Pauline Potter 700 Pounds

Pauline Potter 700 Pounds, 700-Pound Pauline Potter of California is 'World's Fattest Woman'---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.’
