🍗 Deathfat Amberlynn Reid - 600 pound pathological liar and U-Haul lesbian moving in with her next live-in maid/nurse/girlfriend.

[formerfatcow]

As others have mentioned, Amber doesn't really have any reason to change. Looking at her life from her perspective, what else could she possibly want? She has an enabling girlfriend, an endless cash flow from Youtube, and all the delicious treats in the world. The only thing I can think of is her wanting to get Destiny back, but I don't think Destiny would take her back even if Amber miraculously lost 400 pounds. Amber's problems are deeper than just her weight, and she's proven time and time again that she will never change her manipulative, selfish ways.

People who manage to get as big as Amber absolutely have to find motivation to both lose the weight and keep it off for good. For example, many patients on My 600 Pound Life are motivated by their kids, their significant other, their dreams, etc. Again, what does Amber have to work towards? As you said, she has food and that's all that truly matters to her. It's somewhat tragic to think about, but there's nothing that can be done to change the ways of a stubborn deathfat like her. I doubt she'll outlive Twinkie at this point.

Not to mention, it really is just a lot of weight to lose.

It’s really not that hard to start losing weight, and AL knows it. She does tend to lose a tiny bit of weight for a short amount of time nearly every time she revamps her weight loss efforts. But to really be successful she needs to be consistent. She does all this prep work to lose weight, gets herself all excited about it, but by the time the first five or ten pounds come off she’s already over it. I hate to even slightly defend AL, but it is an awfully daunting task. She could lose 200lbs and still be well into the morbidly obese BMI range. What’s the point in dedicating all that time and effort into losing weight if she could lose 200lbs and still be so far from healthy? And 200lbs would take a long time to lose even if she followed the ideal diet plan for her size. And the more weight she loses the more likely she’ll stop losing because her diet ceases to provide a calorie deficit. That’s why her goal weight doesn’t really matter, and she openly acknowledges it. The best she’s hoping for is a slightly smaller form of morbidly obese and why bother trying for that?

For AL to really complete her weight loss journey she would need to commit to years of a completely different lifestyle than she’s been accustomed to for most of her life. AL is not the kind of person who can fall off the wagon for a few weeks and at least maintain their progress without putting pounds back on. If she did fall of track it’d be highly unlikely she’d ever really start back up again anyway. Worst of all she has nothing going on in her life to really distract her from food and eating. She starts her diet and all she can really do is sit around the house or do laps in the driveway.

So from AL’s perspective, I kind of get. Not saying it’s okay, or that she should have ever let it get to this point to begin with, but it’s easy to see why she’s stuck. She’s got no real support system. As long as she has a doormat of a girlfriend to boss around, she’ll never lose the weight. It’s easier for her not to.

Just looking at the calorie count for that meal once again highlights how woefully re.tarded she is when it comes to food. Half a fucking chicken isn't a serving size for a human that's the type of quanity zoo keepers toss to alligators when its feeding time. IMO healthy eating means very little with out portion control. She strikes me as someone who stuffs her face and also probably grazes all day. A few cookies here, some cinnamon bears there, food that in the moment doesnt seem like much but at the end of the day is very significant.

 

[Malibougie]

Jesus. Reading the 4-5 prior posts to this really outlines what a bleak, hopeless world she lives in. It’s not like it wasn’t apparent before this, but you guys really honed in on a lot of good points about her future, chances of successful, or how unsuccessful her weight loss will be, and spell out perfectly what she has and what she hasn’t got, and unfortunately the list of what she hasn’t got is ten times as long as what she has. How absolutely fucking depressing.

Food is her best and only true friend. It’s the only thing that has been a constant in her life. Her parents let her down, and now she continues the cycle by letting herself down, her family down, and tens of thousands of subscribers down. What an absolute mess.

Sometimes she has brief windows of clarity about her reality, but then slips back to being self unaware, delusional, etc. I think she has to believe that she is living the life that she wants to live, otherwise I think it would be entirely easy justifying *checking out early. At least she wouldn’t be in pain of all levels anymore. She is a prisoner of her mind and body and now she only has one road which is ride this weight gain for who knows for how long, while slowly losing the ability to function or have any normal semblance of life. The amount of weight that she has to lose is virtually impossible, and that is for someone who is willing to do the work. She isn’t so here we are.

