=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, and there started her incredible journey to the ultra-SSBBW she would become.
Betsy became one of the earliest open [[Feedee|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 [[Dimensions Wide Angle Video Productions|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.):
* 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. 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.
