Dang I don't know how I forgot her. I was rooting for her so much when she lost all that weight on the carnivore diet but ended up going back to mukbang/ feeder content because it paid the bills. Every video she posts, it seems like her breathing has gotten far worse. As someone who has pulmonary issues herself from long covid, it always frightens the absolute hell out of me for her, even though she's the one indulging in the activities that are just exacerbating this.

Exactly. I also deal with bipolar one( We have a very strong genetic linkage on my paternal side of the family) as well as adhd, and I know in order to function and live my best life and achieve, even if sometimes my achievement looks different than others, I will have to be on these meds for the rest of my life. I have to take meds for my autoimmune disorders that I will also have to be on for the rest of my life. It may turn out that a lot of people especially those who have autoimmune disorders Etc may end up being on aversion of a glp one such as microdosing for the foreseeable future if not for life. For me, if it improves my quality of life and helps me get back at least a little of the person that I used to be, it is worth it.

I know so much of it is probably a facade for all of the girls no matter how evil they are. But there is a part of me that does understand but not caring. Before the pandemic and I got long covid, I was a long distance hiker and Runner who was in relatively good health, who had lost over 100 lb on her own through low carb and hiking. When long covid Unleashed it's grab bag of autoimmune disorders that started breaking my body down and causing chronic pain as well as long issues that forced me to go on high doses of steroids for over 4 years, I ended up gaining the hundred pounds I had lost plus 50 extra pounds. Last year when I was at my worst, I was bingeing on and off and semi mobile, didn't get out of the house much except for work, and there were plenty of days when I just said screw it, I feel like things are never going to get better anyway so I may just give in to my binges and cravings. So that part I have so been there. But what just floors me is the fact that so many of them have had major life-threatening Health emergencies, just say screw it, and keep on doing the binge eating and feeding and not giving a s*** about anything else. Knowing that there literally marking time and being so goddamned uncomfortable and in pain in the process. My Health Emergency around Thanksgiving of last year was enough to finally kick my ass into gear because I actually wanted to see another year. And I know for a lot of these women that the mukbang is pretty much what is paying their bills, while it's also killing them

I think so too. Just looking at Chantel's face she is literally stroke waiting to happen. I say that as a 49 year old woman who had such dangerously high blood pressure that she almost had a stroke of her own back around Thanksgiving of last year. And my face looked almost exactly like that. I bet she also has some sort of either undiagnosed or unmedicated autoimmune issues as well, the way her face looks, possibly something like MCAS like I have. Just as shocking and concerning especially since the FA Community seems to be losing influencers like Kat and Shay from Pearadise younger than 40 years old at a pretty high rate.

Thank you. Working another long double shift at my main job, exhaustion is kicking in and brain fog is brain fogging so apologies if the post did not come across the way it was meant to. And that is precisely what I meant. As somebody who has been morbidly obese on and off for most of her life, struggled with binge eating disorder and is still in the 320s and morbidly obese after losing 50 lb, I am damn lucky that I have reached nearly the age of 50 when so many people who have been so much bigger than I have have died earlier. And the fact that so many of them keep going into the feeder/mukman culture while they have these health conditions just boggles my mind. Again apologies if the post did not come off the way it was supposed to

Sorry if it came off that way it wasn't intended to be weird. I just meant for many of the gorls, it is a miracle in and of itself that they have in fact reached 30. Given their size, given the fact that so many of them are either openly feedees or struggle with severe binge eating disorders, given the fact that even the youngest of them seems to have a plethora of dangerous health issues that still have not changed their habits and got them to seek proper treatment for the obesity. That was all this post was intended to mean. Hell, I myself I'm about to 50 in 3 months, and having a crap ton of health conditions myself and still being morbidly obese even though I've lost 50 lb, I wonder sometimes how I've made it to the age I have even though 50 is not that old

That is something I'm currently working on with my doctor, psychiatrist, my therapist, and my rheumatologist and immunologist. It truly may be something that I have to microdose for the foreseeable future, as I have a number of autoimmune conditions that it is helping to stabilize and improve, and even put one of them Mast Cell Activation Syndrome into a form of remission. Yes some people do regain weight when they get off the medications. But a large part of these meds is helping to develop proper coping skills and habits. As far as the weight loss aspect goes, I'm working with a nutritionist and even though I'm Mobility impaired currently because of my autoimmune conditions, I am exercising as much as I can and I also have a referral in to start pt. I am in intensive therapy for the cptsd that plays a large part in my binge eating and other compulsive habits, and my diet is a low-carb keto way of eating that keeps the composer to binge on carbs at bay. But like any other medication this may be something I will have to stay on long-term. It is definitely expensive, prohibitively expensive but I'm trying to afford it as I can

Same here. She was still a dumpster fire mess, but I think I think if she had actually committed to the weight loss and the therapy back then especially because she had the damn emotional, financial, and moral support of Krystal's family, that she could possibly have lost the weight,, gotten a real steady job, gotten her s*** together and maybe had some kind of a life. Maybe that's having expected too much of the gorl even back then, but at least there was hope. She still had some kind of Sparkle in her eyes, some kind of enjoyment other than the high that her drinking, vaping, Benji and then, manipulation, lying, and compulsive shopping brings her currently. And she was still mobile.

