New York, NY — February 12, 2015 – INSIDE EDITION exclusivelyspeaks with Susanne Eman, the once 800lb 36-year-old who was hoping to be the largest bride in America. Eman tells INSIDE EDITION that right before her wedding day, she was jilted by her fiancé.

Eman: “Everything was supposed to be perfect and then he split.”

Before Eman’s wedding, she decided to lose weight and slimmed down to 450lbs. Shortly after, Eman says her fiancé split. She tells INSIDE EDITION she was heartbroken but, worse yet, was unhappy with her new figure.

Eman: “What bothered me was seeing my body shrink. I felt absolutely tiny.”

Eman tells INSIDE EDITION she immediately began eating more to regain the weight she lost. She’s now at 600lbs.

Eman also reveals that she’s found love again, with Nick Abbate, a 36-year-old who says he too once was morbidly obese, but now weighs 168lbs. Abbate, who met Eman online, tells INSIDE EDITION why he fell for her.

ABBATE: “I find her very sexy and very attractive.” 

Abbate is the author of weight loss and nutrition books, but tells INSIDE EDITION that he is supportive of Eman’s goal to be the heaviest woman in America.

ABBATE: “She likes to eat.”
