I scrolled ahead to a random spot of her video, and found her saying this:

1:05 “Guess what? If you interact with a brand on social media, you’ll like ’em more. Didn’t say that interaction was good, didn’t say that interaction was bad. If you interact with them, they like you more. That’s easy! I can talk to people. They can hate me, but I can talk to them!”

That’s probably the moment the chipmunk in her big noggin’ really got running.
 
I don’t know why she hasn’t just come out and said why her mother and sister passed away. She must know that the speculation is out there and yet she could dispel rumors with the truth, possibly educate readers about real health issues rather than her imaginary condition. She yammers on about some of the most inane private stuff like her IUD and bleeding, Yuck!
Because talking about her mother and sister would take the attention off of her. It'd make them real people with separate lives from her, with their own struggles and triumphs. Keeping as many details to herself while focusing on how she was affected, makes sure that everyone knows who was the important one.

Also, a lot of narcissists have absolutely zero interest in people that they don't have an immediate use for. You effectively cease to exist to them, even if you've played a huge role in their life prior. It's absolutely fucking creepy how they can take you for every single thing that you have, and the second that they leave you, you're completely deleted from their head like you're obsolete software.

An IUD is a painful and cycle disrupting choice for a terminally celibate woman.

Let's enter the world of play pretend. Anna goes on dates, is compatible with men in her age and socio-economic bracket, and makes it to the sex stage. Never mind they're balding, skinny-fat, beta males, weighing less than half her weight.

Somehow, by the grace of God and the power of alcohol, Anna has tempted a man into her bed. She lets said inebriated stranger nut inside her? And miracle of miracles, her hashimotos, elhers-danlos, lipedema, mast cell activation, et cetera don't act up, and she falls pregnant?

WOW! Good thing Anna was vigilant with her birth control! We narrowly avoided a problem!

I bet it's just for managing menstrual symptoms. Fat women are much more likely to have painful cramping, for some reason. They're also much more likely to have irregular periods. Excessive fat really messes with your hormones.

An IUD is a good option for her. I bet remembering to take a pill at the same time every day was a challenge for our type A queen.

I wonder when this shot of Katy was taken. She has lost a great deal of weight from past photos. Dare I say she’s got a normal or near normal BMI. When did she lose all that weight? In the past I’ve dismissed her getting WLS but the loss is pretty dramatic. Just adds to the mystery.

Some random facts. Anna claims she and a date once went longboard surfing (how?!?) Note the prophetic “exploiting the world through a wheelchair” aka her 2023 Disney trip in the scootypuff. I think the underwear fire story has been told before.

The TL;DR Anna was just as insufferable and full of herself at 25 as she is now at 40. And just as food obsessed as there are constant, constant mentions of food.

Thank you as always @GenociderSyo.

If anything, she's become much more insufferable and full of herself—and an even bigger phony—when the trajectory for most people is in the opposite direction.

If she makes it to 55, she'll be an absolute monster.

She's likely became more miserable. At 20 it's easy to say "I've got a lot of time to do x, y and z." Now she's aging, she's feeling her body and she's done likely very little of what she thought she'd be doing
 
I'm wondering now if the whole weight loss thing was more of a way to get "fame" and be paid for it then actually wanting to be healthy. Since she already was HAES before it and obviously only went deeper into HAES. It would explain abandoning this blog moving to her new one and her new identity and then DFE-ing the weightloss portions of the blog when she was done with it to rebrand.
 
If she makes it to 55, she'll be an absolute monster.
She has good genetics, even though she insists she doesn’t. She’s tall and hearty. Genetics will carry you through all manner of bodily abuse up to about 40. And then, suddenly , they don’t.
Even if you’re healthy and take care of yourself you notice a real change early/mid forties. It’s the age you see people’s choices start to be written on their bodies. People either tend to realise this and wise up or they just carry on. The people I know who carried on boozing hard and not looking after themselves started looking twenty years older than the ones who lived more healthily at that age. It was really noticeable.
She has a choice and if she doesn’t change she is unlikely to see even 50.
 
She never could spell or write. This was supposedly for professionals?

