WEIGHT LOSS UPDATE | 3.22.18 - 3/24/2018 Weight Gain Update

[formerfatcow]

"I don't feel like we're failing because we haven't given up."

Realistically, how many years can you try at something before it can finally be classified as failing?



She doesn't need therapy, she doesn't need WLS, hell she didn't need to go to a doctor until she was goaded into it after ten years. All this, because she lost 89 pounds once, and therefore nobody knows how to deal with these problems better than she does.

Can you fail at something you never even attempted in the first place?

Honestly, why even film a "weight loss" weigh-in when in the most recent vlog she's showing us the Fritos and Fun Dip in her cabinets. There's no effort being put in, outside of buying overpriced garbage that she thinks will help her stick to her journey. Instead, she's just tricking herself into feeling like she's done something productive.

"Oh, I just bought 3 cute water bottles at Walmart to encourage me to drink more water. I'll start using them tomorrow though, right now I want a Diet Pepsi and I earned it!"

I hope no one is stupid enough to buy WLS for her at any point. AL hardly has an issue being wasteful with her own money, why would a stranger's money be any different? She sees WLS as an easy way out, when really it's about the same amount of work. I know a lot of people have been successful with WLS but I honestly think for a lot of them it's just because there's so much time and money put into it that it forces them to work harder than they would have without the surgery. If you spend $20k you're going to want to make sure it wasn't all for nothing. AL would complain about it being more difficult than she anticipated, how she expected it to do the work for her, and then she'd whine about how none of the haters understand what it's like to be in her situation.

I don't even think therapy could help at this point, because AL doesn't really think she the source of her own problems. She says it's in her head, but I don't think she realizes that means it's something she has to actively work on, and that she still has to hold herself accountable. By "it's in my head" she means, it's something entirely out of her control and she needs doctors to give her the magical solution (a treatment or pill) that will fix everything. She doesn't need therapy to talk about what she's done wrong, or how she needs to grow up and take responsibility for the state of her life and her body. She wants a pill that will make everyone else realize she's just a poor dainty petite babe stuck in a disgusting body through her eating disorder. She doesn't need someone to talk to about her urges or how to control them, she just wants someone to justify that it's not her fault and maybe give her a pill to make the urge to binge go away.

I'm really stuck on the fact that they're blaming vegetable soup for their obesity. Do they listen to themselves?

Did I mishear or did she say that the sister puts 'hamburger' (ground beef) in the vegetable soup? The fuck kinda veggie soup is that?

AL would be the type of patient that would get the gastric bypass and then lose only 6 pounds in 2 months. She would still eat so much only she would be constantly puking due to her newly stapled stomach. The doctor would remand her and she would fight back saying, "DO YOU WANT ME TO GET MALNOURISHED?!" There was a guy just like that on 600lb life. That would be our gorl.

Why do they always weigh in the dark? Is it because they do it naked to eliminate the weight of their clothing but they're too embaressed to show each other thier naked bodies? I'm not being silly. I really thought maybe that was why.

 

[nyankosensei]

is she ever gonna admit that she weighs more than 500 lbs now or she is gonna do that announcement when she is close to 600 lbs and can’t ‘hide it’ anymore? How stupid does she think people that follow her are?

Let’s face it, she will say she is 597 lbs when that moment comes

I feel like her vlog would be something like this:

The circular, beady-eyed face of Amber appears in frame.

"Hey gais! -chin dab- So, lemme start by sayin' I'm not 600 pounds yet. -pant- -wheeze- I've -pant- been' tryin' real hard to control my eating habits. But I'm gonna be at Wal-Mart today. I'm going to walk around n' try to burn some calories, y'all! -wheeze-!"

It will be her last vlog. She'll then proceed to keel over and die as she coos over tacky cat ears, as such a mild activity puts strain on her weakened, heavily fatty heart. Becky will be heartbroken for about a month before she pounces on a better looking, lighter lesbian she can actually scissor. Eric and Ricky will be quietly relieved.

