Her excuse is that "it's cold." She's obviously never been in a cave unless it's the open end of Mammoth with the easy trail. Caves are always cold.

$14k? Er....
Ten times that still doesn't get anywhere near...
Ten times that still doesn't get anywhere near...
This is probly PL, hence spoilered, but its the only way I can explain. I had surgery a few years back which, in terms of speciality, was akin to the levels AL would be looking at. It was nothing to do with gastric surgery but had other similarities; relatively new, high risk, only offered in a few specialist hospitals and the surgery times, stay, aftercare etc. were similar, though it was probably more easily accessible even then than bariatric at her size.
A couple of people on the support group were considering the same surgery in the US and the costs started at quarter of a million dollars, and that was without counting anything like transport to another state just for consultations. Yes, specialist surgeons are expensive, but the real money was in the hospital stay, meds and aftercare. I've no idea how that compares to routine surgery, but bearing in mind this was really bare minimum and with no additional costs for unexpected problems (which happen frequently with this level of bariatric surgery) it gives a baseline for extreme specialist surgery. £14k won't even cover one night in post-op.
You could perhaps get a lap band for £14k somewhere, I don't know - I assume she's heard that figure somewhere but even that is likely only for the actual operation and a lap-band for someone her size is like comparing an ingrown toe-nail with an amputation and sepsis. She's very flippant whenever she talks about WLS and obviously has no idea of the reality. But it doesn't matter, cos in her mind she's not in the same league as the 600lb lifers. In terms of surgical intervention though, she's already one of them.

Oh she gets stressed out during car rides? *throws on floor in backseat* "Mawmuh luv yew, okayyy?"
Does Becky's sister really not mind AL putting her son's pic up for everyone to see his double bottom front teeth?
Shocking.

Anybody else disturbed by her comments on the keto diet?
I don't follow it myself, but her tone was so condescending.
I'd comment that she should get off her high horse, but Lord knows no beast can support our gorl.

I'm not remotely surprised that Amberlynn has jumped on #effyourbeautystandards.
FYI,,#effyoubeautystandards is a hashtag coined by another lolcow named Tess Holliday/Munster. It's supposed to be about body positivity, but you'll find it used almost exclusively by obese white chicks.
Tess is also a huge advocate for a horrific movement named HAES (Healthy At Every Size). We've heard AL flirt with HAES with sentiments like "skinny doesn't equal healthy", and one FB meme she posted that said "no honey you're skinnier than me, not healthier." She's also privy to exceptional theories and conspiracies. It'd also give her an excuse to keep funneling shit down her gullet.
I'm definitely being
but I think if she converted to HAES, it could be a pretty hilarious timeline.

They really need to stop showing the kid. It makes me super uncomfortable. I don't know how much the mother knows about what's going on so I'll withhold judgment on her , but Becky should know better. AL has stated several times that the negative comments really get under Becky's skin. If it bothers Becky, why would she subject her young nephew to it as well? It just rubs me the wrong way. Kids shouldn't be involved in this shit. This is pretty much the one and only time I'll ever mention him.

I know the sleeve gastrectomy and lap band surgeries are closer to $14,000...so, maybe that's where AL is getting the information. Of course, she has no insurance, so, it would be entirely out of pocket and she definitely doesn't have that kind of money.
While I think you guys are right in that she watches that show dreaming about the day she gets her out ... I also think it's because she looks at those on the show as kind of a reassurance that she's not that bad off (yet). What I mean is that most the people in that show are bedridden and rarely ever leave the house. AL still can get around, despite her laziness, and I guarantee she takes comfort in watching that and thinking, "I'm not that bad..."
It's why smaller fatties can be some of the cruelest toward the really fucking fat. Next to them, in their mind anyway, they look somewhat normal. For AL, she's still not at the level of the fatties on that show ... and that's reassurance that she'll be all right I think. But that's because she's fucking dumb and doesn't realize that she's getting closer and closer to that level every goddamn day.

