Why do people who create this crap ignore science and reality? I guess you don’t sell books telling the truth, eh?
Chantel’s brain isn’t in “starvation mode.” Certainly not because of overeating her entire life, but that isn’t what happens with the brain and hunger anyway. Hunger is a complex process involving the brain, hormones, gastrointestinal system AND, most importantly for Chantel, psychological issues.
Chantel, first of all, loves the feeling of being overstuffed, so eating all she wants and later paying attention to when she feels full is...dumb. She wants to feel full.Holy shit, how many people can eat two or three full meals a night with desserts? She wants that feeling of being so full you are sick. If she could ignore the feeling of not being full, which to her is hungry, she’d have done it already.
She also eats because of psychological problems. I won’t guess much at them but I’m sure it’s a combination of Daddy issues and never having grown up or been told no. She probably has deep feelings of inferiority independent of her weight. She acts so superior to others and so mysanthropic that she doesn’t even recognize she actually hates herself and is jealous of everybody. Not to mention she has a mean streak a mile wide and always has. Without long-term therapy she won’t change that. I’m not even a big believer in therapy but for people like Chantel, who lack the ability to see themselves clearly, and who must to get past an addiction, I think it’s essential.
By now, her hormones are so fucked (a hint is her lack of hair) that whatever her brain is doing, it’s sending her the wrong signals. Mindfulness won’t change that.
Once again, Chantel looks for an easy way out and falls for woo. There is only one way to accomplish what she says she wants: put herself on a 2k calorie diet. Start exercising, and stick to it for the rest of her life. It’s logical, common sense, backed up by science, and will work. Thus, she’ll never, ever do it.
I am looking forward to this next wave of woo though. This one means she’s allowed to eat so we know she’ll be eating the way she has in these muckbangs and we’ll see her hit 500 lbs. and then we’ll get fake videos about omg, I notice I’m full and don’t want to eat and then the inevitable breakdown and admission she failed. Maybe we’ll be treated to a heart attack or skin infection while she’s at it. My (unbuttered) popcorn is ready.
