While many young women are desperately dieting to drop the pounds, one girl is force-feeding herself with a funnel in a bid to become as fat as possible.
Tammy Jung, 23, was once a healthy eight-stone teenager who wore skinny jeans, loved playing volleyball and going out with friends.
But in a bizarre reversal of a crash diet, Tammy turned her back on her slim good looks, and spends her days indoors stuffing herself with fried chicken, donuts and whole blocks of cheese.
She even allows boyfriend Johan Ubermen, 28, to pour ice cream milkshakes down her throat, in an attempt to put away 5,000 calories a day.
Tammy's frightening diet has seen her weight soar 3.5 stones every six months, and she now weighs a hefty 16.5 stones.
The once svelte young woman is piling on the pounds to earn money as a Big Beautiful Woman on internet websites and hopes to one day top 30 stone.
Tammy, who has fat-loving male fans from around the world, has been warned she is putting her health at risk and shortening her life.
But the determined young gainer celebrates every pound she adds and insists she doesn't care about damaging her body.
She said: "I've never been happier than I am working to put on weight - nothing will stop me achieving my dream.
"I know it's controversial but it's no one else's business - eating makes me happy."
Aided by her feeder boyfriend Johan, Tammy chomps her way through up to 30 donuts a day and stacks of pancakes and waffles.
Johan, her boyfriend of eight months, doesn't worry about the attention from other men.
He said: "I noticed early on that she really likes to eat and was eating more than me when we went for dinner - I was impressed.
"I would love her no matter what she looked like."
Incredibly, Tammy's family have no idea what she does for a living - or that her weight gain is deliberate.
She said: "My family have noticed that I a putting on weight but they still don't know I'm doing it on purpose.
"They probably wouldn't agree with it but I'm making a living and supporting myself."
