I'm pretty new to Chantal. I've only watched fully her last 2 videos. (And after I said to myself I can't believe I watched the whoooole thing)
I've watched MSPL for a couple of years and I can't remember a constestant client that ever seemed out of breath just from talking like Chantal is, but my memory sucks. That's what shocks me most about her. It literally seems like just talking takes the breath out of her. Like someone upthread said, the focus of the show now seems less to be showing how much food they can shovel in their pieholes and more about their psychological dysfunction, so to actually see how much food Chantal eats in one sitting is astounding. As a young teen many moons ago I totally pigged out once and was so dang uncomfortable I couldn't ever do it again. It was like a defining food memory. Watching Chantal brings back that wholly uncomfortable feeling of engorged bloat. Ugh
If she has some serious lung issues then the common cold or flu could kill her, never mind the respiratory attacking Kung Flu.