*i am not suggesting that suicide is the answer for her or anyone. If you or someone you know is thinking about suicide, yada yada yada suicide prevention hotline.

Meanwhile, will we be seeing any of the dynamic duo this weekend? They've gone fairly dark for the past week, and her last episode was shot two days before Thanksgiving. That makes us eleven days out of date...

Generally, an ominous silence means the binge monsters (plural; Becky is a second Binge Monster) have been in overdrive, and with all those holiday m&m's and candy canes and Christmas cakes and cookies and gingerbread lying around (not to mention the super-dense hot chocolate being prepared by the vat), it seems hard to believe that the monsters have been kept at bay.

I'm actually more curious to hear about Becky now. I assume Amberlynn is pushing 560. But has Becky crossed 300 yet? Has she given up on ever fastening her pants again? Becky has had a much snottier attitude towards the viewers in regards to questions about her weight (even though she voluntarily joined Amberlynn in the weigh-ins that never happened) and some dim part of her is disgusted by her own weight gain. So, watching her balloon up has a certain satisfaction to it...

 

[Twinkie]

@Malibougie what's really depressing is when you think about how many people are out there who are exactly like this, they just aren't on social media.

Generally, an ominous silence means the binge monsters (plural; Becky is a second Binge Monster) have been in overdrive

Following this pattern for a long time now, it's becoming increasingly obvious that she doesn't do jack shit once the youtube pay period is over which IIRC is around the 21st of the month. She knows she made her money and is just waiting to get paid.

 

[Malibougie]

Lately she has been saying that the example of the meal that she is mukbanging would be filling for a normal person, which me implies that what she showed us mawing down on isn’t all she ate in the sitting, and to a degree she is right. She has stuffed her stomach be larger than a football. I doubt she ever truly feels full anymore.

She is telling us that she is the exception, and she isn’t wrong, but she has the choice to decide if she wanted to try and fix it, and the only way would be WLS.

She's working towards her goal of 600 elbees so she can announce it by Christmas. Come on gorl, you know how difficult it is to inhale that orange chicken, be more supportive of her.

 

[easyaf]

She is telling us that she is the exception, and she isn’t wrong, but she has the choice to decide if she wanted to try and fix it, and the only way would be WLS.

Even though WLS doesn't guarantee success (and is fraught with potential health issues for those who don't follow guidelines), I would definitely agree that it's AL's only chance to see any sort of significant sustained change at this point. Unfortunately (as discussed before) AL has actually sized out of the point that any regular surgeon is willing to take the risk of having her on the table (even if she made the decision to budget and save the money to do it privately - which she won't).

Youtube suggested this video because I've been watching AL, it's about Britain's heaviest man. He weighs in at 65stone (910lbs) - new goal weight for our gorl anyone?

On a less flippant note, it's genuinely kind of amazing that he's still alive (even as seriously limited as he is), so AL may actually stick things out longer than we expect.

ETA: Watched the video and the guy did pass away, but the point that he was alive for a fair mount of time at a weight that extreme still stands.

The only person I know of who survived such an extreme weight and is still alive is, Marya Rosales, the woman who took the heat for her sister murdering her nephew/son respectively. She was over 1,000 pounds and is now 154 pounds. Amber should be able to see someone like Marya who has lost 800 pounds and should see hey I can do that too. Maybe Amber must also be looking at decades long conviction to gain motivation to lose weight.

She may very well be, but Amberlynn would be wise to note that Rosales is literally one-in-a-billion. Only one other woman comes even close to her, and then there's a big gap until third place.

Some perspective:

Amberlynn would need to lose 400 pounds to become a chubby woman of 150-160 pounds. There are very few documented cases of a woman ever losing 400 pounds; I've been Googling for the last 20 minutes, and have found just a handful.

Losing 400 pounds would be the same as 2.2 times the biggest weight loss by a woman on The Biggest Loser. There were three women who lost 400 pounds or more on My 600 Pound Life. There have been a few women who were not on TV shows who lost that much. And that's it.

It seems that to become human-sized again, Amberlynn would now have to succeed at one of the ten most dramatic weight losses in history for a woman. And this effort would have to come from a woman who puts on 20 pounds every time she starts a new diet.

THAT is what she is now up against.

