We all want our loved ones to reach for their goals -- but would you be supportive if that dream could prove deadly? Thirty-three-year-old single mother Susanne says that she's not trying to lose weight by her June 2013 wedding -- she's in a race to gain more -- and reach 800 pounds by her big day. Just how much does Susanne weigh now? See what the scale reveals. Plus, what does Susanne's family think about her big dream? The bride-to-be says she takes pride in having been fitted for the largest wedding dress in history and last year, shocked the world by announcing that she aims to reach a target weight of 1,600 pounds. Susanne says she is consuming up to 30,000 calories per day with the help of her 38-year-old fiancé, Parker, a chef, who prepares many of her meals. Is he feeding his future wife to death? Susanne admits that the added weight is taking its toll, and she often lacks the energy to walk without assistance. Still, she says she's not ashamed of her shape and wishes more women would embrace their curves. Can Dr. Phil help Susanne see the seriousness of her condition before it's too late? You'll be shocked by what happens.