Unless you live under a rock (aka not on Twitter) or a 65+ grandparent who lives by the beach spending any possible inheritance on chotskies (sic) made of seashells, you’ve heard the announcement about Facebook adding “@replies” to their site in the next several weeks.

No, I don’t live under a 65 year old grandparent, and what inheritance? That sentence is torturous, as are most of them. Throughout everything she wrote, she misspelled even simple words, she incorrectly substituted words such as write for right, and added inappropriate “humor”. She still uses some of these phrases that she wrote in 2010 and they were dated then. You can tell she has a GED and never graduated with the basics.

Back in 2010 there were grammar checkers, and you’d think a Type A would proofread before posting. Even on her bios there are obvious errors. I’m kind of amazed anybody hired her for any position that required decent language skills.

That rant about Southwest was a harbinger of things to come. She’s so thin-skinned she took the mild statements made by others personally, and stated she’d never fly Southwest again because they didn’t moderate comments to her liking.

But she did, of course. Many times. And still does. She also said she’d never fly United again, but still does. She makes empty threats because she thinks these companies will quake in their boots over upsetting her. She’s still doing it.

Thanks for digging that up, @GenociderSyo. I tried to read most of it but the writing was so bad it was a slog.

AnimeSucksCopesSneed should get a load of Anna because she looks a lot like the inflation fatties he loves so much. The creature on the back of his car with the huge thighs could be Anna. She may not be as dirty as Chantal but I’m sure that can be remedied. Her first romance with a famous SSBBW troll would be a beautiful addition to the timeline.

I think she means longboarding as in skateboarding. Doubt she did tho. There is no way in hell.

This is so sad. Most people who have a "live fast die young" philosophy just rapidly age themselves and live in misery for their last decade, admittedly dying quite younger than their peers. Most other people attain age and realize they don't feel old, they don't feel "over". My mom, MIL and grandma have all expressed this to me. 30 feels like 20, 50 feels like 30. You have more experiences and memories, but you realize life doesn't end until it ends, and there's so much more in the world to do and see.

Anna is approaching 40, but her health is slipping away. She has no friends, no hobbies aside from consumption. All she does is buy and throw away. She's not watching her children grow up and looking forward to grandkids, or even enjoying nieces and nephews or something. She only sees her goddaughter every year or so, where she spoils her rotten with Disneyland. She doesn't even have the experience on the horizon of helping her father as he gets older, because she is much more likely to die of obesity related illness before a fit old man starts to decline.

All she has to look forward to is the changing of the seasons so she can festoon her shitbox with seasonal plastic crap and buy 500 SHEIN bikinis. Or magic surgeries that promise relief and change (and sweet sweet pills). Or travel to strange countries, where she will not experience the culture, meet the people or learn anything about humanity. Air travel has been hellish for her for years now.

It's all so bleak. Queech and business class til she dies of choking on a ham sandwich.

She has a choice and if she doesn’t change she is unlikely to see even 50.
Given that she has the means to chase down the medical care providers of her choosing—so far, she's gone to LA, Houston, and Phoenix, and nothing's stopping her from going to SF or NYC—I think she'll end up living a surprisingly long time.

And I don't think it'll be down to cockroach luck, à la Chantal; I think it will be because the medical-pharmaceutical complex has got really good at shoring up ailing deathfats, despite their noncompliance, as long as those deathfats are willing to seek health care in the first place.

I mean, look at DeathByJen, who made it all the way to 46, despite having spent most of her life nearly immobilized by her fatness. Anna's been far healthier and more active all along, and has access to better medical care, specialists, in-home care, etc.

So while it'll probably raise a chorus of "No way!", I would not be at all surprised to see Anna live into her early 60s.

Now, will she live a good life? Will it be a happy and satisfying one? No. She'll continue to decline, continue to lose mobility, be in ever-increasing pain and discomfort, and get denied elective surgeries such as joint replacement. No amount of liposuction is going to change that.

And the harder things get for her physically, the more she's going to turn to food for comfort. I don't see her ever fixing her diet and getting her eating under control in any meaningful way, because to do so would require her to engage in a level of self-reflection she's incapable of, and a willingness to work through the uncomfortable emotions that brings, up that she simply doesn't have.

