Monica Riley once set out to become the world’s heaviest woman, reaching over 680 pounds at her peak. With the full support of her husband, Sid, she consumed massive amounts of food daily, believing it was her purpose—even as her health steadily declined.

Struggling with her weight since childhood, Monica eventually embraced it as her identity. But once she became bedridden and passed 400 kilograms (over 880 lbs), the dream started to feel more like a prison.

Despite medical warnings, Monica had another dream—becoming a mother. After having two children, the responsibilities of motherhood forced her to confront the reality of her health.

Determined to be there for her kids, Monica chose to turn her life around. With Sid by her side, she committed to a healthier lifestyle, changed her eating habits, and began to lose weight.

Now, she’s walking again, fully engaged in her role as a mom, and focused on long-term wellness. Monica’s journey proves that it’s never too late to rewrite your story—no matter how far off course life may take you.
