Is it just me or is Anna looking especially ugly recently?

The clips of her at the pool are obviously horrific for what they reveal about her body, but her face is looking different to me, and not just because of the color of her skin. I thought her nose was looking wider and lumpier than normal, and her mouth is extra pinched. Is her face fattening up in a way that will lead to further facial deformity, like that Buzzfeed Kitchen lady with the tranny husband?
I was watching Ilona’s retro react to the original Hawaii Hiking video (wasn’t that also the Psychosomatic Shrimp episode?) and while Anna was possibly heavier then than she is now (I think her neck was fatter then, at the very least), I still thought her face looked less ugly than it does today. Anna has never, not even for a single moment of a single day in her entire 40 years on this planet been pretty, but she was at least less ugly than she is now.
But what is the endgame here for Anna? Plenty of men and women decide to get their health and fitness together as part of an overall plan to improve their status. Whether that means acquiring a spouse or a better career, the fitness is a great thing to have, but I think a lot of people see it as the thing that demonstrates their suitability for other things (marriage, career advancement, etc), similar to a college degree (no one cares what you studied, just that you have demonstrated the ability to complete a course of study and fulfill requirements). She gave us a vapid list of things she wants to accomplish, some of which she’s already done, but those things don’t compile into a larger theme. Even if doing the splits was new for her, so what? What does that do? What does that show? What does that mean? It means nothing, really. Doing the splits is not really an indicator of fitness the way walking up a single flight of stairs without losing your breath is.
She knows how to set her mind to something until she either succeeds or fails at it (then memory holes it), but she doesnt’ know how to set real goals. Related to this is the fact that she can obviously follow simple directions (beading that awful pony-bead thing she was making, it looked okay, no knots or obvious tangles) but she cannot, herself, create a set of directions on how to do something new or even create a basic routine, and she may not finish the thing she started, even with clear directions (whatever happened to the pony bead thing? What was it supposed to be?). I believe the heart of creativity is the desire to create order from chaos (or nothing), and I think Anna completely lacks the desire or ability to create order of any kind, which is probably what makes me the most angry with regard to her fake creativity/craft girlie identity.
I don’t understand why Anna chose a life for herself that she is so desperately unequipped to live.
