Patty Sanchez, 51, ballooned to an astonishing 51.5 stone as she scoffed 13,000 calories a day to satisfy her boyfriend's fantasies
Patty Sanchez has gone from 51.5st to 34st after years of constant eating with the encouragement of her ex-boyfriend and online fat fetishists.
At one point Patty wanted to be the heaviest woman in the world and spent several years consuming a whopping 13,000 calories per day.
But after breaking up with her ex-partner she changed her diet and lifestyle.
The 51-year-old mum-of-four, who plans to shed more pounds, said her weight loss had dramatically improved both her personal and family life.
“I realised that the feeding relationship I was in and the squashing was benefiting others, but it wasn’t for me.
“The weight loss had a lot to do with my break up with my ex - I was being served every meal daily, and when we broke up I had to take care of myself.
“I never feared death before - it was something I never thought about when I was getting bigger and bigger.
“But when I reached my lowest and couldn’t walk to the bathroom without getting winded I was worried I wouldn’t be there for my kids and grandkids.
“My struggles didn’t fully surface until I was single and had no one to help me and couldn’t cook, bathe, or leave the house - it was very lonely.
“I started learning how to make my own meals, and chose the food I was craving instead of the food others wanted me to eat to gain weight.
“I have more control over what I eat now and I feel so much better."
After divorcing her second husband in 1991, Patty, who used to be a size eight and weighed 11st at 18, gave up on diets.
She said: “I was fed up with staying slim for men and binged on whatever I felt like eating - it was freedom.
“In my 20s after having my children I jumped to 17st, and I continued to gain weight.
“In my 30s I was 21st and by my 40s I was more than 28st."
She said: “We met through a friend on a phone chat line and I eventually moved to Los Angeles where he lived.
“We dated for 10 years and at first he wasn’t interested in big women, but he said I opened up a new world to him and he enjoyed it.
“He told me that he had fantasies about being with a girl and making her fatter.
“I felt sexy and was happy that I was pleasing him.
“Ninety per cent of our relationship revolved around eating - I loved to cook and eat and he loved to watch me eat and rub my belly."
But Patty’s family, including her two sons Scott Webber, 30 and Logan Webber, 28, were concerned about her rapid weight gain.
“I was worried because living unhappily is more of a death sentence than passing away - we all have our time but she wasn’t happy and couldn’t live life because she was immobile.”
At one point Patty was gaining about a stone every month.
She said: “The bigger I got the more he loved it and it made me happy.
“I suffered from not getting the love I needed and wanted from my two prior husbands and with my ex it was different.
“He was very verbal and liked my body and I didn’t need approval from him the way I did in my other relationships."
She said: “For breakfast I would eat biscuits and gravy, eggs over easy, fried potatoes, bacon, and orange juice.
“For lunch I would eat a good amount of fast food along with large sodas.
“For dinner I would have a four to five course meal of meat, potatoes, macaroni and cheese, rice, bread, and iced tea."
Patty said he even enlisted a group of fans who paid to feed her and keep her weight up while he was away for work.
“I was heartbroken because he gave me the attention and affection I was seeking and filled a void, but the outcome was obviously me being way too big.
“After we broke up I was laying in bed thinking about how he was carrying on with his life and I was stuck in bed with no one to help me and that was an overwhelming reality check.”
Patty was so heavy she could not walk around her home or bathe herself.
“It would take me 20 minutes to get back to bed - I never went outside and it was a lonely and dark time in my life.
“I couldn’t fit in the shower, I was crammed and couldn’t wash myself properly.
“If I carried on the way I was at the weight I was that I was going to die a slow death."
Today, with the help of her sons, Patty eats 3,000 calories a day and is more mobile.
“Now I can do things that people take for granted that I couldn’t do - like walk, bathe, and paint my toenails which I couldn't reach for years.
“My children are very proud of me for changing my life around - we have a better relationship now.
“I would advise women who are in feeding relationships to make sure that you’re not just doing it for your partner and to fulfill their needs, make sure it’s for you too.
“I don’t have any regrets because I honestly came to my senses and saved my own life."
