All good points, and more significantly, she has achieved nothing. Never finished university, has never held down a long-term job, and has reached only minor success on youtube (of the lolcow kind). I suppose she thinks that her long-term relationships with Peetz and Bibi count as some kind of achievement,, so no wonder she's spiraled so dramatically since last year's break up. Our deathfats here at Kiwifarms are not high achievers, or even average achievers, which seems to suggest that it's a trait in most deathfats. And if a deathfat doesn't have the mettle and reliance to finish a degree or hold down even a minimum wage job, there is absolutely zero chance that they will ever lose weight and take control of their health.
I do find it interesting that every once and a while (albeit very rarely), Chantal will have miniscule moments where she appears to almost be honest with herself and with her audience. I know, I know, Chantal lies, but hear me out... In her recent video titled "Struggling, Diabetes, Backlash and Weight Loss Surgery" she admits "I don't trust myself....my illness makes me lie to myself a lot," and then goes on to describe the difficulty in giving up take out and the comfort it brings her. If one wasn't familiar with Chantal's usual trajectory, they might mistake this for some kind of genuine epiphany or rock-bottom, but it never is. It's all just another form of cope. Whether she knows it or not, she delivers these vulnerable moments because she wants her audience to go easy on her and to never hold her accountable. "I can't be trusted," she says, which basically amounts to "so don't be surprised or have a fit when I keep fucking up again and again., okay?"
Spoiler since this is a mild PL, but I moved from the US to Canada last year, and haven't seen a death fat yet. Chantal must look extremely freakish to her fellow Canucks. Granted, I don't live anywhere near her, and I've only glimpsed the locals as much as Covid will allow, but I have yet to see a Canadian that is more than 50 or so pounds overweight.
