….. what a f*cking moron.
guest
@Digital_Angel21@xanga - I guess I saw her on some other show, Dr. Oz maybe, since I knew I’d seen her way before May 22nd. Did she accept help on that episode of Dr. Phil? When she was on Dr. Oz she adamantly refused help.
guest
30,000 calories is enough food to sustain me for atleast 3 weeks, when you think like that, it’s extremely scary. I think this women needs to get a psych eval. also.is it possible to reach 1600 lbs and not die from the effort?
ps. anyone else think she sounded orgasmic when she was talking about the food her fiancee cooks?
guest
disgusting. if she were starving herself, people would be trying to get her help – this is the opposite, but she still needs help!!
guest
Cool! Someone else who has the same goal as me, dying from a heart attack before ever getting married.
guest
@asifsys23 - She’s going to roll.
guest
Just….NO.
guest
I hate her. And not just because she’s fat. But because I saw her on Dr. Oz , and I just hate her attitude so much. She is honestly convinced that she is healthy. It’s just ridiculous, but to each their own .
guest
This pisses me off. There is no need for such an excess amount of food and weight. She could feed a lot of starving children with the amount she eats even in just one sitting. Whatever. Her money. Her life.
Side note: Her sister looks like Katy Perry.

she’ll die before her wedding day. Lets see how overjoyed her fiance is then.
guest
i saw this program on dr. phil and it honestly made me cry and i had to turn off the tv. my grandmother was morbidly obese (not quite as bad as this, but you know) and was put down a lot by family members and i just don’t want anyone to go through that, sighs.
guest
30,000 calories? How is anyone able to stomach that much?
guest
Seriously disgusting. I’m pretty sure she’ll die of complications long before she ever reaches her goal weight.
guest
as disgusting as i find this, i’ll accept that it’s her decision. my problem with it is that she has a child [or children?]. if she want to destroy her own body, that’s one thing, but if any children of hers follow her example, cps needs to be called.

how is she not going to have a heart attack?
guest
@SimpleCrazyLove@xanga - Yeah, apparently she was also on Dr. Oz before Dr.Phil. Who can keep them straight anyway haha. Dr. Phil and her family supposedly got through to her, but I now have seen articles dated after may 22nd, so I can only guess she just went back to business as usual. Real shame.
guest
Someone is enabling her. Her family needs support and counselling as well. Either she has access to too much/improper food, or someone is preparing and giving her this food. She can’t eat it if she doesn’t have it. Her family is as much to blame and in need of help as she is. Regardless of how fucked up or skewed her own view is. She’s going to get to the point where she is not mobile, and if she continues to gain weight that means someone is feeding her.
guest
She’s going to kill herself before the wedding. That’s just so unhealthy! How will she walk down the aisle, anyway? I think I’ve seen some TLC program or something similar about a few people over 1,000 pounds and they had tremendous difficulties with walking and so many health problems.
Even so, since she seems determined to do it, I hope she stays healthy enough to live until and after her marriage and enjoy it, though it will be hard with such a taxing diet.
guest
guest
The type of food she is eating, plus the amount of weight she is anticipating will most likely kill her before she reaches her wedding day.
guest
The sad thing is, she’s pretty in her face. But all that weight is really hiding the person she is. I don’t know how she got that weight considering her sister is no where close to that weight. But I feel that now that she’s eight hundred pounds, she assumes that “Who gives a fuck?” & just… Is going to die so soon!
guest
Mission accomplished.

guest
is it bad that i immediately thought that her mid-section looked like a pillow? how is she not dead yet? and when she does die, how will she be buried? gonna need a fucking forklift… i’m usually not this harsh about obese people, but this time i feel justified with my words to say so.
guest
I think she’s using it as an excuse to cover her eating problem. To me, she seems to like an emotional eater/food addict who is in denial. I don’t think anyone really wants to weigh that much. I would think she’s embarrassed by her inability to stop eating so much so she says she wants to break a world record.
I’m sad for her that her future husband is supporting her effort to gain weight rather than getting her the proper help she needs to recover from what seems to be an eating disorder.
guest
when my dad’s 600 pound cousin died, they had to transport his body 200 miles away to find a place big enough that could cremate him. he was in his 40s. This woman is an idiot. I am 32 as well and I can’t even imagine being 200 pounds much less 800. I never reached 200 even in pregnancy.
guest
Unacceptable.
guest
The man wants her money as soon as she dies!

I’m sorry, I normally don’t pass judgement on people but to me this is disgusting, selfish, and incredibly sad. The human body is an amazing and beautiful thing, a gift if you will. To watch it be mutilated, knowing that she is destroying any chances of a long and prosperous life just makes me sick. My whole goal in life is to benefit others, to help people embrace inner beauty which I hope will eventually lead them to helping others as well. There are people suffering from starvation worldwide that could benefit from this woman’s diet. I truly wish she could visit these places and see the famished faces herself to reconsider her atrocious desire to become the fattest bride. It never ceases to amaze me what some people aspire to be. I can’t help but feel sorry for her as well, if this is her goal. What a sad life she must lead.
