→Road to Feederism
At her peak, Betsy weighed over 600 lb (272 kg). 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 lb (143 kg) to over 500 lb (227 kg), which were formerly available through her website on CD-ROM. Besides [[Kelligrl]], Betsy is probably the first human in history to document, via photo and video, a journey of deliberate weight gain, letting people see her often-naked body grow unbelievably fat, then obese, then super-obese, her belly hanging near her knees.
Partial clips from Betsy's movies can now be purchased from Bountiful Productions' Clips4Sale page [https://clips4sale.com/17763/bountiful-bbw-17763/Cat0-AllCategories/Page1/SortBy-bestmatch/Limit10/search/betsy here]. The full movies may still be available for purchase by contacting Bountiful Productions directly.

Betsy comes from a long line of writers; her great-great grandfather was a "poetmeister" in Germany, her grandfather wrote the editorial page for Hearst's Journal American, her mother was an advertising copywriter and teacher, and her daughter, Raven Demers, is a published poet.
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.