This! She has spoken about it a couple times! She once described seeing someone bigger than her at a restaurant and judging her for her size. I believe this was in the Destiny era. It blew my mind at the time because I was new to her videos and actually felt bad for her and the hate she was getting. The second I heard her say that she judged someone for their weight, I knew she wouldn't be doing anything about hers. She was normal in that moment, she was the small one! Victory!
About being on the show, she said they wouldn't even accept her because she can still walk. Yep, that was her reasoning. So take that haydors! Becky was sitting next to her and had her confirm for us that she is not like the people on the show and can indeed walk.
That was so manipulating, it reminded me of an alcoholic that has an enabler and doesn't want help to stop drinking. They'll say "Oh, I don't drink that much. Ask ____, they'll tell you!" with the enabler sitting right beside them, so the enabler slinks in their seat a little and says "it's true, they don't drink that much." and very slowly start believing it. The alcoholic is then validated in their head with how much they drink because they got someone to say they don't drink much out loud.
AL has done it with the butter and with salt (low sodium, slay), too. With Becky sitting right beside her, having Becky tell everyone that AL doesn't like butter. IIRC Becky looked semi surprised and said "how did you not know butter was in mashed potatoes?!" then validated AL and her quest to tell everyone she doesn't like butter. Once Becky told her no to a food AL wanted, AL had a meltdown because her facade was breaking down in her own head. She NEEDED Becky to give into her demands to get that validation back that she isn't that bad. That's when we saw the diet slipping more and more into failure this year. With more pictures of them out at restaurants, celebrating valentine's day several days in a row with eating chocolates.
I don't get mad at AL anymore, I use to get mad at her for herself. Now it's just pure fascination, when will the train stop? It really is like watching the making of 600lbs life. The juicy stuff we don't get to see on an episode because those people have shame and hid from cameras for the last 10 years.

Agreed. Keto can actually be a really great diet option if you're willing to stick with it, hydrate the fuck out of yourself and know the signs of ketosis. I don't think she has a hoof to stand on when it comes to judging any diet.

She's also said before that she sees herself smaller than she is, which even if that's a super self aware thing for her to say, I believe she does.

Is a "keto" diet basically the Atkins? I don't want to upset anyone, but the basis behind that is nothing to do with ketoacidosis, that bit's just a mythical explanation. Iirc, the sciencey brainiac thing behind it is actually good old CICO - people on the Atkins and equivalents are actually eating less, because protein makes us feel full more quickly. We've evolved to eat protein and vegetables so that's the underpinning. I really don't want to cause a bunfight or upset anybody; it doesn't matter how it works as long as it does for you, and there's good reason behind that. There was an excellent British documentary on why the Atkins diet does actually work, if anyone is interested let me know and I'll try and search out a link.
Problem is, it doesn't work for people like Amber who don't eat for fuel and have totally lost all bodily cues telling them they are full. This is why she needs a dietician, because a super-morbidly obese person likely already has catastrophic cholesterol and, given something like Atkins will see a a no boundaries diet and load up on high-protein, high-cholesterol foods and still eat waaaaay beyond satiation.
Please don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking it and she is absolutely rude beyond belief when she dismisses genuine suggestions for a diet that actually works for well-understood reasons; people promote it because it works for them. And she's not an uncontrolled binge-eater regardless of how she tries to sell it - she simply overeats. She may binge on top of that, but we see what she eats ordinarily and we'd all be whales eating like that. An open-ended diet could do her more harm than good because she will still over-eat, it would merely be qualitatively different.
She doesn't know what hunger is and has built an enormous internal database of utter nonsense which she thinks is dietary knowledge. It's not, it's justification (ie. It's "bad" to not eat for five hours and otherwise I'd eat a carrot so....next minute, she's fully justified being face-first into her nosebag full of pizza.) Doc Now puts his patients on such a constricted diet partially so they relearn their body cues and actually start to recognise hunger and satiation. And that the very mild discomfort of hunger won't strike them dead any second now. And the fixed mealtimes break the emotional eating link.
It's hypothetical but I don't think she'd even pass screening for 600lb life. How many of us have said she doesn't really want to change, she just wants acceptance, validation and a green light. I don't know how many get turned down for that show, but screening is probably pretty brutal. And, of course, she'd not be able to put anything up on YT, so no "job." I can just imagine his face when, after gaining 20lbs at her first follow-up, she explains she hadn't eee_un for three hours and needed to do a mookboorng. But he can ask Becky, she totally stuck to the diet otherwise. Tell him, Becky!

My main issue with her comments is how she looked down on people who incorporate carbs into their diets.
She was pretty much bragging about restricting her carb intake when she's on her never-ending "journey."
Like, yeah, hon. That's why you end up binging.
She has a horrible "all or nothing" mentality.
For somebody who knows EVERYTHING about nutrition, you would think AL would know about moderation...
