Dolly Dimples was a sideshow fat lady who weighed 555 lbs. In the mid-1900s. She was born Celesta Herrmann in Cincinnati on July 18, 1901. As a baby her eating habits and weight were amongst normal ranks. Her early weight gain was contributed to the visitations of a family friend. The friend was a butcher that often played with young Dolly and the game involved dangling bits of butchered meat in front of her. Thanks to this game and her early eating disorder, her first word was “meat”. As she grew older her fascination with food grew along with her appetite. She often spent her allowance by buying baked goods and cookies. In 1950, Dolly suffered a near fatal heart attack. Her Doctors told her to alter her diet or else she would die. While frightened, she decided to changer her eating habits. In fourteen month she weighed 112 pounds. She had lost over 443 pounds by limiting her diet to baby food! Baby food doesn’t sound that bad now, huh?
