thanks for checking out today's video! I'll be back with one more ALR reaction tomorrow :) see you all then
Thank you for posting!! ❤
Your reaction on the thumbnail is on point! Lol 🤭
Bottom line is ALR wants to lose weight ...a quick fix ...but doesn't want to put in the work!
Appreciate your work - but just as everyone else, ALR is becoming unwatchable for me because of the repetition and denial... I've been watching even reaction channels less as she becomes increasingly unbearable - but really want you to know how much your work is appreciated.
So Amber fits the classic bipolar diagnosis in that a hallmark symptom is manipulation of the health care system in multiple ways. we call this type of patient non compliant, doctor shopper and diagnosis shopper. They manipulate the health care system to get diagnosis that validate their feelings with or. without scientific regard however when it comes to the patient needing to take accountability and directive for taking care of their health there are a buffet of excuses and it is always someone else’s issue why the patient is suffering from a diagnosis they may or may not have. This is actually a mental health issue then a physical one. They are very hard to treat and i garuntee you her doctors are aware that her bipolar is the main issue here. We have to remember what she says about her medical care we have to take with a grain of salt of what is the actual truth. To get a lipeadema diagnosis patients usually have to loose a lot of weight first. I’m not sure she got the diagnosis. It sounds like it’s a Amber diagnosis and an assumption.
She can't do keto or take Ozempic because of her gallbladder. She can't do the eating disorder program because they don't want her to focus on weight loss. She can't count calories because it triggers her BED. So she can't do anything that might actually help her which leaves her with doodling and 100 days of weighing in.
And eating “intuitively “ 🙄 which will not EVER work for her. At this point her only option is inpatient.
Except she doesn't have BED. She is addicted to the dopamine release from sugar/salt/fat in processed foods. She overeats to self-medicate. She needs to detox and start using food as fuel, not feelings. There are so many tiny changes she COULD actually do but it would require her to follow instructions from someone else.
@@andiward7068 I noticed that. She's addicted to food because what she eats is filled with chemicals meant to make you addicted. You won't catch her binging on stuff that actually makes her feel good health wise.
Is she addicted to food or the feeling of control since she otherwise has no control over her life aside from the food and buying random shit she doesn’t need…
@@andiward7068 I've always said I don't believe that she actually had BED either. She just loves food and loves junk. She just likes the feeling of eating and feeling full constantly.
So let me get this straight:
-Keto is the main diet for lipedema
-Keto makes her gallstones worse
-Ozempic conflicts with her gallstones
-Her gallstones can’t be removed due to her weight
-She says she needs treatment for lipedema in order to lose weight
That seems quite convenient reasoning to be able to continue eating and doing whatever she wants.
And eating keto gave her bathroom issues or was it the 5 pints of keto ice cream....🤔
Right you know she’s just gonna keep eating saturated fat and never mention again that it’s bad for her gallstones or whatever
@@moviemoth4192 exactly! She doesn't give anything enough time (ozempic or keto), then overlaps two drastic actions (ozempic doing well supposedly, then adds in keto on top), and then blames the diet for everything (maybe it was the combo of these things? We will never know)....
Just say you don't want to do any of it and stay fat & happy....sheesh.
What a clusterfuck huh!? That's our gorl
🎶 iiits the ciiiircle…. The ciiiircle of liiiiife 🎶
This seems so easily solved by just calling the lipedema specialist and saying “I am finding keto is aggravating my gallstones and triggering my BED. What do you recommend?”
But it’s clear she doesn’t actually have any intention of getting better.
That would require her to actually DO something. What would be her excuse then
Very well said
Yea I agree, it’s like once she ditches their advice or they encourage her to put in some effort she thinks they have no idea and drops them as a doctor.
No joke, keto isn’t even the highest recommended diet for lipedem. It’s actually the RAD diet which is low carb, low fat, plant based….
