at 24st its my dream job
WHEN 24 stone Sassy Thomas reaches for a twelfth chocolate chip muffin to scoff, she does not feel the slightest bit of guilt.
Unlike most women who struggle with their weight, Sassy, 30, never feels bad about spending the day stuffing herself with junk food - in fact she is PAID to do it.
Sassy, from Tottenham, North London, makes over ?2000-a-month selling videos and pictures of herself eating mountains of food while rubbing her 63-inch belly, to men who have a fetish for fat.
Enjoying a tipple ... Sassy Thomas
The proud member of the Big Beautiful Woman (BBW) club, gave up her ?15k-a-year job as a night security guard when she discovered that thousands men were willing to pay to watch BBW's eat.
Sassy, who spends ?150-a-week on food for herself and is a dress size 32, says: "I eat super-sized portions for a photo shoot or video.
"In the past I have scoffed three pizzas the size of dustbin lids, a Chinese take-away for four and a whole death-by-chocolate cake, with a tub of ice-cream.
"It's the perfect job for me.
"I get to guzzle my favourite foods all day, and get paid for it.
"I am proud of the work I do."
Sassy, who struggled with her weight from childhood, has not always been proud of her body.
She says: "I have been overweight for as long as I can remember, and by the age of eight, I was already being teased for my size.
"Life was really hard being the fat kid.
"Other children would call me names and single me out as being 'the fat one'.
"As a 10-year-old, I was wearing an adult size 14 clothes and my parents put me on my first diet."
After six years of seeing doctors and nutritionists, Sassy could still not shift the pounds and at 16-years-old, she weighed a massive 20stone.
She says: "I had already grown to 6ft tall, so did not exactly fit into a crowd of teenage girls.
"Sometimes I felt that life wasn't fair, and I felt miserable about the way I looked.
"If I only knew then what I now - that some men love big women - I wouldn't have felt so depressed about my size."
After leaving school at 18, Sassy started work as a minimum wage security guard.
On the long night shifts she read fashion magazines about glamorous celebrities and the lifestyles they led.
She says: "The idea of being adored by thousands of people seemed so out of my reach.
"As an overweight security guard, my life was so unglamorous."
But during a day off from work two years ago, Sassy discovered the online community that would change her life forever.
"I was feeling miserable and started thinking that there must be a social networking site for overweight women.
"When I typed it into Google, BBW websites, forums, dating agencies sprung up.
"It was like a whole world had opened up to me - finally I felt like I belonged to something positive and that my size was no longer a burden."
Sassy signed up for one of the forums and created a profile with a picture.
"Within minutes I had 20 emails in my inbox from men who were interested in seeing more of me.
"They were all saying things, like: 'I love your belly,' 'You're really sexy,' and 'Will you eat a roast chicken for me?'
"Some men asked me to post more pictures of myself up on the forum, which I did.
"That got me even more attention, and I was receiving hundreds of messages.
"I couldn't believe it - there were so many men who went mad for big girls.
"I was in demand and I felt like a goddess."
Sassy started chatting to a member of BBW, Jenny, on a forum, who said she had made money from selling pictures of herself.
Obese ... Sassy as a teenager
"I was struggling on a ?15k job that I hated, and trying to pay off loans and credit cards, so I was curious and asked her about it.
"I knew I didn't want to do anything in the nude, as that's just not me.
"But Jenny explained that it wasn't ~~~~ in any way.
"There were hundreds of men that like to watch fat girls eat, and will pay big bucks for photographs or videos of it.
"I couldn't believe that I could make money from being photographed eating takeaways - it sounded like the most perfect job in the world."
Sassy discovered that she could make enough to give up her job completely, as there were men queuing up to buy pictures and videos for between ?5 to ?40 each.
Fellow BBW Jenny gave Sassy details on how to set up her own website and ways on selling the pictures safely.
"I went to the supermarket before my first photo shoot to stock up on all my favourite foods that I could gorge on in the pictures.
"Jenny had told me that men preferred fattening, messy foods, like chocolate gateaux's or pizza's.
"Having felt guilty for my whole life about eating foods like that, I was incredibly excited at having a proper reason to scoff them."
After setting her camera up, Sassy got stuck in to a creamy Pavlova and devoured a huge chocolate cake with a smile on her face.
She says: "I ate some with my hands, some spilling cream and crumbs down my chin and lifting my size 32 blouse to rub my belly.
"Initially, it felt really silly - I'd always been taught good manners by my parents and to be messy seemed quite rebellious.
"But then I started to enjoy it, and didn't have to force myself to smile in the pictures - I was genuinely happy."
When Sassy uploaded her first pictures, men - known as fat admirers - inundated her with more requests for pictures.
"The fat admirers were desperate for more.
"Some wanted me to pose with a pizza or chocolate bars, while others wanted me to rub my belly the whole time."
Sassy quickly built up a fan base, with admirers all around the world logging on to her website and paying for pictures of her guzzling food.
Now, having been an internet sensation for two years, Sassy has no plans to change her career.
"I spend ?150-a-week on delicious food for myself, which my admirers pay for - it's wonderful.
"There's something liberating about allowing yourself to be messy with your food and I love every minute of it.
"I've paid off my debts and live the high life as a super-sized model.
"I can earn over ?2000-a-month and have been able to quit my job, go on holidays and work whatever hours I like.
"Most importantly though, I can finally be myself without ever feeling guilty again."