 

[THEY’RE CODEPENDANT]

I really think that if Amber thought Destiny would ever come back she wouldn’t have gained this much weight.

Wow. This is fairly bleak, laid out like this, but this is certainly not an over-exaggeration.

In a sense, it would have been better had Amber never attempted weight loss in the first place and stayed at her beginning weight. She and Chantal are perfect examples of people who "diet" their ways to the oversized grave. They are stuck in an endless cycle of failure that happens every time they decide to try to lose weight:

--Fat person fails to do the psychological work and environmental prep necessary for successful weight loss.
--Fat person feels deprivation, has no idea how to cope with it and binges almost immediately.
--Fat person then decides that since she binged she should go ahead and continue eating, pushing the "real" start date out a week.
--Because the fat person knows she will be attempting a diet again soon, she gorges until the start date, adding an extra ten pounds to her starting weight.
--Repeat until 420 pound girl becomes immobile and/or dies.

In order to lose weight Amber will have to break from this cycle and THEN she will have to face the grim picture @Dutch Courage presents regarding the daunting odds against Amber being one of very small number of women who manage to lose 400+ pounds. Grim...

I'm also really curious to see how much bigger they've gotten since their last vlogging session. Eric recently uploaded a video, so I was hoping that the blobs would be in it. However, it was perhaps the most boring video I've even suffered through. The entire video was just Eric and Rickie sitting there reviewing scented candles. For 20 minutes straight. I have a sneaking suspicion that Amber avoided Eric's vlog on purpose so viewers wouldn't be able to see how much weight she's gained. Amber would never voluntarily miss a visit to Cracker Barrel!

On another note, it's so strange to see how much Amber and Eric in particular overconsume on so many worthless things. You'd think that they would be satisfied with their hundreds of notebooks, candles, and DVD's, but they still pile on more shit. I can't wait to see all the inevitable Torrid and Walmart hauls this Christmas.

Does anyone know if Amber had any New Year's Resolutions for 2018? Considering she pitifully failed 2018, I'm interested to see how she'll "improve" in 2019.

 

[DNA_JACKED]

Stereotyping much? But in her case, you are correct. She could easily end up type 1 though.

**
Quick difference between Type 1 and type 2

Type 1: Holyshit you don't make insulin.

Type 2: You produce insulin, but it's not utilized properly. Also called Insulin Resistance.
**

Given how massive Amber is, I'd say her pancreas flat out failing isn't off the table. Like deathfats suffer organ problems, fact of life.

Now Kiwifarmers, has Amber mentioned how often she vomits? This is a pretty legit sign of being untreated diabetes. You get horribly ill from eating what others do, and it's the body desperately trying to purge sugar. I know folk have mentioned her teeth look bad. Also would be compounded by rampant vomiting. Which destroys the enamel like a charm.

Not to mention didn't she say she uses tums alot? She's probably at the stage where she pukes constantly, refuses to get help, and because she threw up, shoves more food in or she thinks she'll starve to death.

Type 1 was called *juvenile* diabetes for years for a reason. Diagnoses in their 20s are very rare.

One of the functions of insulin is to allow the body to turn glucose supplies into fat cells to use as fuel later. Without insulin, your body cannot store energy. One of the symptoms of type 1 diabetes is rapid weight loss, as the body has no way to replace fat supplies used in day to day life. One of the symptoms of late stage Diabetic KetoAcidosis, where the body begins to furiously burn fat supplies to keep the body running and pumps out fuckloads of ketones in the process, is vomiting, but take it from personal experience, if you are in DKA and vomiting, you cant keep that shit up for a day, forget years on end; once the vomiting starts you are experiencing the first stages of organ shutdown. If Gorl was a undiagnosed type 1, her fat ass would be in the hospital, and if she was shedding weight from lack of insulin, she would be parading her diet successes all over youtube, not putting weight on.

In addition, the pancreas is responsible for a fuckload of different hormonal regulations. If her pancreas were to outright fail, diabetes wouldnt even be a blip on her radar of problems she would be facing.

Now, vomiting can be a response to high blood sugar, which is a symptom of type 2 diabetes as well. In type 2s, the body overproduces insulin to counter insulin resistance. A side effect of this is rapid weight gain, as the body is taking energy that should be going to bodily functions and throwing it into fat cells instead. This is why beetus deathfats complain about being tired all the time, the energy that is supposed to go into feeding their muscles and brain is busy feeding their fat cells.

