Are those stretch marks on her forearm? g o r l
 
How hard is it to go to bed at night and get out of bed in the morning if you really want to? This has negative implications for any other changes she plans to make...

I think it's probably pretty difficult if you have sleep apnea. She never gets any quality sleep. Even with a regular schedule she'd still be exhausted throughout the day and very likely to nap and throw it all off again.

She really should see someone about it - lack of sleep is terrible for her impulse control and general routine. But like you said, someone on Instagram did it all on their own, so she can too, I guess?
 
My fucking gawd, Becky. Use some masking tape you imbesil thumb of a woman. I truly don’t see the point in painting/crafting if you are not going to put effort into it. ”It’s not like accurate or good but whatever” yes we can see that. Just half-ass everything, why don’t you. That way you make sure you’ll never make any progress or learn anything, or you know, maybe actually become good at something.

Sometimes I just want to smack those lazy blubberinos.
 
it's not even that she's just walking in place because when you're 550lbs, if that's what you can do then all the power to you, gorl. IMO the issue is that she keeps setting herself up for failure. For one, walking in place is boring AF. There's nothing stopping her from putting on a 30-45min podcast and walking around the house, or literally walking around outside the house. It would go by much quicker. But also...SHE TRIED THIS ALREADY. "Gotta get my steps in!" and then walking in place. What happened last time? She stopped doing it. Why? because it was fuckin boring as hell and even the most hardy of us have issue doing shit we don't wanna do...her willpower is as durable as tissue paper.

Why doesn't she ever learn? I don't get it like....how many rounds of weight watchers, marching in a spot, and fitbits, does she need to go through. she made a damn video "I don't know how to lose weight" but still insists on doing it her way.................even though she doesn't know what she's doing.

Fatties like Amber and Chantal need to realize that metabolism is more or less equal to BMR + non-exercise activity thermogenesis + thermic effect of food + physical activity. People focus a lot on the physical activity part, but non-exercise activity thermogenesis can be far more important. Changing habits from, let’s say, sitting to standing could add hundreds of calories to your metabolism. Amber should move as much as she can. Someone who is active during the day will have a “faster” metabolism than someone who sits all day long and works out for 30 minutes.

Doing a bit of exercise once a day can do more harm than good, because it gives people the illusion of being active and may cause people to lower their overall activity (NEAT + PA). Those who work out a bit can feel like they can justify being sedentary because they exercise.

Lastly, the thermic effect of food should not be ignored. The human body consumes calories digesting food. Food like fats and simple carbs are more readily digestible than lean proteins, thus burning less calories. Eating 1,000 kcal of candy is more fattening than eating 1,000 kcal of grilled chicken breasts, the latter consuming as much as 20-30% (sources disagree and bodies differ) of the calories during digestion.

In conclusion, avoiding inactivity and eating better food (lean protein, vegetables (esp. fibrous ones), fruit) is of paramount importance. It’s far more important than exercise, especially for people like Amber, who are not fit enough for high intensity exercise.

They won’t go away with weight loss either, so skin removal surgery in the future?

The walking in place wouldn’t be a bad exercise if she did it for more than two seconds. The exercise is mostly to keep people this heavy moving and avoiding complete atrophy because they don’t have the endurance for a full workout (but you HAVE to diet or it’s pointless. The pounds will keep piling on).

To see just how long this cycle has been going on, check out the weight videos from Katie W. I haven't watched much of the Krystle era so I didn't realize it went that far back.

Skin removal would be needed if she were to actually succeed in getting to her goal weight. Hell, she could even get to the magic 199 and then have the surgery. She would likely lose more than enough in skin to get her to 170.

It’s denial. Denial is a powerful (and interesting) thing. She doesn’t believe she doesn’t know how to lose, she thinks she just isn’t ready, but when she is it’ll be easy. A person living in denial can look in the mirror and staring back is that drunk or druggie or morbidly obese woman that we all see, but overlayed for them is a normal person who just let it get a little far but can be turned back still.

She doesn’t understand that since she was a teen she has allowed the thought of getting food to control her every waking thought and everything she is and does. She doesn’t really know if she’s a lesbian; she picks her partners based on who she thinks will tolerate her weight and who she can manipulate. She doesn’t know how to be a friend because all she thinks friendship means is eating together. She learned to laugh and be cheerful to manipulate because that’s how she gets food. She doesn’t know what it’s like to move easily, to breathe easily, to bathe easily, even to sleep normally.

