COMM: This model is watching what she eats.
And so are her fans!
CAITLIN: Snack just for you!
COMM: 22-year-old Caitlin Finley is an online supersize sensation,
who specializes in a fetish known as feeding.
CAITLIN: I can eat three meat lover pizzas, four double cheeseburgers, an order or two of fries, a litre
or two of soda and two to three milkshakes normally, in one sitting.
COMM: And she's got an unlikely ally when it comes to making it big - her mum.
MUM: My favorite one is this one. Her stance is like look at me, I'm big, I'm beautiful, I got the boobs, I got the
butt and the belly! It makes me smile when I see the
photographs. I think she's beautiful and I love it. She does a great job.
COMM: Caitlin wasn't always so comfortable in her own skin. As a child she was bullied
for being big.
CAITLIN: I would be pushed down the stairs, I had food thrown at me, they would go out of their way to write 'fat pig' on my desk before I came in.
COMM: Desperate to fit in Caitlin went on a crash diet and kept
the bulge at bay for more than a year, but she still wasn't happy.
CAITLIN: I actually felt worse when I was thinner, because I felt like I had betrayed myself.
In myself I am a big person and being thin I felt like I was faking who I am to fit
in and it didn't feel right.
COMM: Then she stumbled on a group of morbidly obese women who called themselves super-size big beautiful women or SSBBW's for short.
CAITLIN: I forget who it was, but it was a big beautiful woman, she was like 600 pounds
and she just looked like a goddess. I came out of high school and immediately
started doing webcam work.
COMM: Now Caitlin, or Calico Bombshell as she's known to her legion of fans, will gorge on up to 10,000 calories in one sitting.
CAITLIN: The most unusual food requests I get are things like vanilla pudding and mayonnaise
mixed together eaten with a spoon. I've been asked to drink bacon grease or eat
just bacon fat. Yeah, for me, it's if something is greasy it's more erotic than
anything. Being able to bite into something like just drinking a milkshake or
something isn't erotic for me, but biting into a burger or a pizza that's erotic,
or if it's covered in cheese!
COMM: Caitlin was worried about what her conservative parents would think of her
career choice, but her mum has become her biggest fan and even acts as her
photographer.
CAITLIN: I love that one!
MUM: I don't like that one, I like this one.
MUM: I'm her mother and I feel that's what I should do. She loves it so and I love her so, that makes it all worth it.
CAITLIN: When my mom says she's proud of me, it makes me emotional because I feel like,
I feel like I've accomplished more than making money.
MUM: Aw, I love you.
CAITLIN: I love you too.
COMM: Her friends are also supportive.
JENNIFER: I think it's wonderful. She's being a role model for girls who are plus-size and showing everybody
that you don't have to fit in a size zero just to be awesome.
COMM: Caitlin, who's a dress size 24 and has a whopping BMI of 80, has a message to people who think she's killing herself.
CAITLIN: I say you haven't seen my doctor. I have perfect health.
I just went yesterday. My blood pressure's actually athletic perfection. I'm not
going to say that eating three pizzas, four burgers, fries and a frosty is going to,
you know, make you live to be a hundred. But if that's what makes you happy,
whatever you know?
COMM: For now, Caitlin has set herself a target of hitting 500 pounds by the time she's
thirty. When she'll have a BMI of over 100.
CAITLIN: My long-term goal is to be as big as physically possible without being bed bound.
COMM: And with mum's help she hopes to become one of the most successful SS BBW's in history.
CAITLIN: Having my mum support me means everything to me. It makes me feel like I've succeeded more than
if I would have made more money, or if I would have gotten famous right off the bat.
MUM: I'm proud of her for following her goals, for doing what she wants to do, not
what other people think she should do.