@@RL-fg6ec she tried being vegetarian for like two days years ago, i dunno if she would ever put in the effort to do that again lol
Omg her cycle is honestly so annoying. New diet > it's amazing > stops liking it > blames doctor > she always knew it was wrong. Guuurlllllll wake up!!
summed it up perfectly, it’s ridiculous beyond belief
To be fair, I was almost sure ozempic was it. But naaa, the gallstones reruns
Wash, rinse, repeat 🔁 over and over again
This
She won’t. I’ve been following since I was a senior in highschool and I’m literally 27 with 2 kids now. Nothing has changed except location and gorlfrand 🤷🏼♀️
Shes getting conflicting medical advice because she's giving different stories and keeping important info to herself. Every doctor gets a new Amber based on what she needs. She mentioned it herself.
Sounds like doctor shopping 💁🏻♀️
@@mistyblue9610 Miss Amberlynn's shopping addiction has extended into medical offices 😔😔
Yup.
And she does it on purpose so that she can keep in her addiction.
@@razzle8140 yes it seems to me that she is protecting her addiction. Until she is open, honest, and maintains a doctor(s) that KNOW her, she will continue on this horrible road that doesn’t lead anywhere good.
she needs inpatient care which has psychiatric drs, weightloss drs, and primary care drs! that way she’ll have limited access to food and can’t lie to drs. i know she’ll never do it but it would be so good for her
Ok… so she binged on the chips ahoy cookies that she showed us in the beginning, but she stopped mid-binge to make a Tik Tok of her acting out a binge with the same chips ahoy cookies? And THEN she finished the cookie binge? Ok, Amberlynn 🙄
"oh shit I need to somehow make this not my fault and twinky is too short to get on the counter to open the cupboard so that's out. I'll just say it was my binge diseaaaaase and that I totally didn't enjoy process of eating these.. although.. maybe becky. it was beckys fault"
or better yet! She binged on a whole box of chips ahoy, decided to make a tiktok about the binge, got MORE chips ahoy cookies, possibly decided to eat the whole second box too because it was already open and in front of her
It’s the weird victimhood that I see straight through. Her morbidly… MORBIDLY obese ass is not binging on broccoli. STOP IT
It’s so predictable lol
as someone who has worked hard to stay clean for two years from a self harm addiction, I see my old self in her excuses. she needs inpatient treatment.
Two years! You’re doing great!
Good for you homie! Im on a year so far! Its hard as hell
@@wainakwuchnic3027 it does get easier to ignore the urges over time but I wish they would go away. the addiction is right behind me all the time.
Definitely agree 👍
Great job! 👍 you got this
I love the saying “choose your hard.” Being big and unhealthy is hard, getting healthy and doing better for yourself is hard. Choose your hard Amber. She needs to make a choice and commit to it.
Wow, exactly. But again, her mental health struggles make both extra hard, but her brain makes being big and unhealthy feel a little easier. Change feels extra hard for people with complex ptsd, or childhood ptsd, so we often pick the easier feeling path. She needs to be going to weekly counseling, point blank period.
Agreed! Nothing in life worth having comes easy. She expects easy & quick results without having to put forth any type of effort & when she doesn’t see the results, she makes excuses to quit
Yes! My version of that is ‘everything has a price’.
Ooo I've never heard that saying before and honestly that's profound. I'm going to remember that.
@@kaylakthulhu8623 exactly. I feel like she thinks it’ll be easy right away. It took me years of hospitalizations, therapy, rehab etc to get to where I am today. Something just has to click for her to want it.
Wifey is gone for Thanksgiving and she's spiraling out of control. She quit keto and started binging right after she left.
i hope she realizes how much the presence of another person makes her want to stay accountable. i really think inpatient could work for her.
It’s behavior change, Amber Lynn. You’re responsible for changing your behavior. Not journaling, not your health care team, not your medications. YOU are responsible for overcoming your challenges and changing your behavior.
I use journaling to talk myself through challenges in my life. Not to justify why the world hates me so I have no responsibility
Yeah exactly. Unless she gets it she's not gonna get better. I have trauma I blamed everybody but myself and blamed by unhelwtyh behaviour on it and expected others to fix it for me. That of course didn't work. Nobody is going to do the work for her. I finally understood I had to take responsibility and bam. Finally was getting better but gosh it's hard work.
She needs to start being honest with herself. She says broccoli triggers binging as much as cookies? Then why does she always binge on shit like cookies? Why not just binge on broccoli?
