美国爱荷华州有一位妈妈体重达765磅(约694斤),如今她正努力登上一个电视真人秀节目,因为她认为这是拯救自己的唯一方法。

38岁的夏里蒂·皮尔斯住在美国锡达拉皮兹市。她胖胖的身体行动非常不便、所以呆在家里几乎不出来;但家附近的医生都说,只有皮尔斯减到500磅以下才能给她做束胃带治疗。
Ms Pierce, who is the fattest woman in the world, has developed a medical condition called lymphedema, which has caused a huge swelling on her left leg, she no longer fits easily into a regular car.
皮尔斯女士是世界上最胖的女人,她患了淋巴水肿症、导致腿部大面积浮肿。因而,普通的车子是装不下皮尔斯的身体的。
