The emotional trauma lead her to retreat to the one thing that eased her: food. She continued consuming food heavily throughout the years. As a high schooler, she weighed about 300 lbs . At her peak, she was nearly 600 lbs. Before reaching her maximum weight, she met Joey Perez, a man who liked the way she looked as he was attracted to heavy women. The two got married, and after being bedridden, as she got too heavy to move, Laura became totally dependent on her husband for even the most basic daily 7: Marla McCants Marla McCants is another woman who appeared on TLC's "My 600 lbs Life".

But what made her famous was when she allegedly killed her own nephew, and was dubbed as the "half ton killer". Her 2 year old nephew Eliseo was taken to the hospital in March 2008 suffering from a traumatic head injury coupled with breathing difficulties. He later died, and the half ton Mayra was arrested on murder charges. 5: The McGuire Twins In 1946, twin brothers Billy and Benny McCrary were born normal just like any other babies. But their pituitary glands went haywire after contracting Rubella, and the two started gaining weight uncontrollably. Their parents tried cutting down their food, and putting them to heavy work in order to bring their weight down. But they kept on growing sideways while tipping the scale. At ten years old each weighed 200 lb. At 16, they reached 600 lbs. At their peak, they both weighed more than 700 lb ( or 300 kg) each. 4: Carol Yager Carol Yager holds two world records; as the heaviest female ever recorded in history, and for losing the most weight ever in the shortest documented time.

At the age of 32, her bedridden lifestyle brought her to the hospital, suffering from cellulitis due to bacterial infection and a weakened immune system. 3: Manuel "Meme" Uribe Garza But after moving to the United States as an illegal immigrant, he gradually gained more and more weight.

He became immobile, and got stuck on his bed for 6 years, weighing 1316 lb (or 597 kg) at his peak. He made an emotional plea on television to get help in 2006, and was the subject in a documentary called "The World's Heaviest Man". 2: Khalid Bin Mohsen Shaari This is what happened to Khalid Bin Mohsen Shaari, a young citizen of Saudi Arabia who at the age of 22 had a Body Mass Index of 204, setting a world record for the highest ever documented in human history. His lack of mobility prevented him from leaving his house for more than 2 years. His condition caught the attention of the ruling monarch at the time, King Abdullah. In 2013, King Abdullah ordered his subject to be moved to the country's capital Riyadh to receive treatment in the King Fahd Medical City. 1: Jon Brower Minnoch Jon Brower Minnoch, the American who at his peak weighed a whopping 1400 lb (or 635 kg).

Despite his condition, he still managed to marry at the age of 36, even fathering 2 children. That marriage meant he broke another world record which is for the greatest weight difference between a husband and wife. His wife was a normal woman weighing only 110 lb (or 50 kg).
