BOLTH!

I could see Amber losing enough weight to be mobile again, just enough so that she can waddle back into the chain restaurants she loves so much, or endure a car ride to Lexington.

This is precisely why I say that without mental and physical support, there's no way this is sustainable. It's kind of like when someone takes antibiotics and stops the moment they feel better when that just makes it harder to recover the next time they have an infection. She will perhaps gain a bit of mobility back and she will "reward" herself. She still hasn't dealt with the root cause and this has been festering for a good 20 years. Until she gets help, she's just showing a facade and no one could tell me differently.

Maybe it was plateau?

That may be what she was going for, but again, at her size, plateau is nowhere in the near future if she's doing this correctly. In fact, there's no plateau for most folks until you've gone a couple of months and made a good amount of progress. It's usually in response to your body learning this new pattern and adjusting so you have to shake it up a bit.
 
Well, a lot of you guys sure are optimistic after one week resulting in a 2% weight loss.

I'll join your ranks in two more weeks if she's dropped at least 25 lbs.

That is to say, I'll be over here, being right, that fatso will give up once it gets a little hard.

quick poll
which comments are more triggering to you? the blindly supportive asspatters? or the "here faster than..." types?

Blindly supportive asspatters. Even if AL lost 400 lbs, she'd still be a piece of shit, and therefore undeserving of praise IMO. If she made honest, sincere amends to all the people she's hurt or conned in her life, maybe I could root for that person eventually. But every move she's made the past couple weeks has been entirely out of 1) self-preservation and/or 2) staying in favor with the people that provide for her every indulgence.

So any weight lost in pursuit of those goals is simply the cherry on top of her Fatass Sundae. ? She's trying way too hard to be this Mother Teresa figure now, and it's kind of astounding how well it's working. I guess a lifetime of practiced sociopathic manipulation has its perks.
 
I'm always fascinated by Amber's concept of time because it's so different to the rest of world. You know how one human year is supposedly equivalent to seven years for a dog? - in Amberlynn's world, one day seems to equal at least six months. This means that if she avoids bingeing for two days, she has TOTALLY overcome all her bad habits now you guyzzz and is STHUPER PROUD of herself.

Call me a skeptic, but don't they say it takes 3 - 4 weeks of consistent effort to have some impact on a changing a behavior? This distorted time frame seems to be a common trait in people with narcissistic personality disorders because they lack the capacity for self-reflection, and they dislike drawing any attention to their past because they have told so many lies that they can't keep track of them all.
 
With the way she wobbled through the kitchen in her last video, there is no fucking way that's her true weight. But at the same time, these people are so completely dumb that I'd be impressed if they found a way to fake it.

Typically cited amount of time to establish behavior change is 21 days. Even if she makes it there though it's not gonna have the same impact as say committing to writing every day if you want to be an author.

She has an addiction to food and the worst part of an addiction is psychological. And more so than say alcohol, or heroin, or gambling, food is everywhere. She's doubly fucked because it takes 2 years for fat cells to shrink back to normal size, if she has any major lapses it's back to square one.
 
This walking 562 pound turnip has YEARS of work to do in therapy to address her head full of salty mush - and that's being nice. Therapy isn't like going to a car mechanic - the person has to want to change*. I see nothing coming out of the yowling chasm called her mouth that indicates she has any intention of actual change. Remember, less than a week ago, this half-a-volkswagen said "it's not fair I can't binge on 10,000 calories with no repercussions."

YEARS.

If she's under 560 in a week, I'll be mildly shocked. Her "loss" so far is noise, she could drop as much just cutting salt completely for a week. People at her size lose 50 pounds or more a week, doing what they're told by Dr. No. The episode this week, the woman dropped 100 pounds in a month.

But AL knows more than that silly doctor, boo boo. Of course she does.


*I think the best psychotherapists in the country would struggle dealing with her. Denial + narcissism + fucked up childhood + low IQ: nightmare patient.
 
Eh, I mean like I'm not being optimistic persay but I do think that this 11lb weight loss is somewhat significant, given she hasn't been trying for a while. I know its just for the viewers, but that makes it more fascinating. It shows that she's only motivated by YouTube. And I don't want her to die because her mind is fucked in a fascinating way. But if her vainity and superficially and need for attention (and money) save her life, I'm down for the ride.

But advice to Amber: STOP READING THE FARMS IF YOU WANT MOTIVATION and see a damn therapist cuz u got issues.

No one's saying they're solved. They're saying she's perhaps finally on the right track.

I mean, Amberlynn's been a staple lolcow for years. People have thrown a ton of shit at her in that timeframe, telling her what she should do in order to lose weight, showing concern for her mental well-being, and not wanting her to die from food. Isn't it possible that all that has sunk in and we're seeing the beginning stages of betterment?