She can’t work and accomplish something real because of weight dictates how she moves. She doesn’t know what it’s like to be an adult and set goals and achieve them because her weight sets them for her. She’s completely consumed with the idea of food, one of her former friends said that’s all she talks about, she just said she colors like a child to take her mind off it. But she doesn’t see it because it IS her, food controls every aspect of what she does. She’s in denial over how much this has affected every part of her personality, and until she realizes that, she’ll never take any real steps towards change. It is scary losing weight because she will essentially lose everything she is: everything she thinks about, how she relates to people and the world, how she copes, what she thinks life is about. So no, she can never do it alone, she’ll need psychological help to recalibrate.

The only way at this point would be to give somebody else complete control, even if she had to commit herself to a place that puts you on controlled diets and does intensive therapy. At the minimum, follow Dr Nows plan, clean out the house and allow Becky say no without tantruming and a going on a strict 2k diet until she loses enough for surgery and lifetime therapy.

But she is Amberlynn, she knows best, she’s in complete denial of how much food is a part of her and made her who she is, so she’ll die fat with long, grody, yellow toenails.

I really think she needs to drop Becky completely. Right now it is to Becky's benefit to let Amber have her way, because she pays for everything. If Amber were to lose the weight, she will lose her YouTube income, or at least her income will go way down, because she will no longer be a freak show. Amber has no education or skills, so getting an actual job will be difficult for her, and there's no way she'd be able to support herself and Becky at that point, and I cannot imagine Becky would be willing to be the breadwinner. Becky would be dead weight, needing to be cast aside like excess skin.
 
You mean you don't? How the fuck else do you get your house to smell like stale fast food?

Christ, now Yankee Candle's going to come up with THAT as a scent.

Re: the video...I agree that walking in place looks ridiculous, and it probably is. But I was just thinking that maybe Amber is afraid that if she goes outside, tries to take Twinkie for a walk or whatever, there won't be anything to catch herself on if she falls. In the house she's at least got furniture.

This of course does not address the fact that she could conceivably do a nice little route indoors, but...I mean, she already has to turn sideways to get through some of the doorways, so this may literally be the best she thinks she can do right now. And now I'm sad.

Hoo boy, that is a chapter in the "Dog Prom 3D Manual for Knowing When You're Seriously Fat-Fucked." I don't know if those are stretchmarks or a pattern from sitting strangely with her arm pressed against her top or maybe her shirt sleeve left a pattern before she pushed it up. But if they are stretch marks, her weight loss, should she ever achieve it, will be miserable. It seems counter-intuitive but many super-morbidly obese people develop worse stretch marks as they lose weight. When your skin is so stretched out that you get stretch marks on weird places, like the neck or forearms or ankles, that means that your skin seriously lacks elasticity from being stretched to the limit. Deflating exacerbates the lack of elasticity and people who lose massive amounts of weight sometimes find themselves with bleeding stretch marks popping up all over their bodies, almost as bad as the stretch marks commonly seen on patients with Cushing's syndrome. And god help you if your stretch marks ulcerate (don't Google this, I am not even kidding, don't do it).

AL needs to get some Palmer's cocoa butter and begin slathering herself up asap, which would also have the added benefit of making her smell like a bowl of Coco-Puffs cereal.
 
Has she gained so much she’s given up on shoes? Those scraggly-ass toenails would only work with flip flops. I’m sure she makes Becky clip those for her, there’s no way she could prop her dainty leg up in the shower considering she touches the walls.

It seems like all her crying BS lately wasn’t because she’s come to terms with how hard it will be to change, but instead how easy and soon it will be to die. And even that isn’t rock bottom, how astonishing.

That screenshot. I totally forgot about that. See her covering her face when someone is filming her normally and not in her Myspace angles. She subconsciously feels shame and covers it's face. Yet not enough shame apparently to just go to doctor to lose weight. Jfc
 
She keeps talking but all I hear is, "Peecha chakka no wookie. boonowa tweepi solo."



I'll see myself out ..
 
'Excercising' Jesus fuck what a joke.

Powerlevel here; but the hardest part for me of daily exercise is flat out boredom. I got used to constant access to music/games/videos/chat when I got laid up from surgery, and that's the HARDEST fucking thing about excercising once you get used to effectivetly 24/7 as you want entertainment. Boredom.

But her problem isn't boredom, she was winded in under 30 seconds? From Walking. How does this not make her realize she needs real help? She's on the path to dead in the winter. It's likely when it'll happen. She's going to try and disprove the Haydurs about going outside and BAM down she goes on ice or some shit. <Do they get ice there?> and some thing will break, and we all can read how Chance died.

Seriously, I hope she takes the time to read about Chance, because she's right there.
