people got way more excited about this than i expected! but iâll focus in on one lady in particular
Ruth Smith was born into a family of fat lady circus performers, with her mother Ada Smith being known as the Human Blimp.
Ruth was already fat as a kid, but also got a job at a candy factory, which definitely didnât help. (or maybe it did whoâs to say) Eventually, she followed in her Moms footsteps and joined the circus first as Ima Waddler, then Lady Beautiful, before settling on Baby Ruth
She worked with Barnum and Bailey earning $300 a day (over $6k in 2026!) and thatâs where she met her husband Joe Pontico, a balloon salesman.
She only weighed 4-500 pounds but advertisers kept adding to it, which made her want to give the truth to her audience and she worked to gain 772-815 (sources vary) at her highest.
However, she wanted to be the first woman to weigh 1,000 pounds and seemingly her whole life was dedicated to this (seems VERY FAMILIAR)
âSmith) installed large three-way mirrors in her home and dressing room so she would be able to admire her body from all anglesâŠShe seemed to completely enjoy the process of gaining weight, from the eating of the foods to the appearance of new fat on her bodyâ
Other fun feedist fic things about Baby Ruth
They had to widen to doors to her sleeping quarters on the train because she couldnât fit
She had an operation to remove loose skin, but it had to be postponed when the bed broke and her pulse shot up (i mean that speaks for itself imo)
When she went to visit her sister, she fell through the floor and needed to be rescued by crane
She did pass pretty young due to (seemingly) a mistake in anesthesia administration to remove a fatty tumor.
Idk if she was a feedist or not but itâs cool to learn about fat people throughout history. She seemed full of joy and loved her job and body and had a family who loved her too. I hope in whatever life comes after this, she got to her goal weight and then some.
of course i had to include some of her measurements because im a FREAK

Baby Ruth was one of the most famous sideshow performers during the 1930s. The Fat Lady weighed 815 pounds & her goal was to get to 1,000 lb
Fattest human being ever known to medical science was the late Mrs. Ruth G. Pontico of Tampa, Fla., who was 5 ft. 5¶ in. tall and weighed 77
Three eggs, eight strips of bacon, four slices of toast, orange juice every morning- but that wasn't enough for Ruth Smith to tip the scale
sometimes I forget that "fatfur" is not synonymous with fat/weight gain/feedism fetish in general. because apparently there's people out there who like that that aren't furries. allegedly
I am obsessed lately with the idea of getting so incredibly fat, that my belly is the first thing people notice when they see me. I want to be so morbidly obese, my massive belly is hanging out of a 6XL to at least my knees. I want a wide, super deep hanging apron belly that proudly displays my dedication to gluttony to others. Unignorable and shocking extreme obesity. Too fat for clothes, barely capable of waddling. Just plain, unapologetically fat.
