Whoa...

Original story is here.

She’s 6-foot-6, 480 pounds ... and still growing



It seemed as if it happened overnight. The young woman who had been tall and reedy and dreamed of being an actress was suddenly growing out of her clothes.

Thats sad. I feel bad for her! I cant even imagine what it would be like to be in good shape, beautiful, got things going for you appearance wise, and then one day things start changing, and in the end its all gone. Even surgery isnt helping her from what the article says, and brain surgery isnt exactly easy on the patient! I hope they can help her eventually, cause thats just sad. If they cant help her, then I hope she can come to terms with the disease and can still move on in her life and be ok.

No way was she 115lbs... If she's 5'11" in the first pic, she's at least 160lbs there.