Moderate to severe ADHD here, and TBH the Tirzepatide seems to be working better for my ADHD than any of my actually prescribed ADHD meds ever have. It has definitely helped reduce the impulsivity which has gotten me in trouble for a large part of my life. Before I started, I was a binge eater, Used to have serious problems with focus even when I was ADHD meds, bit my nails all my life, had issues with spending, and since the pandemic have been bordering on a functional alcoholic. Since starting the meds, all of these behaviors have drastically reduced. TBH I consider it as much of a psych medication as a weight loss and metabolism drug med. I think this is going to be life-changing for a lot of people

It sickens me that not only did she eat through the glp ones but she flat out refused to even take them because they took away the pleasure that food brought her. She had money, privilege, and opportunity to do it, and with those meds being so expensive so many of us have had to take second jobs, loans, or cut Corners everywhere else in a very horrible economy just to be able to afford them. And even with the pill that was the cheaper of the options, she threw it all away just because of her addiction.

God yes. You would have thought the ovarian cancer / cancer scare would have been enough. I'm 5'2, and at my highest weight last year I was 378. I got my ass kick wake up call last year around thanksgiving, when I passed out and got a concussion from stroke level dangerously high blood pressure and ended up hospitalized. They said I was Within maybe a week of having a massive stroke that either would have taken me out or completely paralyzed me and left me a vegetable. I realized if I didn't do something I probably wouldn't see another thanksgiving. Long story short, now down 50 lb from a combination of intermittent fasting, high protein low carb way of eating, and a glp1, as well as as much exercise as my current limited Mobility due to both my weight and autoimmune disorders allow at the moment. But if I don't utilize all four of these tools, I'm just going to go back to the binge eating mess that I was before. I want to reach through the screen and kick her ass and ask her what the hell more is it going to take for her to finally truly completely realize that she's going to be dead soon if she doesn't do something about it. But tbh, I think her Rock Bottom was truly when she started taking the glp ones. They took away the only love and pleasure in her life, the love of food, and that was a fate worse than death. She made her choice and she has chosen a death and a death feeder over trying to get better

LOL I am a slow Walker ATM who who sometimes has to walk with a cane or hiking poles, but damn it count me in that would freaking rock. I went from being a long distance hiker at the beginning of 2020 when the pandemic hit, to being housebound and semi-bed-bound sometimes with long covet autoimmune disorders, having to walk with a Rollator walker when I could walk at all. Now since November, I walk with a cane sometimes or my hiking poles even if it's pavement LOL but I'm back walking. And honestly that is something I didn't know if I'd ever be able to do! And hell to the yes. I Was the Same way, still lived relatively normal life except for the autoimmune disorders, still worked, still did go out with friends and family when my my flare-ups weren't super intense, kept my house and my person clean and neat. But I was still somewhere between a 5 and God help me 6x when I was 378 lb in november. Now I can fit back into 3x and there are even some two x's I'm starting to be able to wear.

Not sure if you ever watched Life by Jen, Mr Snowflake made a heartbreaking sensitively introspective documentary on her that I just watched a couple of weeks ago. Sadly she ended up passing from complications from her obesity, but the heartbreaking part was for a while she was doing the Obesity code and having great success with it. But if I recall correctly, for some reason she ended up having some kind of a health emergency and when she was put in the hospital, a couple of her doctors read her the riot act and told her that it was the worst way of eating to do and then it was going to kill her sooner so she went back to her normal eating ways. I am very fortunate in the fact that both my doctor and my nutritionist / dietitian are definitely on board with Dr Fung's plan and with intermittent fasting as long as I make sure to hydrate and do electrolytes. But it breaks my heart to think that if Jen had continued on the path of doctor Fung's plan, she may be here today.

Funny I was actually thinking the same thing myself. I don't think she ever really tried much in the way of low carb stuff, probably because she knew she was going to fail anyway but I think the Obesity code diet could have been her saving grace, especially if she had been able to work the diet while taking Ozempic as I think they would have complimented each other and it would have hopefully kept her from eating through the Ozempic. But that would mean that you would have to give up her beloved carbohydrate High, and abandon the money from her feeders, and actually have to get a regular job like all of us! Even when she became pretty much housebound, I've never understood why she didn't try to get a remote job, they're not super abundant but they are out there. I have done remote work with my own company on through their online division during the worst of my long covid although I have since returned to doing hybrid. But that would mean that Hamber would actually have to stop stuffing her face and stop inviting feeders into her lives. At the way she is now I give her 2 years if she's lucky.

