Mostly the usual boring stuff, things of ever so mild interest:
- she takes us into 'Destiny's cave' because of a squeaky desk toy
- Destiny wears size 4 shoes. Perhaps the only small thing on her
- Amberlynn, domestic goddess, gives us useful tips and tricks about how to remove stickers and dry knives
- She continues to wow everyone with her mad kitchen skills by making opening canned chicken noodle soup
- her 3 wishes would be: world peace, for her and her loved ones to be healthy and live a long life (good luck), and to have the perfect body
- someone on snapchat asked her when it's the right time to have sex :story:
- Destiny built AL a bear that smells like lavender
- apparently there's some FB thing going around with pics of fat people saying 'tag someone how'd fuck this' and she's angry because that's bodyshaming. Yet she keeps pointing out that the people in those pics are superdefinitely bigger than her, you guis!!!

Something that stood out to me in her latest vlog: she cut her foot after a fall and didn't realize she'd cut it until she noticed the resulting blood on the floor, after going inside.

"I slipped... really hard."
"I don't know what made me gush blood, I don't know if there's a sharp part on the tile."


So one of two things happened here;
  1. She's secretly Francis from the Deadpool movie and is impervious to pain.
  2. She has motherfucking diabetes.
I just find it ironic in a sadistic way that she has warning signs of fucking diabetes but she disabled comments and wont listen/worry about it/doesnt know because comments about how "That's not normal, and a sign of being unhealthy" are triggering. #HAES

Given that unchecked diabetes can lead to blindness, at least she will something else to add to her list of ailments.
 

Her latest video really showcases how huge she is. She can barely walk! She's waddling and it even looks hard for her to do that.

If someone wants to make a weight gain comparison this is a perfect video and one of those rare opportunities to get a full body shot.

Someone on Twitter asked her if she'd ever go on my 600 Lb. life and she said she would never even qualify for that show:lol: Also trying to blame her low view count on YouTube screwing things up.
I don't think she's big enough for the show, or unhealthy enough (yet) The people you see on that show are literally incapable of doing anything, like, on the verge of merging with their sofas.

I'm going to Hell. *sigh*

This was all brought on by her own laziness however. If AL kept up dieting, worked a job that involved a little more action than sitting in your ass, didn't use the scooter when taking their daily trip to Walmart, than she'd have an easier time carying herself, maybe maintain her weight rather than continuously adding to it, etc.
But if a girl can't bring herself to drink 6 glasses of water a day, then I have no hope for her soon to be 600lb body, and as a-loggy as it may sound, I will have no sympathy either.

AL's problem seems to be a lack of tenacity. She attempts veganism, cheats, then gives up. She attempts to drink 6-8 glasses of water a day, fails, then gives up. Rinse and repeat with any healthy lifestyle change she tries to adopt.

While it wouldn't be hard to lose weight in theory, sticking with a regimen takes discipline and changing habits is not an overnight process. AL gives up too easily.

Slipping sucks, but if you want to succeed, you need more determination and a revised strategy to stick with your goals. It takes effort and patience for new routines to stick. Bouncing back and trying is more effective than giving up.

I wonder if it's some sort of self defeating self-fulfilling prophecy on her part. "I'll never be healthy. I always end up reverting back to unhealthy habits. I might as well say 'fuck it' and film a Cheesecake Factory mukbang. At least there's money in that."

@Barbarella mentioned that unlike The Slatons, AL is smart enough to understand how to maintain a healthy weight. The Slatons are a hopeless lost cause. :optimistic: but I think AL could change if she genuinely wanted to. Unlike most lolcows, I think she'd be likable if her life wasn't a hot mess, so I hope she pulls it together even if that means a lift from lulzcow status. I agree there's no chance of change any time soon, so I'll sit back and enjoy the ride for now.

I agree totally.

And the fact that she is smart enough to understand the situation...She knows she is extremely over-weight, she knows she struggles with binge-eating, and she knows that her many health issues are ones that were brought on by her weight and can be reduced were she to loose weight.

Like you mentioned before as well, it's that she tries something, then gives up.
It's like, with the water. Drinking 6 glasses a day, especially if you're not regularly doing that, can take some reminders, some pushing and you gotta stick to it. But say she missed a day or so, or realized a week had passed and she was only maxing out at 4 glasses, then she just says "well, I tried but it wasn't for me!"

The problem is that she is okay with just ... failing... with being where she is. It's her comfort zone. I think she is afraid of the amount of work it's going to take. She's probably afraid that if it starts to work that she'll have to keep it up.
It's why she just makes excuses and justifies her position.
"Well I tried, but I failed and I figured I would fail lol i'm so quirky can't even drink water! but I hope you all keep it up and don't be like me lol, but i've stopped drinking diet soda as much so that's almost the same thing!"

She's not embarrassed to say she failed. She's not embarrassed to say that she weights about 500lbs and has slipped disk and all this stuff that one would be ashamed to admit.

