Here we go.. a very out of breath Chantal telling us about her Swole experience and look! She made a smoothie and she's realizing she's not getting a freebie and realized "this man.. he has a great philosphy.... and it's an elimination diet" which if she did 5 minutes of looking at his stuff is part of his program. So we're back to Cleansing Chantal!
She's back believing that doing an elimination diet is best for her, she likes this on paper and she knows in practice this doesn't work for her.... and not to judge her (gasping between her words).
And there it is "I'm a food addict... I love to eat, I love making food and different recipes (she's cooked maybe 6-10 times the past year?), different recipes and from different cultures" and pretty much realizing that she perhaps should have stuck with therapy - she hates working out, hates meditation, hates yoga, and she needs to just stick to not eating fast food, get therapy and perhaps that social media like YouTube, IG, and Facebook are not ideal support forums. (FFS.... this is amazing that it's taken her 3 years to realize online communities are not geared for support - there are some but she hasn't found them, and if she did, she wouldn't listen anyway.
A lot of her commentary in this video - I have to say was nearly verbatim of some of the comments here - definitely seems highly likely she's been lurking here.
She's so out of breath and not sure why - she really is gasping a lot, like, enough to be concerned that she's barely breathing while so sedentary like right before she had the clot episode.
So she's not going Swole - no surprise there. Finished before she started yet again. And she's upset people are so mean to her and doesn't want to be a ham planet the rest of her life. She's going to try to be more healthy and not for her to do this online, and going to rely on friends and family (who?!)
She's going to do whatever she feels like doing - and and what is best and frustrated with her weight loss doctor because she doesn't believe in restricting carbs when it was HER who decided to go to carbs - and she thinks that monitoring her food is also food restriction. Like wow, 60-100 carbs a day is not restrictive... eating limited fruit is not restrictive. ANything not in portions of 5 people to her is restrictive.
Nothing has or will changed with her other than "i need help" has yet again turned into "this requires work and I don't want to do it" and we shouldn't ever have any expectations.
Her one expectation is going not eat fucking Arby's.
THIS IS WHY WE SAY YOU ARE HOPELESS CHANTAL. People supported you until you do this "I will do this my way" bullshit instead of listening to anyone who tries to help you. Be it youtubers, doctors, nutritionists... the bottom line is like what your dietitian doctor said "Why can't you do what I ask you to do?"
