An American woman says she is on a quest to weigh 1,000 pounds (450kg).

Donna Simpson already weighs 273kg but has told the Daily Mail she would like to be heavier.

"I'd love to be 1,000lb," she says. "It might be hard though. Running after my daughter keeps my weight down."

Simpson says to achieve her weight gain goal, she will need to eat up to 12,000 calories a day.

She says she can eat 70 pieces of sushi in one sitting and also loves cakes and doughnuts. She runs a website where people pay to watch her eat in order to fund her habit.
