A woman who is obsessed with acquiring really large hips, has decided to have the world's biggest hips even though it may kill her.
Bobbi-Jo Westley
Bobbi-Jo Westley is a woman who is on a mission to have the worldâs biggest hips. Currently measuring 95 inches, sheâs just four inches off Mikel Ruffinelliâs â the current record holder â assets.
According to Metro UK, although she isnât quite there yet, Bobbi-Jo has legions of followers around the globe who trade her pictures online.
And for her biggest fans, she arranges special âcrushingâ sessions where they pay to have her sit on them.
âMy hips are what make me unique,â she says.
âTheyâre what makes me âmeââ.
Bobbi-Jo was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid six years ago and she puts her weight gain down to that.
But when nutritionist Nadia Sharifi visited Bobbi-Jo recently, she wasnât convinced that that was the explanation.
She says that Bobbi-Jo is a âticking time bombâ and that her current lifestyle could result in an early death.
âItâs literally a life or death choice at this point,â she says.
âHormones, or thyroid issues, or blood type or ancestry might play a little part, but ultimately itâs down to what we put into our mouth.
âWhen weâre talking about her veins, she can have a block very easily. She is really, truly a ticking time bomb.â
Despite that stark warning, Bobbi-Jo says that her ultimate aim is to be crowned the proud owner of the worldâs biggest hips and that she doesnât want to lose weight until sheâs achieved her goal.
âI understand that Iâm putting myself at risk by trying to get the worldâs biggest hipsâŚbut itâs just something I have to do and I take it one day at a time.
âI want to be remembered for something, and I think having the worldâs biggest hips is what I was meant to be remembered for.â
The attention has come as something of a surprise for Bobbi-Jo who didnât expect to cultivate such a big fandom.
âWhen I realised that there were men out there who like my shape, I was kind of surprised. I get all kinds of presents and messages from my fans, some of them ask âwill you marry me?â which is kind of hard because Iâm already married.â
Of course, sheâs faced online fat shaming too but sheâs fine with it.
âWhen I get people on social media who say I am fat, I really donât react to it. Because I am fat.â