She has everything to lose if she fucks up and goes full-blown Smuggylynn this time. She might be more aware of that than we know.

but where's the evidence that this is her getting on the right track and not the cycle repeating? She's not addressing any underlying issues. She's not getting professional help. She's still being manipulative to her audience. She's ALREADY being a smug bitch thinking one week of willpower qualifies her to teach others how to lose weight. She's already laying the groundwork of pity if she falls off the wagon.

There's more going on here than a number on a scale. She's had a lot at stake for a while now. I don't want to admit it but I think that subscriber loss motivated her.....for now, and not for the right reasons. Based on her past behaviour, it's more likely she is wooing her audience and getting new followers. Look at her comments on her videos; are those people who are wise to her bullshit?

I fully get wanting to cheer her on. And I absolutely will the second I see some evidence that she's actually going to change this time. I haven't seen that. I think a lot of people share that view. It's not being pessimistic or wanting her to fail. It's just that we've been here before...multiple times. And not to put too fine a point on it: it's easier to lose 11lbs at her size

Not to mention, at her size if she was truly eating 1800 calories a day the weight loss should be much more significant. That's like maybe a 2 pounds weight loss a day. That's literally nothing for an almost 600 pound person lol. Also the fact that she straight up said "I didn't turn the weight loss packet in, I didn't even leave the house on Monday." Come on. She has no actual drive or plans to change beyond the facade she's putting on for Youtube. What's it gonna take for people to realize she needs supervised medical treatment to actually make an impact on her weight and quality of life? I guess not this since the comments and the posts have been crazy saccharine and optimistic, given the source. I'll happily eat crow and say I was wrong in 3 weeks (~21 days to start new habits) if this continues though so don't get it wrong. I think every single one of us started out genuinely wanting Amber to succeed but can't stand her inability to be truthful or genuine for even a second and that's still what's going on here. She hasn't magically changed over night without a therapist or Doctor's help. If you look at it, the fact that she continues to show her cunty side off main (tweets, younow), makes horrible comments and treats Becky like shit still, letting her be the scapegoat for everything this past 2 years, and admits that she's not actively doing anything when the camera's off? It's just not realistic to be this optimistic so early on gorls.

I dont know, I'm kind of hoping that her narc instincts make her loose like 100lbs max? She'd be sooo smug, but I think that that would lead to even more entertainment for us all.

fulfilling her needs as a narcissist (if she is one idk I THINK she might be but I ain't diagnosing her) wouldn't necessarily drive her to do that.

It's FAR less work and offers MUCH more instant gratification to be a health guru for a week or two and get asspats for trying. We're already seeing this now. She gets to feel her dainty health goddess fantasy without having to lose the weight. This is a fundamental issue with her. So there's no real incentive to do that, even if her motivation was purely narcissistic.

If she wants attention, her next mukbang video is going to give it to her in spades

Let's look at another narc cow, Onision. When he wants attention does he do the work of changing for the better and showing people he's growing as a person?.......or does he try to groom young girls and start fights on twitter and make a eugenia cooney video?
 
Nothing changes if nothing changes. She's setting herself up for failure, and so she will fail. Intermittent fasting, skipping breakfast, eating all your calories in one meal, etc. might work for someone who doesn't have a food addiction situation, but imo she should be eating sensible meals at regular intervals if she's to have any hope of succeeding.

Deathfats always want that one trick or magic pill that will guarantee success without any difficulty or effort on their part. Losing weight is hard. She will stumble. The key is to not give up when she has a setback. We'll see how she acts once she has her first horrific binge. If she gets right back on the wagon, I might be slightly impressed. If she uses it as an excuse to give up, well we all see where that's gotten her.

561.4 now, 11 lbs weight loss (she subtracted the weight of her clothes). Haven't seen her this serious before. If we see more consistent drops, well, I can't help but have more genuine optimism. Really hope she'll get in contact with a weight loss doctor and get her psych stuff in check, it would help accelerate this process. View attachment 731395

Hmm now that I think about it, you're probably right but I'm a softie so I still have hope. Y'all can laugh at me the next mukbang lol
 
Fuck me running, this confirms it. Those aren’t amberisms, she reciting out of the proana handbook. The fasting, binging, deprivation, not eating in front of the tv, enjoying going to bed hungry, eating slower, weighing clothes, all of it. Oh man, I knew this phase would come, it’s beautiful. It’s all decent advice don’t get me wrong now, but to do it all at once worded this way screams myproana (@pinkbutterfly i don’t know if you’ve seen this but, dear lord.) , she’s not addressing the issues of why she eats still. She can follow these rules to a T but the longer she spends lurking that shit, keeps her focused on food, when she loses control it’ll be even worse. And when she does she’ll gain it all back and then some. I can’t wait till she announces that she won’t be rewarding herself with food anymore because “it would make her like a dog” or whatever that quote is and her list of “safe foods”.
 
I think the word our gorl is looking for is ' plateau' which is hilarious since that is something that can happen after weeks/months of consistently losing weight while eating properly and exercising. After losing a majority of weight, the last few pounds may be harder to lose.

However, our superstar gorl thinks she is gonna plateau after a week.
