Early life, marriage and pregnancy

Mikel was a normal-sized young woman and in her early 20s weighed an above average 13 stone (180 lb).[citation needed] But at 22, she put on 4 stone (56 lb) after having first child Andrew. After daughters Destynee, Autumn, and Justyce followed, her weight and hips ballooned further.

She eats an average 5,000 calories a day.

It is possible that this extraordinary accumulation of fat tissue is an advanced stage of a medical condition called lipedema.
