Dangerously Obese has the latest star, Yolanda, who was paid to eat on camera. While previous members of the series were battling obesity privately, Yolanda turned it into a source of income. Today, she is at 300 pounds.
Yolanda fell down the slippery slope as she got feederism, where men online would pay to watch her eat. That’s how Yolanda got this obese? What’s her story? Read on to find out.
Dangerously Obese: Yolanda’s Bigness Got Her Noticed!
In Dangerously Obese’s newest episode, Yolanda claims she was a magnet for men. The TLC episode shares the same name. She started by posting pictures of herself with her belly out. While women mostly try to hide it, she flaunted it. Her “bigness” was what got her noticed. According to her, “Nobody shows love to women with big bellies”.
Yolanda tells in the confessional of the reality show that she wanted to show her big side. Taking pictures of herself in lingerie, showing the fat rolls, making herself look ugly, got her to 200k followers. What started as a way to post photos of herself on social media to gain followers turned into something different – people wanted to see her grow.
Dangerously Obese: How Yolanda Got Bigger?
From posting pictures of her body on social media, Yolanda of Dangerously Obese went to ‘feederism’. According to Wikipedia, feederism is sexualized weight gain. While she initially made money by posting photos of her large body online, gaining almost 200k followers, it took a strange turn. Her food addiction got the better of her when she met the wrong kind of followers online. Men followers wanted to see her eat food on camera.
In an exclusive clip posted by TLC, Yolanda explains how she became involved in feederism. It happened when a man sent her $200 USD worth of food for her to eat on camera. She says, “I get 200 dollars just to eat my meal. Something I was gonna do anyway.” When followers started paying her money to eat more on camera and gain weight, her relationship with food became unhealthy.
The only positive aspect of this was that she was earning an active income. Men online were paying to watch her eat 12-piece chicken or greasy pizza. The feederism content paid her enough money to keep going. Yolanda reports that people requested exactly what they wanted to see. Pizza grease everywhere, bloated and burping, was something of a kink for them. In a confessional, she says that even after having a big breakfast, she would get hungry again.
In the TLC clip, she is seen ordering a meal for herself. She orders two 10-piece nuggets, three large fries, one large Sprite, and one large strawberry shake. Yolanda loves double cheeseburgers, tacos, and loaded doubles of everything. Food that is usually portioned for 2-3 people, she gets paid to eat it by herself. She says she gets food like a drug addiction. For more Dangerously Obese updates, follow TV Seasons and Spoilers.