This would help explain amberlynn's rapid weight gain lately, if she is an undiagnosed type 2, her rampant intake of calories would be packing on pounds at a ridiculous rate. In addition, she would be thirsty a lot, and our gorl would be drinking soda and juices instead of water to satiate that thirst, only compounding the cycle. Then, her blood glucose would go higher, making her thirstier. When she eats a large meal, which she does constantly, her sugar would spike AGAIN, to such a level that her body would purge the sugars similarly to a DKA patient. And when she vomits, she shovels more food in to avoid 'starving', only making the problem worse.

The vomiting could be linked to god knows how many other reasons though. Off of the top of my head:

1. Gorl's hormones are off the wall due to her weight, and crazy hormones could cause nausea and vomiting. Most women can probably back that statement up.
2. Gorl is simply eating way too fucking much, and her body is physically purging it to prevent further damage.
3. Gorl's stomach acids and digestive system are fucked up from her diet, causing nausea and vomiting.
4. Gorl could have ulcers from cronic long term inflammation and stress from being a deathfat, undiagnosed diabetes would also derail her immune system making this more likely
5. constant food-borne illnesses from her utter lack of hygiene and constant eating out.

In short, amberlynn is a complete disaster of medical issues and dietary problems, and the clock is ticking. Given she is falling apart at an earlier age then, say, chantal or chance is telling, her body cant handle the weight as well as other deathfats, and is likely to give out a lot earlier. I'd bet she wont see 30 without something being cut off.

Honestly, I suspect if she saw a doctor now, they'd be doing surgeries in the next month or two. I think if Rickie was truthful we'd find out she has necrotic tissue but he's the only one with enough brains to realize it's not a rash etc.

Also not every one with type 1 loses weight. Amber could actually be thin if she understood caloric intake. She doesn't, but..well.

 

[Francis Dollarhyde]

Goddamnit, that's all I can see now. Her center incisor on her left side is in the dead center of her face, right under the middle of her nose

Did she not say she needs her wisdom teeth removed? Wisdom teeth pushing the other teeth is a common cause. I had that same issue. Jaw too small, they need to be removed. Odds are they are not in straight but going vertical due to lack of room. Quite the party for any dental surgeon, I must say.

 

[Polystyrene Glioblastoma]

Amberlynn's vlog released today was an absolute snooze fest. Highlights include: Amberlynn discusings her teeth, vlog plans, sleep problems, Christmas gift bag "haul", constantly name dropping Trisha Paytas, and Eric being annoying in the background.

If she had undiagnosed type 1, she would lose weight, because the body would be lacking the ability to put any energy into storage as fat, and short of eating 24/7/365, you are going to burn fat throughout the day, or at night when you are sleeping. Whether or not you lose weight with undiagnosed type 1 diabetes has literally nothing to do with what you eat, you WILL lose dramatic amounts of weight even on an amberlynn diet. It is a catastrophic failure of the endocrine system that is 100% lethal without modern medical intervention.

I doubt she would be having surgeries at her size. Too risky to put her under. If she did a 180 and started going to an actual doctor, she would most likely be put on metformin to curb insulin resistance, which she is guaranteed to have at that size regardless of whether she has full blown diabetes yet. She would be put on a very strict diet, and would be put into intensive therapy to straighten out that twisted mind of hers.Necrotic tissue would be de-bridled, and she would have to grit her teeth through the process.

Not that it will ever happen. If Amber possessed the mental faculty to get help, she wouldnt have let herself get to 600 elbees in the first place. The only time any of that will happen is when she is in the hospital after a major medical incident, at which point she will be both bedbound and on a slippery downward slope. Much like chance, she will suffer one infection and wound after another until she eventually croaks.

EDIT: holy fuckin engrish.

Pretty sure she's said they are growing in quite a few times, I take that as she's just going to let them be. Aside from this video today, well and in it I guess, she's always touted herself for having AHMAZEENG teeth. She had all her cavities taken care of at 18, you know.

 

[Strine]

Amber isn't going to lose weight. She has untreated type 2 diabetes (not 1; she would be long dead) and will die from that within 5 years. Grim yes, sad yes, but there's no evidence whatsoever that she'll swerve from her current trajectory.