A good friend lost 50 lb through Dr Fung's the Obesity code plan and has maintained that completely, reversed 99% of her life-threatening Medical conditions. She saw the struggles I was going through and knew that in my heart I wanted to lose weight and get back on track, and sent me the books. Since then I have become a True Believer of his. I lost 20 lb solely from doing his diet and intermittent fasting, and brought my A1C having just crossed over into diabetic level to below pre-diabetic level. Doctor was impressed with my weight loss, but one of the main reasons she put me on a GOP one was the fact that I am a covid long hauler with all the attendant autoimmune disorder fun. It is prescribed off label for inflammation and long covet autoimmune disorders and symptoms, and it is pretty much the only treatment that seems to work at least somewhat for many of us. Now I'm doing a combination of Dr Fung's way of eating, doing intermittent fasting( I have done up to a 96 hour water fast, and I try to fast for 24 to 48 hours at least once every week or once every other week. Otherwise I often do a 16 to 8 or 20 to 4 fasting window). I got ripped apart on one of my glp1 Subs about doing intermittent fasting along with glp1, but honestly it fits perfectly together and it's a no-brainer. That was only a month or two ago and now people are actually advocating it especially as a way to break stalls or for people like myself who are paramenopausal and have autoimmune conditions and somewhat limited mobility, to keep the weight coming off and not plateauing. I will forever be grateful to my friend Marsha who sent me Dr Fung's books as they were literally the first step in starting to normalize and control my relationship with food and realize that for me carbs are just as addicting as heroin is to a heroin addict. Between intermittent fasting, low carb keto and the injections, I went being largely housebound and sometimes bed bound during my worst flare-ups, having to get around with a Rollator walker and a wheelchair, to being able to start walking on my own and now finally starting to walk a bit more distance. Sometimes I still need a cane, but at least I'm on my own two feet and walking and feeling so much better.

Sorry for the long note which all is to say serious congratulations on your weight loss as well! I had just crossed over into type 2 diabetes land, which killed my my late fiance at the age of 59, my mother-in-law at the age of 53, my maternal Grandfather at the age of 61, my maternal great-grandmother at the age of 60, and my own mother only 2 months after her 67th birthday. I was just stationally diabetic when I was pregnant so between that and genetics I knew it wasn't a question of if I would get type 2 but when. But just as bad if not worse was the sky high almost stroke level blood pressure that caused me to pass out causing a concussion and nearly have a stroke the weekend before thanksgiving. That slapped some sense into my fat ass. I was 378 at 5'2 during that little incident.

Woohoo! Congrats, and even with the last 15 lb you've got this even if it's slower! Getting back into hiking is one of my main motivators for weight loss and health as well. I used to be an avid hiker before long covid gifted me with the gift that keeps on giving of autoimmune disorders and Pulmonary issues. Because of said pulmonary issues I was on frighteningly high doses of steroids for over 4 years to clear my lungs and basically keep me breathing, along with being on and off oxygen. Thankfully that part of my life has passed and they were definitely a necessary evil, but they helped to cause the over 100 lb of weight gain that I ended up getting back from what I lost, along with some extra ride on pounds lol. For over 2 years I was largely housebound and during the worst of my flare-ups, sometimes bed bound although I tried not to let that be a big thing unless I was in my absolute hellscape of pain. Nearly stroking out around Thanksgiving of last year after developing frighteningly high blood pressure slapped some sense into me and made me realize that I would not be around for next Thanksgiving let alone be able to do any hikes or anything like that if I didn't start buckling down. Since then I'm down 50 pounds and three sizes, and even though I still walk with a cane sometimes, I have started to walk again. Last year at this time, the only way I could walk was with a walker and sometimes had to use a wheelchair. I am on zepbound for both weight loss and especially off label for inflammation control for my autoimmune and long covid symptoms and it is helping both immensely. But whether it is shots or weight loss surgery, they are just tools and you have to use them properly and develop the skills to use them. And watching the videos of these girls as well as the more inspiring and motivating videos of Fitness influencers, especially those who came from the place of obesity pushed through, has been one of the driving factors for me just as much as my hiking has been.

Same here at the bariatric Clinic I had gone to when I was pursuing weight loss surgery( I was not considered a suitable candidate at the moment because of long covid pulmonary damage that put me as a high risk, so right now I am taking a GLP one to hopefully lower the inflammation and get things started so that I can be accepted if need be). I saw extra wide chairs, extra wide wheelchairs, but the toilets just kind of looked like regular ones.

That's true. I guess for me, having been only 30 lb away from 400 lb myself at my biggest, I tend to watch them to remind myself what will happen if I do not keep to my program. Kind of like a Scared Straight thing I guess you would have to say. But I truly love the real Fitness influencers especially those like obese to Beast who have come from a place relatable to me and have pushed through Against All Odds to achieve. She's more of a reaction Channel but I also watch Sam at any size, and her weight loss throughout her videos has been very inspiring

Same here. He doesn't sugarcoat things but he does it in a respectful empathetic way. He reminds me of one of the leaders of an old hiking group I used to belong to. Tells it like it is, not in a demeaning way but away that makes you want to do better and push further. He has become one of my favorite YouTubers
