Amberlynn Reid - 600 pound pathological liar and U-Haul lesbian moving in with her next live-in maid/nurse/girlfriend.

[BigALandGrannySweaters]

Did some research, Factory Connection is a TJ Maxx type of store - according to Becky's FB she is working in "sales". If she's really working there, AL is going to spend Beck's whole check on last season's Coach wallets and unseasonable cardigans. Perhaps the shit show will get back on the road, it's beyond boring now.

We actually used to have a Factory Connection back home where I'm from and unless something has changed AL will never EVER be able to fit into the clothes there & they don't have knock off Coach stuff. Unless something has changed. I haven't been there in forever because when I was a teen I was NOT skinny and was no where near AL 600 pounds and I couldn't fit a leg into their clothes.

I used to always just snoop around on here and read, but had to make an account after recent actions.

This girl makes me crazy! I have 2 cats. I actually only have 1 litter box for them because I clean it out daily - sometimes multiple times. Anyway, I work a full time job and when I come home the kitten I just got runs at me like he hasn't seen me in a million years. I cannot imagine how her cats must feel being abandoned for longer lengths of time. Shoot I feel bad if I have to go out of town over night and still have someone come look in on them to make sure they are okay.

I joined weight watchers actually around the time that AL did because there was a special going on then - 3 months for a little more than $30 or something like that. I used my current weight at the time to get my points and I have since lost 15 pounds and that's with my birthday thrown in during this time and still enjoying it BUT also staying within my points. I don't know why she wasted her money to join weight watchers (if she actually did) if she's not going to use it.

Weight Watchers works IF you stay within your points. I have an issue with binge eating too. I am no where NEAR the size of AL. There is nothing wrong with the system. If you use it it works. If you don't it won't. She's clearly not using it. She did it MAYBE one day for the video (and we all know she probably ate stuff she didn't film) and after that day it's been wide open eating everything in sight.

I know from experience that weight is a huge struggle. It is something that I have struggled with for YEARS. It's something that's very difficult to get a hold of. She is someone that would NOT benefit from weight loss surgery because you have to be focused to have that as well. I have several people in my life that have had weight loss surgery and sure you can lose the weight, but if you do not change your habits and go back to doing the same thing as you were before you will just gain all the weight back and then some - I've seen it happen. You have to be disciplined and we all know that this is something she clearly lacks just from the fact that she couldn't even do Weight Watchers for 2 days.

She is going to die at over 600 pounds. I hate to be that way, but it's the truth.

She's doesn't have a wart, guise.

Just like she doesn't have a double chin.

 

[Mrs.MichaelRooker]

Just like she doesn't have a double chin.

Or a fupa

 

[Clown Baby]

Or a fupa

To be fair, fupa has been changed from its original meaning to mean basically a gunt. Fupa used to mean "a fat pubis" which is a thing, and some normal weight women have a chubby pubis. What we now call fupa is technically a pannus or panniculus or "flesh apron" to doctors.

Big A has a pannus, which we now call a fupa. She said she didn't have one but it was clear she was going by the originally intended definition (fat upper pussy area).

 

[honeybooboochild]

It's a keloid scar that is associated with her nose piercing or that's what she claims. Although she didn't use the term "keloid" because she is simple. She explained it in the "all about my piercings video"

Well now on askfm, she's saying it's 'just a mole I've had since I was like 10. lol' Sure, it's likely not a wart, but I still can't wait for the day when that thing sprouts a hair

Edited to include screenshot just for fun

 

[Interventionist]

I have to ask this because it's making me crazy. She swears before Destiny threw that surprise birthday party in 2016 Amber said that she never had a birthday party. Can you either confirm or deny this? I've seen my share of drug addicted parents but I've yet to see one that hasn't had a party for their child on a birthday. I can understand maybe they didn't go all out and rent a pony and a bouncy house but not even a cake with a few friends and family members?

I will confirm with my sister, but I'm pretty sure that's another straight lie!
For multiple reasons, highly doubtful
I will follow up on this...

 

[SpokesBottom]

Since there's no real substantial AL content recently, I've been going back over her old videos. This is probably weird to complain about but there's this specific one that I can't remember the title of where she tells the strangest, weirdest lie I've heard from her that just makes zero sense to me to this day. It's the one where she talks about her OCD and she mentions she learned the alphabet in ASL (presumably just the alphabet, since that's all she mentions knowing about Sign Language) and she mentions one of her """Crazy Compulsions"""" was that she would... sign everything everyone was saying to her? Like, does she mean letter-by-letter?

Slight PL, but I took ASL during HS (I needed the credit, and everyone said it was an easy A.) It was easier than others, mostly because it was muscle memory and not linguistic, but it was still a challenge. Fingerspelling was the first shit that they teach you how to do, and even after those 2 years of (barely) practicing outside of class, my hands would cramp up after a basic 5 minute conversation if it had a lot of fingerspelling in it.