I think it's definitely a lack of tenacity, and a bit of fear for stepping out of her comfort zone.
I mean homegirls been so big for so long, it's kind of her 'thing'
 
I've watched all seasons of My 600 lb life (I'll get lulz from anywhere) and she certainly fits in. The show is about the super morbidly obese getting surgery. They came from all walks of life and abilities-although I do think low SES is over-represented as are the types who grow into their furniture.

But Dr Now makes you lose weight first. I'm not sure if it's done that way by every doctor, but in all cases these people have to prove they are psychologically ready. They have relied and been obsessed with food their entire lives and have to learn how to change. No matter how much AL tried to tell us she knows all about healthy eating and losing weight, it's a lie. Because she hasn't figured out the psychological reasons that keep her at 500 pounds.

I do think it would be really hard to lose weight. I think it would be exhausting to have to relearn portion control, feel what emotions she's stuffing down with her foods, learn a new way to celebrate, and find another outlet for emotions. I have watched a lot of documentaries about the super morbidly obese (not just my 600 lb life) and it seems like very few can do it once they get in that 500+ range. Many end up dying.

Mini powerlevel: I had good friend who killed himself with food. Dead at 50 with kids left behind.

It's hard and it's sad. But like everything, it's a choice. She could go join weight watchers (or whatever), get some support and take it slow. And if she has insurance, maybe when she gets to 400 a doctor will take her on. It's possible but to a person who is interested in instant gratification, it seems endless.

Exactly!

She seems to think cold turkey = success. Drinking soda instead of water like you intended doesn't mean "I can't do it!" It means go back to your original plan, and if you keep failing, adapt a better strategy. Maybe put a lemon wedge, cucumber or mint in your water if it's boring you, or take a water-bottle with you everywhere to resist temptation. Whatever you do, don't give up! Same for any other lifestyle change. It's an adjustment, not an overnight switch. Al is definitely an instant gratification type like @Barbarella said, and that's a huge stumbling block.

She's just like a smoker who has tried to quit countless times and riffles off excuses for why they haven't succeeded yet. The problem is they don't want to quit. They know they should, and they dislike dealing with the consequences, but they like smoking regardless. You have to be completely committed to quit. AL wants to lose weight and improve her health, but she doesn't want to give up food yet. It might take a serious life or death moment for that to happen.

Good point about her weight being a part of her identity. I never thought about that, but I think you're right that it's a big part of her problem. It's scary to give up your identity and imagine your life without it. If she could realize there's more to her than being the "fat chick" she might be more committed, but choosing "obesity blogger" as a youtube career is prolonging her current self image. :(

:optimistic:I hope one day she becomes a genuine healthy living vlogger and dates women for their chemistry rather than to mooch off of them, but at this rate, that's a long time coming.

I do think it would be really hard to lose weight.

Logically it'd be pretty easy to loose weight quickly at her size if she controlled her portions and exercised regularly. It's over-coming the psychological aspects and remaining disciplined (especially during celebrations and other social situations like you said) that's difficult.

I'm not sure if she's insured either, and I doubt she can afford decent coverage. She should see if she can get a nutritionist or a counselor covered if she is insured, and if she can, I hope she takes advantage of that. Even weight watchers would be beneficial. Doing this alone isn't working. Girlfriend needs an extra push.

As entertaining as her chaotic life is, I really hope she improves. She's one of the few lolcows that I haven't written off as a lost cause:optimistic: (yet.)

She's aware of her health and has ideas of how to keep healthy but to change she might just need that one breaking point. Like when she hurt her foot and didn't realize it, let's say it was infected so she went to the doctor and he said 'you got diabetes' or even worse she crushed her cat. That might give her the motivation to change. She said in one of the Snapchat Q and As she would want to change her lack of motivation so she's far more self aware than most cows but she needs that one thing to flip that switch and say 'this is killing me, and I'm also killing my special needs teenage son'
 
LOSING 100 POUNDS

So my lolcow Christmas present is here all wrapped up, sitting under the tree.

When asked by a snapper what plan she'll use to lose weight, "I feel like it's very important that people learn how to create a healthy lifestyle without counting points or carbs or calories, because that is not how you live, the body is not programmed to count calories, and I know the body is not programmed to be my size. But I feel like it's very important that I learn how to be healthier with food in like the sense of a mindset, and like really what goes in my mouth, and I feel like the only way that's really gonna happen is if I don't follow a program and I fully just choose healthier options, if that makes sense."

Glad I'm not the only creep watching documentaries like that.

Changing bad habits requires alot of effort and support, and if you don't have support it is alot harder. You have to have both good support and self motivation to make such a massive life change.

There was this documentary I saw about this 900 lb fellow on one of the islands. All these medical professionals were bending over backwards to help him but he wouldn't change his ways and his wife, who fed him, wouldn't stand up and say no to anything he asked for. He would demand certain foods and she would bring them to him, because she didn't want to go against him. I felt really bad for the wife, because all the medical professionals were reaming her for giving him this stuff and she didn't know how to cope, because he would yell at her until she brought what he wanted. She eventually left him, and he died shortly after. She didn't even gp to the funeral.

That was a rough one.
