She's redoing her setup because it's Jan. 1st and she's insane. She's planning on starting fresh 1/1, a new setup, a new schedule, she probably bought a bunch of trash and will buy more in the next few days. In her head, everything will magically change when she wakes up on the 1st. She'll never be that fat, gross, joke of a person again. I bet she's on Cloud Nine with delusions of how wonderful she'll become in 2020. She's high on it.
Of course, since that means no more junk food, she'll have to eat all of her favorites in the next few days prior to the 1st. Just to "get it out of her system". It will "be the last fast food for a while!" And all of the other things she tells herself every time. So she's taking off because the next week will be the final last hurrah of 2019, and it will be a week long.
Thing is, she isn't really taking off. Tomorrow she'll realize that she's sitting there at her mukbang desk and already has three or four meals in front of her for lunch, she'll have already done her makeup for Aziz, so she'll figure she might as well film one last mukbang! And then another one when dinner rolls around, rinse and repeat.
This is so accurate and is exactly how addictive thinking works. I used to do exactly the same when I was off my face on drugs all the time, I'd think "Right, once this bag has run out, I'm quitting. In fact, it's better for me to quit soon so I'll do this entire bag of drugs in one night - one last hoorah - yaaaay!" and have a massive binge.
Of course, invariably that would make the come-down a million times worse and I'd think "well now I feel like crap - what would cheer me up? I KNOW, MORE DRUGS!" and the whole thing would begin again. To eventually get myself clean I literally had to give someone my credit card so I couldn't get cash out - I couldn't be trusted with it; I'd always find an excuse to go back to them. And Chantal has no-one in her life that would do that for her. Bibi certainly won't, I don't think he'd want to incur her wrath, and I can't imagine the family would either.
She'll get to January 1st intending to eat 100% healthily, but by the evening she'll allow herself a snack, or some chicken wings, or some gravy, but tell herself that it's okay because she's eating less than she used to. Then she'll figure it's okay for her to overeat still, so long as she's overeating less than she did.
And then, possibly after a week, as you've said, she'll give up on the whole thing, telling herself that full on gross mukbangs are what her viewers want to see and she doesn't want to disappoint them or something stupid like that.
There is no end to the carousel.
