Obesity has found its victim. Britain's Daily Mail reported on 26th July 2010 that Britain's most obese woman has died of a heart attack.
Sharon Mevsimler was only 40 years old, stood at 5 foot tall but she weighed 45 stones. That is 630 pounds or 285.8 kg. If an average person weighs 70 kg, she was carrying the weight of 4 persons.
Sharon Mevsimler was a junk food addict and in her final days she needed an oxygen mask because her huge body weight had taxed and impaired her heart and lungs.
The final straw came when relatives brought in fish and chips and buckets of fried chicken to satiate her food cravings.
Even though taxpayers money had been used (30,000 pounds sterling ) on a gastric bypass surgery earlier in the year, Sharon's problem was not solved because she was not cured psychologically. Had she succeeded in adopting a better mental understanding of her addiction and changed her ways, she might still be alive today.