Because that’s absolutely not true. And until she knows this and owns this, and things like this, she’s going to keep struggling.
accounting is putting numbers in a book.
therefore, accountability.
check, 3 pieces of pizza and a mate.
She’s an addict. Textbook, not different from a single other addict. She has a disorder, but it’s not the ones she thinks she has. It’s the one she won’t ever admit she DOES have.
Wow!
She's addicted but confuses her substance. It's not FOOD, it's the high sugar/salt/fat combo that triggers her dopamine response. She *does* need to eat to live but not eat the crap she does.
@@andiward7068 chemicals are chemicals. We can become addicted to anything that causes chemical changes in our bodies. You’re right hun. Sadly, she won’t so much as admit it. So.
The denial, the excuses, the convincing herself that she had everything in control. When in fact, she doesn’t.
Pretty sure that her narcissism is connected to the fact she won’t admit that she is one. She probably refuses to attach her issue to the negative overall view against the word “addict”. Trying to maintain an image SHE pretends to have about saying IM A GOOD PERSON.
she thinks shes unique. but theres millions of us

Can't wait for the merch. 😂
Thank you for memorializing this quote
@@ZacharyMichael anytime 😌
someone explain to me how wifey is supportive
And who are these family and friends she has all of a sudden?
@@Charlotte-sx3bs Don't fall for it, she has nobody, not even Wipey.
@@LilithOfTheNephilims honestly, Zach is the best friend she appears to have. She should start communicating more with him. This is the shit a real friend will say to her.
@@BeckBeckGo nah he’s been clear that he doesn’t want her in his DMs anymore haha
When they first got together amber acted like she was going to lose heaps of weight because it was becky holding her back and nothing else. They had planned to be going on hikes by now haha. I wonder what feline is thinking 😂
It made me so mad when she said she has no one to talk to for a few months because her psychologist is going on maternity leave... like girl it's a medical professional, not your lifelong bestie, she's replaceable. What a horrible excuse!!! I know it's hard to talk to someone new, but if she really cared, she would do it.
In Canada that therapist would be gone for 18 months!
Yeah my medical professionals have lists to refer me when they are absent, I don't need to start looking by myself from scratch.
I guess she forgot her recent lie about how her psychologist just suddenly stopped working at the clinic. She said this after she stated how her psychologist was pregnant and will be going on maternity leave and how ALR was just soooo happy for her and cried you guise!! Then the psychologist just decided to stop working there. And now she’s back to being on maternity leave. She should use one of her hundreds of journals to keep track of all her lies. She always manages to tell on herself simply because she lies so much that she can’t keep track of them all.
These longer videos are honestly where it's at. I've been watching you for years and I still refer back to your older longer videos (like struggles of me being). Please keep it up, we're here for you.
Couldn’t agree more. I do the exact same thing lol
Same!
For real! Agreed! I just cleaned up the kitchen and shoveled some snow while listening to this. Zach's videos make everything seem less tedious.
Oh my god. I thought i was the only one. Putting a Zach video on and doing whatver is IT. One of the few people i can depend on to keep it going throughout. Or maybe its that whiny bored emo teenager voice 😂😂😂
I agree. I hope it’s easier on editing too.. but if it’s more difficult to edit i guess i could live with the shorter ones 😉
I literally thought "why were the cookies in the house to begin with" just as you said it.
This is how AL is. She starts something all excited, then the moment the shiny newness wears off, and things get hard, she gives up and says it isn't working. Yes it's hard, but you have to push through. If it was easy everyone would be physically and mentally healthy.
The problem is that excitement is only a day or two and then it’s back to not working for her
She is 'look a squirrel! in human form
I think her diet cycling is her just looking for an easy fix for a massive (literally) problem. And there isn’t one! If it doesn’t work in a day or two, she’s done because by then; it’s getting hard, and she actually has to try. That’s why she wanted the Ozempic. And why she’s constantly diet cycling.. once shit gets real, and it’s up to Amberlynn to put in the real work; she’s out. It doesn’t work, and she blames it on someone else, usually her doctor. If she were serious about losing weight, as an addict, she wouldn’t have any of that shit food to binge on! She would rather let this kill her than to put in any real work into getting better, and that’s sad! Couldn’t be me.