Unless she was signing the beginning letter and the end letters of every word, I really doubt her little exceptional brain would be able to keep up. If she could do that shit than she'd be the most efficient ASL translator of all time. So it's obviously a lie to make her seems quirky or some shit, but it's so stupid I can't even pretend to take it seriously.

What other weird lies (that haven't been mentioned recently) have you guys scratching your heads? Her not being able to sweat? Her being an award winning dance choreographer who was in all the local newspapers (despite never trying to find an archive of that newspaper online for proof?)

 

[Feelsbad]

Check out her twitter for some new information, most notably:

-She is no longer on Weight Watchers.
-She is not getting rid of Twinkie (but omitted whether or not the cats were staying)
-Her and Destiny are still friends.
-She doesn't have diabetes.
-She is not faking her weigh ins.
-The only income she has comes from YouTube and YouNow.
-She doesn't have troll accounts.

Big fucking lol.

So essentially, everything we predicted here. The cats are most likely already gone. She gave up on WW probably the same day she started it and we already know she has troll accounts. It's okay though, Amber doesn't read these forums anyway. *EYEROLL*

One of my favorite lies was one that Destiny caught her in on camera. It was at the beginning of a vlog and she was like "guys we have LITURALLY done nothing today" and Destiny goes "we went to McDonalds." hahaha Yeah, D!

Another good one I just thought of: the spider/frog scaring her and her claiming that she chased the dog and cat down in the yard. We know she can't manage more than a shuffling waddle.

 

[Derpaherp]

Looks like AL needs to go to a gym or a doctors office where the scales are calibrated. But lezzzzzzbeeeerealll. Both of those are probably just as scary to her as her weight is to everyone else.

 

[Tiny Clanger]

Actually, the weight thing could well be her scales. Not nonsense like flat batteries, but any pair of domestic scales gets less and less accurate as it nears maximum weight limit. Getting on them once is absolutely no guarantee you'll get anything like your correct weight (although the little person trapped inside throws away the calculation tables and just screams "GET OFF!")

The other part is the tare of the scales. I don't know about digital ones in domestic use, but all manual ones regularly need re-setting, and very fine digital scales need to be tared every time. We will gloss over how I know that, ahem. But she's nearly at the limit of domestic scales, takes one reading and has likely never re-tared them - add that in with the natural fluctuations of the day which are magnified in morbid obesity and there could easily be a 20-30lb margin of error.

Everyone except those dumb twats who shriek "you lost 1lb and look AMAZING!" knows she's gained, including her when backed into a corner. But mentally, it's much easier for her to accept what the scales say as long as they are wrong in the "right" way. She has a huge capacity for denial (I think a lot of the lies and obfuscations are about maintaining that denial; reality is just too harsh) and, judging by how poorly she was moving and breathing, she's going to have a crisis sooner rather than later. But then look at James K on 600lb Life - he rationalised a heart attack into gaining 60lbs.

I also think maybe she's not uploading because she's truly very depressed (yah boo sucks feelz. I'll have myself shot for it) and honestly can't put the face on any more. She'll see this as hate, she sees us all as haters, but it's frustration. I want to laugh at her ridiculous life, but still want her to be happy in her ridiculousness. She's not. But she won't do anything about any of it.....until she dies? None of us,want that, we truly don't.

Scuse typos.long story.

Yes! Honestly I would cheer her own if she actually DID something and stuck with it - like her weight loss. She didn't even give Weight Watchers a day before she gave up. If she did something and stuck with it and stopped being such a flop I would have no reason to come here.

 

[SpokesBottom]

I've been a longtime lurker of this thread for a while and first time poster (thanks to the mod for disabling guest posting I actually got off my ass and took the two seconds to make an account) and the one thing I noticed that isn't really addressed much in thread about AL's horrible habits (compulsive buying, bad diet, no exercise) is her sleep schedule.

Sleep is a really tricky thing, because having too little isn't healthy, but having too much is also bad too. But sleep IS important; like, really important. It basically puts your whole body on reset, and helps you digest food and repair your body or whatever. So because her sleep schedule is so out of whack, she has even less energy than she should and therefore automatically goes for the foods that are going to give her quick bursts of energy when she wakes up (ie. sugary cereals and bars), which leads to a crash later.

It fucks your metabolism up, it fucks your body's ability to process fat/energies up, it fucks your hormones up, it can actually make your mental illnesses MUCH WORSE it's a total mess. It's one of the pitfalls that people suffering from depression have a hard time getting out, and probably her as well. Because it leads to such a negative cycle. Speaking from experience, once you get over that hump and fix your sleeping schedule, it's like a big "eureka!" moment. The rest doesn't come easy, but it gets you in the right direction. If she could just start by fixing that, she could probably make actual progress.

What does she even do at 2, 3, 4 in the morning, anyway? It's not like she has friends in different timezones, her worldview is no bigger than her town. Everyone she knows is probably dead asleep themselves.

Do you think she watches those tacky jewelry exhibits on the Shopping Network that take advantage of unsuspecting old people? Probably.