On top of that, she'll keep getting older, and uglier, and sicker, and more embittered, and thus less appealing as an influencer on the part of her followers and sponsors alike. She can't Girlboss or Confidence Queen her way out of that. So her audience will keep shrinking, and being less and less engaged, and she won't be able to do anything about it. And she just doesn't have the creativity she'd need to re-position herself and her "brand."

It's going to be really interesting to watch her deal with all of this in the coming decade or two (because, as a Narcissist, she can't not put it all online). I'm here for it.
 
While I agree with @Angry New Ager that she’s likely to live longer than most deathfats, I think that only applies if she stays uninjured. As long as she continues to pretend she’s a fitness queen, the greater the possibility of a serious injury. At her age, a knee or leg injury could make her so sedentary for so long that she may not be able to recover. Combining that with her comfort eating, it would all be a wash.

Going down the munchie road could lessen her fitness arc, but she is currently straddling both ideas so we’ll see.

I’m here for it too.

I agree with both of you but in all honesty I think her willingness to degrade and harm herself in the name of pride makes her a suicide risk. At some point, for some reason, her mobility and fame will decline and I think she would take the coward’s way out just to show the haters how strong she is. It’s a feeling I just have.
 
Because talking about her mother and sister would take the attention off of her. It'd make them real people with separate lives from her, with their own struggles and triumphs. Keeping as many details to herself while focusing on how she was affected, makes sure that everyone knows who was the important one.

Maybe she’s embarrassed by how they died and people will think she might die the same way? Especially if it’s weight related. That might be how a narcissist or a person in denial about addictions handles things. And maybe their issues were big “ don’t talk about”issues in the family, especially if they were Mormon. In adult children of alcoholics meetings (ACA) we learn that the the family code is don’t speak, don’t feel, so things are very harshly repressed in Alcoholic families, and sometime it skips a generation where say Anna’s parents might not have been alcoholics but they were brought up by them and think and function the same way.

There is an enzyme that is genetic, where people can’t process alcohol, and it acts different in their body. It doesn’t get broken down in the stomach by the enzyme and it gets dumped straight into the blood stream instead of the small intestine and it is in the form of acetylcholine and goes straight to the brain and acts as a stimulant.

In people who are normal and have the enzymes to digest alcohol, it is processed correctly through the small intestine and becomes whatever chemical compound is normal (I forget the name) and the byproduct of all of that digestion acts as a depressant which alcohol usually does on people.

St. John the Baptist was foretold to his parents and the angel told them he must never drink fermented drinks. And he had those attributes of an alcoholic even though he never drank, he was willing to run wildly out in the wilderness for days, so people who go on quests might be the same people without the enzyme, just like how mice with toxoplasmosis don’t fear cats anymore.

And an unusual response to something by definition is an allergy! And that allergy is passed down genetically but not to every family member but you’ll find the allergy in the genes probably in the grandparents and because having parent or parents who are alcoholics is such a traumatic mind breaking situation that leads to generations of messed up kids. They say suicide affects a family for three generations and that has been true in my family, my kid and niece are pretty normal but my mother, me and my sister are all fucked up cause my grandfather killed himself when my mom was eleven. My dad taught me you should never ever kill yourself if you have kids, and that has stuck with me and actually saved my life over and over again, I actually had my child young by choice as a coping mechanism to have something to live for which is not ok, a child should not be born with a job but I was 19 and didn’t know then what I know now and wish I did. See, alcoholism in families causes so much fuck ups. This generation of kids, mine and my sisters, are pretty stable and secure with minor emotional quirks, their children will be just fine, so when the say the sins of the fathers haunt generations it’s really true, environmentally and genetically, just like dog breeding, it takes a while to breed things out, some cycles.
A relative in my family web kept very hushed about their drinking and food addiction problems, but especially the drinking. She mentioned she had to go to the hospital because she “overdrank” after I visited her and talked a lot about being an alcoholic in recovery. She showed me her paperwork and she had freaking wet brain!!!!! She came out of it but wow. And she had this giant wine crate in her garage like the size of a standard stove!
