Continuing my post...
- Stop the press! Honesty and self-awareness in the same day? What a time to be alive!
Amber said:
if I was to restart every single time I messed up everyday would be day one
- Amber says that "she didn't start this challenge (saying) I'm gonna be perfect everyday". She didn't need to be perfect, if she only behaved like a normal human she'd lose weight.
- Cue the "so brave" comments. Amber owns up to her weight. Yeah...
- She wants to journal every single day. So, all those notebooks she's been buying since December (for this journey, the others don't count) are still empty?
- Lets make this journey more complicated by adding unnecessary extra steps like journaling her fee-fees. It's easier to find things to blame that way.
- Amber, honey,
dahrling, this is not how it works. You put it out there, expect people to interact. You cannot demand people watch the train wreck and say nothing. The ball is in your court, though. There is an easy fix for the pain that ails you.
Turn the comments off. Come on, I dare you. This way you can post all the fucked up shit you do to yourself and no one will be able to say a word (to your "face").
- Amberism of the day: "1800 (calories) should be suffice".
- Wait, Amber-I can-tell-the-calories-of anything-and-be-off-by-just-10-Lynn is confused by calories? Fascinating... But I thought she knew everything about dieting.
- Amber admits to NORMALLY eating between 4,000 (four thousand) and 7,000 (seven thousand) calories a day. Since this is Amber, we know the higher end is more likely the real number. This means, boys and girls, that she is eating an average of 5,500+ calories per day (I wrote a higher number but for once I decided to be nice and calculate the average between the numbers she mentioned).
- Amber finally solves her struggle about how many calories/day she should eat, by settling with 2,500. She doesn't want to get over 2,200cal, but if she
has to, she'll still have an extra 300cal. I see that this plan is flawless. Aside from, you know, already planning ahead for extra calories that she thinks she'll
have to ingest.
-
Bonus Amberism: "I'm not gonna have a step goal". Oh, never mind. I got confused by her weird pauses when she talks. It's about the walking. 8,000 steps apparently were too much for Amber.
- Oh boy...Another competition with Becky. This time is about how many steps each one of them take. Way to go Amber, lets undermine any and all progress Becky could make.
-"Add me on fitbit". I probably won't add you back, nor interact with you (oh, and I'll block you if I think you look better or smaller than me), but feel free to kiss my ass and tell me how gorgeous I am. Don't forget #sobrave!
- Amber, if you take it any slower you'll be frozen in place. Which might not be a bad idea - at least she won't gain.
- "You don't become 500 pounds by just loving food". Amber is right, if the love is platonic. Don't worry boo, I don't think you're in love with food. I think you like to over eat. No one who loves food would commit the atrocities you do (and call it a meal).
- Oh, she's slowly sliding away from BED and mentioned the word addicted to food.
- Holly cow! I've never seen her being so honest. Amber doesn't realize it but she admitted that she wants people to feel bad for her:
Amber said:
I want to attract an audience because I want people to be like wow this girl has some issues this girl is struggling really bad
- "I want people to come back a year from now and be like if she can do it, I can do it". A few people actually have and I doubt they're thinking that because no one want to gain the amount of weight you've gained so far. The first "journey" started almost 200lb ago.
- Becky's food looks much better than anything Amber can "cook".
- That messy cabinet gives me hives. How can it be so disorganized like that?
- Amber's snack, as usual, looks gross. Sliced peppers
and black pepper in the same dish. Like I said, Amber is right when she said she doesn't love food.
- Amber shows the bowl of
vomit tuna to the camera and in the next scene has a foodgasm while shoving whole crackers smeared with the concoction in her mouth.
- At 10:06 you can see what her drug of choice does to her brain - she can't string a sentence together:
Amber said:
I just feel like instead of adding salt to things if you really have like a salt creamy (craving) and just add something salty to whatever you want like the olives I only added three olives cut up and then I call them banana peppers but just a few banana peppers it definitely helps how's your food tastes delicious really yeah
Her pathetic tip is something along the lines of "if you're restricting your salt intake and have a craving for something salty, add salty things to your meal". I suspect the tip she read (and misinterpreted) was to add seasoning (other than salt).
Side note: the peppers she added are pickled, if I'm not mistaken. Which probably means there is salt in them already.
- Amber is eating and talking about food - future meals. She's already calculating how many more calories she has, and informs us she had - so far - breakfast, lunch, a snack and the snack she's eating. Sounds about right with what I imagined. I'm sure there will be a dinner, a couple more snacks and some desert. (
Good thing Amber doesn't know what supper means. She could cram one more meal in her busy day)
- Amber informs us she is going to go with "eat when you're hungry". Dis gonna be gud.
- Did I say she was smearing the tuna atrocity on the crackers? Well now she's just piling it on. Her mouth is so full she's having trouble chewing.
- Second Amberism: "this is kind of like dinnering in a way". In reference to the snack while trying to figure out what she'll have for dinner. Also, can someone kill me now? Do you know how many time I had to rewind to catch that?
I got to see her shove the same cracker in her mouth over and over again.
- For the record, Amber started to talk about food at 7:29 while in the kitchen with Becky. At 12:57 she asks Becky about her diet (almost 5 min of talking about Amber's food in one way or another). One minute - give or take - about Becky's diet and it's back to Amber.
- Amber goes on to talk about a grocery store trip, saying they need cooking spray. After an awkward silence Becky remembers her line and says: "you know what I use with this? Water. Put a little cooking spray just to make sure it doesn't stick and then I put water...
her voice fades out". You can barely hear Becky throughout the video and suddenly she gets really loud to say the line I just quoted.
- Amber reminds us she knows how to lose weight, and then says that someone told her that she needs to break off the routine of snacking. And now you know why Amber bought snacks.
See, it's very simple, by snacking on that bag of Cheetos she showed the other day, she won't snack on a bag of chips.
- Oh. My. God!!!!! She is back to talking about food. When Becky asked her what she was going to have for dinner, Amber first said she was going to have a salad. Now that the food she was eating is gone, she's thinking of adding a veggie patty to aforementioned salad.
- I won't hit Amber up on Twitter or Fitness Pal, but to answer the question: no I'm not enjoying these videos. I watch some of them because deep down inside I'm a masochist. BTW, Amber is so not reading comments.
- I don't thinks she's mentioned yet that she ain't reading the comments (other than at the beginning of this video and a few seconds ago. Plus all the other videos where she said so.)
- For someone who looks like they dive into the dirty laundry basket everyday to get dressed, she sure buys a lot of laundry detergent. Pro-tip: adding more detergent per load doesn't make up for the fact that those loads are only washed once in a blue moon.
- Oh thank god! It's over!
