Road to Feederism
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. She lived in Monte Carlo, Monaco for one year and spent another near Cape Town, South Africa. She began to gain weight at the age of 9, when her mother put her on a diet, and further gained at 15 when using illegal diet pills. Following years of failed diets and divorce from a husband that wanted her to be a size 12, Betsy accepted herself as a BBW in 1993 at 309 pounds.
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 (July '94 issue) and a Wide Angle Video Production titled Dimensions Presents #6: 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. She married a German feeder named Stephen and moved to his home country, where she continued to gain.
Some of Betsy's statistics (as of 2002 at 534 lbs.):
- Measurements: 69-82-94
- Arms: 32"
- Thighs: 41"
- Knees: 34"
- Calves: 36"
- Belly Drop (sitting): 9.5"
- Belly Drop (standing): 20"
- Belly Button Depth: 6"
At her peak, Betsy weighed over 600 pounds. Around 2003 Betsy's site went offline and she disappeared from internet knowledge. She resurfaced on Fantasy Feeder briefly before her passing in 2012 at the age of 57.
In total, Betsy was featured in four movies chronicling her weight gain journey, from 316 pounds to over 500 pounds, which were formerly available through her website on CD-ROM.
Partial clips from Betsy's movies can now be purchased from Bountiful Productions' Clips4Sale page here. The full movies may still be available for purchase by contacting Bountiful Productions directly.
Personal Life
In 2002 she penned the children's book The Big Happy Bear: For Children of All Sizes, which is available in paperback on Amazon and digitally on Kindle. The book was written to help fat children with issues of self-esteem.