AL losing only 6ellbees a month after gastric would be interesting. Like I mentioned in other threads no pill seems to even slightly make her less hungry. Even when she wasn't hungry on Phentermine she still ate almost a whole pizza! Although I think some forms of weight loss surgery stop calories and food being absorbed and becoming fat but it only helps so much.

Don't they weigh in on some enclosed porch area with glass windows to the rest of the house? Maybe it's dark so the gays don't see them. Although I think Eric has already seen all of Becky.

Did Becky's naked bod turn Eric gay? Gross. I also thought maybe it was dark when they did it so they could cheat somehow. I just can't imagine why they would weigh in the dark.

 

[hotcheetospuffs]

They weigh in in the dark because Becky's bedroom only has one small lamp, no overhead light.

She bought all that weight loss crap because the thought of new pretty things to help you lose weight made her optimistic. New trash makes her feel like she can do it. She bought expensive bulk water off of amazon because the water from their fridge comes out too slowly and its easier to "grab a bottle". She is in love with the thought of losing weight but she doesnt actually want to try to lose weight. Remember when she would always buy those water tumblers and she justified buying them because " they will help me to drink more water" bitch, why you need one everytime you go to walmart. If the first one didn't help you.. why buy more. Nothing can help you drink more water, you have to want to drink water

don't forget that she also bought that big water dispenser. what happened to that thing anyway?

I thought she brought it with her to Becky's and it collects dust there now.

 

[Rotogravure]

I keep seeing it in the background of the dining room. Sad, alone. Without a water bottle on it. It's like a post-modern piece of art at this point.

Honestly, one of the most fascinating things about their weight gain updates for me is how they make drinking water seem like this lofty goal that's always beyond their reach. Gorl, what? You have no problem shoving anything else down your gullet. Fill a glass up and fucking drink it. Buy those $3 35 packs of water bottles from Walmart and throw a few back if you're too good for tap water. It doesn't even preclude you from drinking soda too if you're still stuck on that.

Sad part is they’ve already bought everything they could want... water bottles, dispensers, literal bulk pallets of water.. she thinks that drinking water/eating healthy is just some sort of mindset that will come over her one day. She does not understand the concept of forcing yourself to do something. Thirsty? Get water. Make the decision. It’s so frustrating to watch someone make excuses for simply not pushing themselves. Icy water is delicious and free, it Boggles my mind that literally DRINKING WATER is not a daily part of their lives....?

Shit doesn’t just happen. Is there a special pill she can get prescribed to have the smallest amount of self control?

If the pill actually did its job, she'd find a reason to complain about it and stop taking it.

Is is :powerlevel: if I tell a story about working with a deathfat who had gastric bypass and was unsuccessful with it? She was a LOT like Hamberlynn, but had a which Hamberlynn won't be able to get.

 

[Bashful Bunny]

Poweleveling is when you share embarrassing and unnecessary information about yourself. Especially if it could be used to find you IRL.

 

[OstREEEch]

Her neck has rolls now.

 

[Stanley_Buttkiss]

I'm at a point where I don't even care anymore. Keel over and die already. Stop wasting my oxygen. Its not THAT hard. The only way they're gonna succeed is if they legit wanted to quite.

Ok, so I used work cleaning houses, shopping for, bathing, dressing, and wiping the shit of elderly and disabled individuals. Menial stuff anyone without a criminal background could do. Most of my clients were elderly and very sweet.

But one, Christina, was a lolcow. She was about my age, had mental health issues (schizophrenia) and was FAT. We're talking Hamberlynn size before gastric bypass. She had a shitty personality, was always grumpy, a perpetual victim, refused to do anything for herself in the apartment.

TBF, it was literally my job to clean her apartment, and I didn't really mind. I wasn't responsible (actually I was explicitly told I was not to do so under any circumstances, and with Christina I soon learned why the rule was in place. Do it one time, do it forever.) for cleaning up after her dogs though, and like Amber, she was too lazy to house train completely or pad train them completely. I stepped over a lot of poop. She was good about picking it up when she noticed it, but one day her dog pooped in her bed and I had to ask her to clean it up before I could change the bed.

She conned the state into paying for her bypass, but refused to do anything to actually lose the weight. She wouldn't exercise. She would take her dogs out to pee, and come right back in.

