Born in Manhattan, New York, raised in New Jersey and California, she traveled all over the United States, most of Europe, Brazil and the Bahamas.

Betsy became one of the earliest open feedees on the internet, with her images featured on Feeders.co.uk. She was featured in Dimensions Magazine, BUF Magazine and a Wide Angle Video Production titled Dimensions Presents: Besty's Food Fantasies - Passion for Food. She eventually opened BBWSanctuary.com, a resource for size acceptance, and SupersizeBBW.com, which featured pictures and movies of her gaining journey.
