She can't even bear to look at a pair of trainers now because of MuH tRaUma over twisting her fucking ankle, will the weight finally drop off of Our Gorl because surely she'll be too traumatised to eat now that she nearly choked to death, right? Right?
Haha! Someone actually asked her about this on IG (I didn't manage to save the screenshot). Basically, Amber said that she hasn't had Seafood Boil since, but no, there was no PTSD or trauma around seafood boil or eating in general. So brave. What a survivor!
...Edit: What fucking channel did she watch to pick up this over the top, dollar store giddiness?...
This is pure Piink Sparkles Saccharin that Amber's emulating. It's truly nauseating.

...Says they talked about her brother, and how overly emotional she gets talking about what he's going through, but oh, she's not going to say what that is because it's his business - except when you want to tell us he's on drugs or homeless or back in jail, I guess - and her therapist reminded her that she's going through a lot. Because apparently she's putting herself in her brother's shoes and feeling guilty about the things he's going through even though those things are not her fault and goddammit, Hamber, could you stop lying for even a single minute? Her therapist tells her she needs to learn to focus on herself. You don't do ANYTHING except focus on yourself, twat. Tries to get that quaver in her voice as she repeats the bullshit about putting herself in his shoes and claims her therapist said:...
This is where I lose the respect of all the fellow Kiwi's in this thread for my gullibility, but that whole section made me wonder if she is actually getting some sort of therapy. I mean, obviously this has been filtered through the lens of Amber, and it's not what a head-shrinker would tell her, but there were some things she mentioned about herself that she would have NEVER entertained the idea of before:
I mean, the brother thing has obviously been reinterpretted by Amber, but it sounds like her shink was trying to soften the blow with nice words, by pointing out how she obsesses and fills her mind with shit that doesn't involve her and that she can't fix - probably to give her the excuse of being too 'busy' or 'emotionally drained' to do the things she needs to do to fix herself. Remember when Jenny Craig had to become a 'Jenny Bye-Bye' because brother #3 (the one born while she was in foster care and she held him for 1 minute at the hospital) had made contact with Methmom and she was too emotional to focus on her diet? [You know, after he tried to contact her and she ignored him and didn't bother telling her mom that he was looking for her?] Focusing on her brother in jail gives her something that she can be depressed about, giving her the excuse to be too worried to do anything for herself that she doesn't want to do.
Her shrink likely said something to the affect of:
"You're over 500lbs, you rely on a 'romantic' partner to watch over you like a mother does with a toddler, you smell like a compost bin in the summer, AND you have a slew of medical problems on the verge of going *boom*. But instead of dealing with this, you're putting all of your energy into worrying about whether your brother is spending all of his commissary on Honey Buns to trade for butt-smuggled cigs in the clink! You're a mess - worry about yourself!".
And them Amber translated it to:
"Oh, my shrink pointed out that I'm going through a lot too, and that's important. But you know, it's so hard to think about myself because I'm such an EMPATH!"
And the other things she mentioned, too. Like the 'mind reading' (ignoring what people tell you, and instead decide that you know what they REALLY mean or how they REALLY feel). Or how she assumes that because something makes her feel bad, it must mean that the event itself was bad (when in reality her perception is fucked). She quickly glossed over that these behaviours are things that 'everyone does' (yeah, not to your pathological level, Amber), but she would have never come up with any of that herself. I doubt Lazylynn would have bothered looking up any of this stuff just to pretend she was getting some sort of therapy. She'd just keep saying "It was schtooo intense" while eating pizza and plaintain chips or a family-sized lasagna, like she did during the 'outpatient' lie.
I'm not saying that the WLS arc is 100% true (or even 1% true - I just don't know), but I'm saying that it's not completely out of the realm of possibility that she's talking to a psychologist in some capacity right now.

...Now on to virtue signaling about Temu and how it's cheap crap made by people who are basically slave labor. She's moralizing now about finding out a company's practices. But she's not going to speak on it so she doesn't run afoul of YT's TOS, and wtf are you talking about, bitch...
Amber's whole response to the TEMU nonsense really sounded fabricated, and an attempt at manufacturing controversy. I don't think people were as angry about TEMU as Amber was suggesting. I mean, TEMU isn't any worse than other companies that Amber uses (and to be fair, probably also a good chunk of her audience uses):
- They've been accused of using Uyghur slave labour for picking cotton and for sewing the clothing in sweatshops, just like Shein (who Amber also shops from)
- They have horrible working conditions for the Chinese workers in their manufacturing facilities, just like many other Chinese factories that produce the Dollarstore-level crap that Amber buys. Or like Foxconn, where I'm sure many of Amber's smartphones came from.
- Their app is essentially malware, that harvests WAY TOO MUCH data from user's phones, and has malicious code that can bypass security features to get EVEN MORE DATA then what it claims to harvest. Apparently, it's also really difficult to remove, and elements of it remain unless you do a full factory reset. Again, TikTok does the exact same thing - which Amber also uses.
TEMU unboxings seemed to be starting to take off because of people getting credits to purchase free merchandise if they got others to use their discount codes (she tried this before with her Hello Fresh meals in early 2020). Amy Slaton did a couple of TEMU unboxing videos, so I guess Amber thought me too. My guess is that she thought this would be a great way to get cheap (or even free) tat to unbox for content and ad revenue. Then Density ruined it with The Dusty Files. With that and people getting sick of every Amber video being either a tat haul or a new (self-diagnosed) illness reveal, Amber realized it wasn't working, so she decided to turn it into this opportunity to virtue signal as a diversion.
