And so nothing of value was learned. Again.
Okay first, I'll give one tiny little point to Amber. While in theory she could consume nothing but water for years and survive on the fat alone, there is a problem with consuming less than about 1500 calories a day regularly. Your body doesn't just absorb its own fat at that point, it will absorb muscle mass too indiscriminantly because you are technically starving. Now for a normal human that's not too horrible, you can work out a little more, but for Amber the ONLY thing allowing her to stand up at all is the natural muscle that a deathfat builds from carrying their own weight every day.
That said, this was somehow even more predictable than usual. She didn't even try to do the song and dance of pretending she was still on the diet and lying for weeks before admitting to failure, she just gave the fuck up before the week was up. This was like a failure speed run. You could see it from day one she was excitedly lying about how good that shit bar tasted, to just the next day where everything tastes like garbage. And the complaints of headaches and lack of energy and feeling sick (aka food addiction withdrawel).
The way I imagine Amber's relationship to food is something like... For her whole life she's been fed the food equivilant to crack cocaine. Nasty, disgusting, incredibly concentrated stuff meant to jack yo' up, or in this case make you feel bloated and heavy. She thinks a hit of crack every 20 minutes is normal, she can't live without it. Now when she tries to eat like a normal human the withdrawels kick in, normal food is like low dose childrens tylenol or a slight caffeine buzz. That aint gonna cut it for an addict. So like any addict, she likes her drug of choice, it makes her feel good.. it's probably the only thing that makes her feel good now that she's a big fat hollow shell of a human being who can barely function, and she's going to keep on hitting that good orange chicken til it kills her.
I feel like I'm on loop, but does anyone else see the Amber Lynn Reid story ending any other way?