All she did was watch TV, go to Walmart, go to the nursing home where here husband was (he was much older and had had a stroke, he ended up coming home for a while and I took care of him full time. I quite liked him.), went to church, and I think that was all she did. She had a second bedroom full of stuff she never used. In the year and a half I worked there, she went into the room three times.

Anyway, back to fat. She had lost about a hundred pounds before I met her, but still had a hundred and fifty to go to get to normal. Her doctors were constantly telling her she should be losing more weight than she was losing (she had basically stalled when I started, I don't think she lost any weight the whole time I was there).

Part of my job was to cook for her, I like to cook, so I did so happily. Most of the time she had a cheese and ham sandwich with "lots of mayo". Probably 300-400 calories just in mayo (mayo is 100 calories per tablespoon generally speaking). She guzzled sweet tea like water. She hated water, and wouldn't use artificial sweetener. She would also buy and drink sodas. She talked frequently about how she was sinning by drinking tea, because she was Mormon, but she drank it anyway.

Amazingly she wasn't diabetic, but artificial sweetener would have, at least, saved a ton of calories.

Tea was made every other day or so. A gallon of water. Four cups of sugar. Four packets if tea mix bag things (I hate tea, don't know what they are called). Stir. Refrigerate.

She ate bigger meals at dinner. I'd thaw a half pound tube of meat, she'd cook it, some spaghetti, and sauce, and eat all of it. There were never leftovers. Not even of the meat. Half a pound of beef is quite a bit for one person.

One of the other rules the group I worked with was "never give your number to a client". I was a retard and broke that rule because I'm too fucking nice to say no. She called nightly. And had nothing to say. Literally nothing. Her therapist fired her for calling after hours too often, so I wasn't the only retard in her orbit.

She eventually got a boyfriend (while being married) and because I was now picking up after two people and doing the dishes for two people, beside boyfriend was a cow too, I got in trouble with work. Then boyfriend started sleeping during the time I was there working, so I couldn't clean the bedroom (which had become a sty through no fault of my own, she got lazier when boyfriend moved in).

Finally she refused to answer the door one morning. Her car was there, but no one answered. I called work to see if she was in the hospital (she would sometimes get sucidial abd check herself into a mental hospital, and it was her responsibility to let the company know). She had not called in, I had a long discussion about what had been going in the last few months (she was becoming more hostile towards me in general as well), they already had talked to her about boyfriend sleeping while I was there. We decided I could no longer work for her.

She has no internet presence, sadly, otherwise she might have potential. But she's probably just too boring.

Oh, and she was staunchly Republican and anti-welfare despite her tugboat.

I know, off-topic, but Christina is what Amber would be like if she had surgery. Still a cow.

 

[idosometimes]

I cannot fathom the amount of food she must be eating to consistently gain weight weekly at that size

The sickos who love fatties say she is 5'3". Basing the maths on that.

If she is completely sedentary, she would need about 3600 kcal--a bit less than twice what is recommended for the average person--just to maintain the weight If she is moderately active, that can jump up to 4500 kcal or more each day. To maintain her weight. Each pound gained per month is about 115 kcal more each day.

If she is taller, she needs more kcal each day. Shorter, fewer.

I'm just starting to try to get into the history of this cow, so I'm sorry for the ignorant question. That said... has AL ever tried to get any kind of surgery like a gastric bypass to deal with her weight issue? Considering she's basically eating herself to death at this point, I'd like to think a doctor could be convinced that she needs the procedure.

If she has tried, what's the reason she hasn't been able to get treatment? Stuff like her not sticking with medication/therapy for her alleged mental health issues/eating disorder? A lack of health insurance? I'm morbidly curious about this.

Doctors just don't do those procedures on anyone. Extremely obese patients are high risk for complications with any type of surgery. Some doctors specialize in high risk superfatties (like Dr. Now on tv), but they want commitment to weight loss. Bariatric surgery is not a magic pill. You can still eat all day and gain weight. All forms of bariatric surgery have failure rates where people don't lose weight. Attempting surgery on a big fatty who is still gaining is almost guaranteed to fail.