I understand that you feel that way, and I can't say that I wish death on AL, but I don't want her to do well. If she started eating right and losing weight tomorrow she would still be a lying, egotistical, smug, greedy, attention-seeking, professional victim. She has used and abused every person she's dated, which also extends to using and mooching off of their families, she neglects animals, she constantly talks herself up (how she's so generous, not at all selfish, a good friend, an altruistic person who like totally saves homeless people all the time) - in short, she would be a scumbag if she weighed 100 lbs.

I hate her because she is a bad person. She can't even write her mom a letter in jail, yet she cries on camera about how sad she is that her mom has cancer. She's just a gross person, and I've dealt with people like her in my life that are toxic to others while waving that victim flag as hard as they can. In the end, the only thing you can do is cut ties with people like her. That's why all her girlfriends dump her and she cycles through friends.

If she came out and said "yes I used people, yes I contradict myself all the time, yes I know I now weigh 500 lbs but I am embarrassed to tell people, yes I lied about Kasey sexually abusing me, I am sorry for all of those things and I am entering into a therapy program to fix what's wrong inside me" then maybe I would cheer her on. But that would never happen because she really does think she's a good person, undeserving of "hate," just as she is right now. Like you said, reality is too harsh for her.

 

[Can I get an Amen?]

We are getting of track, here. We aren't discussing some "normal" woman with a weight problem. This is a pathological, manipulative, person who has multiple addictions- one being food. Her weight, her junked up home decor and tacky jewelry are all evidence of her addictions.
I am fairly certain the girl knows how to work a damn scale. She just lies instead of dealing with it.

I hadn't seen @Clown Baby post yet. You did a better job of explaining the point!

 

[cruelsound]

What is the video where her troll accounts were exposed? It was mentioned on her Ask today Sorry if I missed it on this thread.

 

[Tiny Clanger]

@Clown Baby Yep, agreed - that's why I say I'd still watch and pick because, honestly, her weight is the least of her problems. She's a great fat sack of narcy, manipulative, using behaviours to whom everybody and everything is disposable.

"Happy" was the wrong word for me to use, but what I mean is that she needs to address ALL these things, and we have no idea what exacerbates what. For instance, depressed people can have such a distorted view of reality but not realise it that it changes how they see and interract with everyone else. She's a mess, but how bad does it have to get for her to actually recognise that and take steps to address it? We can't tow her to a bloody therapist, but what has to happen for her to realise she's not doing things right? How many people have to leave her before the bulb lights up? How many times is she going to completely throw away and "restart" her life and fuck the casualties because its all about Amber. Always.

The pet situation just pisses me off so much, but in terms of the people? How many warning signs do THEY need? The people who force accountability - like Tammie (@Interventionist) get thrown away because there seems to be a never-ending supply of enabling idiots who just screw up all the ef g orts of those who genuinely try to help her.

Put it like this. If ever I behave like such a self-obsessed arsehole, I want my friends to tell me. And I doubt anybody else here decides that the solution to your friends/family giving you a dose of reality is to jettison them, find a compketely new bunch of enabling cretins, infiltrate and appropriate their lives, all the while changing to reflect them. How many times does the model have to fail before you wise up? Maybe an ok person would rise from the ashes after one of her chameleonic changes, but not if she'll never, EVER take responsibility. Until then, she's just pasdling to stay bouyant but refuses to accept it.

AAAAAAARGHHHH!

She's up all night binging, that's why she can't fall asleep earler than 4 am. It's also why she's not hungry when she rolls out of bed at 1 pm. She always proudly states that she doesn't feel like eating breakfast and won't eat until 4 pm, ("I haven't eat-un anything all day!") but that's because her body is still trying to digest the thousands of calories she ate the previous night.

It wasn't meant to be off-track, I'm sorry. In short, I mean she will accept a fiction if it suits her. She does know how to work scales, but right now they tell a story she likes - or at least doesn't hate. To her, that becomes a kind of truth.

She's fucked-up but fucked-up can be complicated. We have no proof she is lying about the scales or throwing them somehow and extrapolation can too easily become "fact." She chooses whether or not to show weigh-ins; if her scale doesn't give an acceptable answer she just wouldn't upload it. Everything she does is to maintain her fabricated persona.

Sorry, can't edit posts. Tablet being crappy.

She will do it as many times as she can find a new dummy to enable her. The people she finds seem to be simple, and usually good-hearted, so they believe her sob stories about past abuses and how hard everything is for her without questioning the source. If they took a few minutes to really dig into her very public display of pathological behavior, would they even see it as a problem (remember, they are slow people)? She is calculated in selecting the people she chooses to get involved with, and like you said she runs from people who see reality as it is (Aunt Tammie, possibly Mary and Sharla, we still don't know what really happened there). The end of this steady stream of enablers will be when she is bedridden, unless she finds some feeder, and I think she is too delusional to admit that this reality is looming.
