Chantal didn’t get ANY big teeth?

Chantal didn’t get ANY big teeth?

I don't know if it wasn't any adult teeth or simply not any adult molars. If she's ever clarified, I don't remember.

I also thought of a few things I left off my list:

• History of STDs, including throat gonorrhea and trichomoniasis.
• History of bacterial vaginosis (supposedly cured by swimming in Cuba-- the same thing that allowed her to find God, and no, I'm not making any of this up. The lord works in mysterious and really gross ways, apparently).
• Longtime sleep apnea, first diagnosed by her mother (who is some flavor of nurse) when she noticed that Chantal stopped breathing while napping. She uses a CPAP, aka a lifesaving medical device that the bolice [sic] must retrieve when it is held hostage by a crackhead.

She's had a history of wounds that heal badly, including the splitting hysterectomy scar and a boil I prefer not to think about.

She didn’t split her hysterectomy scar as much as that makes her seem an even bigger fatty than she is, she got a seroma (fluid buildup) under it that broke through the surface. As for boils, she’s had at least two that caused ER visits, one on her back (bra line) during the luxury villa days, and another during her first trip to Thailand. Both were severe enough to require routine packing. Of course Chantal being herself didn’t let the nurse in at the villa because she would visit in the morning, and we never saw any clinic visits for packing while in Thailand.

But according to Chins, everyone has had boils, right? (Not me or anyone I know.) She really thinks her health problems, her mindset (e.g., laughing hysterically at farts over 40 years of age) and living on fast food is "normal."

Even if getting a boil in ones lifetime might be normal (it may well be, I don’t know), talking about it in graphic detail on the internet is not normal.

A small one once in a great while isn’t too unusual, but big ones that require ER care are not normal. One thing that exacerbates boils: diabetes.

What would happen if she got her rotten Baby teeth yanked out. Would adult teeth come in? Or does she just not have any - perhaps due to a birth defect that was maybe caused by Smee drinking?

It does seem like shes gotten some work or cleaning done on her teeth. They look less dirty than they did when she lived in Leafland.

I often can't help but feel that obesity needs to be redefined as more than just your weight.

Redefining a condition is nothing new. Diabetes Mellitus used to be defined as having pee that tastes sweet to the doctor!!

We're all aware of outliers who are only "obese" by BMI standards but have a high muscle mass, etc., which honestly reminds me more of people with "athletes heart" (which would otherwise be bradycardia + oversized heart), autistic hyperfixation (which isn't really stigmatized as much as the similar hypomania), or having a large frame for a woman.

But I also think emphasizing weight leaves out why obesity is deadly- all that extra fat.

Obesity should be defined as a form of swelling resulting from excess storage of body fat. It is a metabolic disorder resulting from compulsive behavior.

Sounds a lot grosser than just a bigger number on the scale.

Plus who knows if certain forms of localized obesity are worse. Defining obesity as being above a certain weight for your height and maybe gender, frankly, is like measuring sound as decibels and only decibels.

It kind of already is. There needs to be an easy measure that’s ok for most people and that’s what bmi is. It’ll never be perfect for everyone. It’s just a quick and dirty screening method, and on top of this you’re supposed to look at the whole patient.
No decent doctor is going to see a stacked prop forward in amazing shape and tell him off for being obese with a bmi of 31 of he’s pure muscle. No decent doctor is going to tell a patient with a bmi of 29 and high blood sugar to not diet.
There also measures like waist circumference and there are different bli bands for various ethnic origins as well - Asians have lower thresholds to be considered overweight and obese.
The cases of sportsmen being classed as overweight are also all edge cases. Some massive bloke built like a brick shithouse might be just into a higher category but nobody is healthy at 40bmi. Some of our pet death fats have bmis over 100.
As for Heart rates, I’ve seen that first hand. Used to know a guy who was an ultra endurance athlete who had some insane low resting heartbeat, the local uni used to have him in to test their students on. They play act and the students had to guess what was wrong with them. The answer in his case was ‘nothing.’ lol. But again, a brief look at the bloke would show you he was in incredible shape, and the most cursory of histories (which is what the students would be tested on doing) would show what he did for fun. Oddly most students say Bradycardia, but it’s a teaching excercise
It’s genuinely mainly not a problem in the real world - the real issue is the skinny fat who are unfit with normal BMI but the people making a fuss about it are all mysteriously fat
Also localised obesity yes. Having a fat arse is mi ch better for you than holding it all as central abdominal fat of you’re a woman

Found a pretty interesting vid by Kiana Dochtery i figure this thread may find interesting.

I want to know how’s she’s avoided any major hospital stay. By major I mean one week or more, due to a serious situation. Age? Luck?

By all accounts, especially having untreated diabetes and her size, metabolic issues are a really big risk for her. Cardiac as well. She has yet to have a stroke, heart attack etc and she’s had blood clots before. She does seems to have issues with boils but not cellulitis.

Internally her organs must be dripping in fat and enlarged. I know it’s not new information, just surprising. We know she has no gallbladder and she had a hysterectomy because fat, and the diabetes is also a consequence of her gluttony but other than the odd er visit here and there she hasn’t been that sick.

Both luck and age, I guess, but... This will go only so far. Her high blood pressure, diabetes, high salt intake are damaging many organs. In general, most organs will still be functioning till they they reach a certain level where they fail. Her kidneys were showing a certain level of distress a year or two ago. She has not done anything to help them.

She is not going to be a bit sick, takes a few pills and be back a couple of days later to have some KFG. If her kidneys fails, she will need western world level of medical interventions, something that she cannot afford in Syria, the Middle East, or anywhere else but Canada. Chantal does not carry any type of medical insurance. When this happens, her health will rapidly deteriorate, with no coming back. You can apply this to stroke, health attack, liver failure, etc. Everything is fun and giggles till it is not.
