This gem dates back to the Krystle Era and is worth watching in fool.
Hambert does not disappoint in her arrogance. She's till pretending she's a timid, quirky everygorl, hyperpositive in the face of life's dark circumstance. She's successfully gamed herself into the dependence of a well off family by preying on the affections of their *cognitively differently abled* adult daughter. Her sole interest is obsessing about herself, planning, hauling, and recapping every interaction with food, and documenting her ineffective weightloss journee to a YouTube audience with only a fraction of the haydurs she enjoys today (at times posting three times in a day). She's clearly getting high on her own supply of bullshit. Compared to present day, she was the pitcher of health: maintaining a weight of 350-375, no necrotic laigs or pooled muscles, with the capacity to stand for 15 minutes and walk through a big box store (though she still rode the scooters because she's a lazy POS).
Still certain that her ~89 elbee weightloss~ was a combination of her nutritional and fitness expertise, moderate habits of a dainty queen, and overall character superiority, she comes to the convenient and performatively tragic conclusion that daily walkeen may be causing her to gain weight (one goddamn lb) and it isn't right "FOR ME", even wistfully sighing that she'll miss it so. She admits to overeedeen while she takes us on this wild ride of logical fallacy, but she knows better. She looked it up on Google. She's done her research. Oh the days when she was an expert in bolth nutrition AND exercise sports science.
There is also a telling look into her pathologically codependent tendencies. At the time she had a passive weightloss partner in Krystle where Hammy controlled all food intake and calorie counted for the both of them, making sure they eat the exact same amount (...except her secret overeedeen). Krystle losing more than her on any given weigh in causes visible panic, envy, and an affront to her sense of justice, but it'ssoamazeenshe'ssohappyforherguize.
In a different vid of this era, she uses her extensive exercise sports science knowledge to explain that Krystle lost more weight than her because her heart beats faster, therefore burns more calories. She's done her research. In another vid she has a crisis about wanting to lower Krystle's calories (even though she lost weight at the last weigh in) because they eat the exact same amount, but ALR should be getting more because she's 'birgger' so SHE GETS MORE.
It's a good thing that girl was protected by an ever present family and her firm placement on the spectrum because AL was latched on deep. She thought she found her forever home, ready to leech off them as a perpetual tween, who's only hobbies were obsessing about herself to her outstretched hand, poking and prodding everyone's food, spending their money on junk jewry and phone cases, and fattening up "her" pets.
And remember, if you aren't smiling, smile!!