@@shelleydaly1726 exactly. And nothing works for her because she never gives anything a chance! She fakes trying to diet for a couple days or a week, and when she doesn’t immediately lose a significant (if any) amount of weight, she gives up the charade and claims that it’s not for her.
@@michiganmama562 she claims to advocate for herself and her health…but it seems she only does that when she needs to blame healthcare professionals for being incompetent. It can’t possibly be her diet and the fact that she omits parts of her health history when seeing different specialists.
If you noticed no back noise. I bet this was during the time when Jade was in NYC for her court hearing. She feels so alone, because she was alone.
What do you mean? Amber has lots of friends
@@iain9757 😂 you gotta be joking
@@mcdonna840 I think they were hahaha
What court hearing?
@@bbranch123 Oh, Jade has all these lawsuits from a prior employer against her/lawsuits against her prior employer.
Tbh, ALRs eating disorder and physical health issues are so severe and complex that I really don't think she is able to manage this as an outpatient. You have to match the intensity of treatment to the intensity of the illnesses and she keeps thinking she can just start a new diet and it will be the answer to all of her problems. I really do believe that inpatient treatment is the only thing that will help ALR and intensive outpatient support beyond that. She may not get better, not because treatment fails her or she is flawed, but because she isn't committed to getting the treatment that can help her.
Love your videos, as usual! The only reaction channel I can watch at this point.
As a Clinician for 27+ years myself YOU ARE 100% CORRECT!
She is incapable of management on an outpatient basis and it’s not that she’s “dumb” it’s just tooooo far gone for her to manage alone this isn’t a 50 pound weight loss
I have lived with binge issues longer than Amber has been alive. I’m having dinner right now: a huge stir fry of veggies, with some legumes and rice added. The rice and legumes are a serving, the vegetables are added in a huge amount to bulk out the meal. I absolutely binge on broccoli, on cauliflower, on apples, on frozen blueberries. I lost half my weight doing this. The desire to shovel food into my face doesn’t go away so I had to change the food I shoveled in. I made a video about it, and some other things I’ve learned. It sucks but being morbidly obese (like I was in the past) sucks way more.
Congrats on the loss. Excellent positive way to approach it!
I wish she would just say that she doesn't want to lose weight and she's just gonna live her best mediocre life as long as she can 🥳 In the words of Lisa Rinna "Own it!" 💋
The BESTEST low-quality, high stress, sedentary life in the world.
She's got the life of a house cat in a castle.
Yes! Random, but my best friends step mom is super lazy and hasn’t worked in 10+ years whike her family has struggled to get by. To this day, she does NOTNING to help financially but will gladly spend her husbands money and sees it as “hers”. She has every excuse in the book as to why she can’t get a job. If she would just say “I’ve not worked in an decade and I really don’t wanna start now” I would have so much respect for her:
@Michael Fink Even cats break out and have fun lol
If she's not pretending to try to progress there is absolutely nothing to keep people watching or pull in new viewers. She needs 'story arcs' to make a living
Oh I’m sure she does want to lose weight but she just doesn’t want to change her lifestyle for it. Apparently the side effects of her weight are still not severe enough to her. She’s an addict. 🤷♀️
I also used to think that I was the one person who couldn’t heal from an eating disorder, yet here I am now navigating life in long-term recovery. It took me nine years of various intensities of treatment and therapy to finally get some momentum going in this part of my life. For anyone struggling who took the time to read this, I believe that you 👏🏻 are 👏🏻 capable 👏🏻of 👏🏻recovery. If we loose hope, we have nothing left.
I needed to hear that. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing your experience 😊
I love your words of positivity and I truly thank you 😊
LOVE IT!!! ❤️❤️❤️👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
The lymphedema specialist more then likely didn't tell her to go on a "diet" as a quick fix to her problem, but an implementation of life style change in order to help her condition
She wants to lose weight without having to change a thing about her, after all she knows best
Wait. How does "I feel like a burden so I can't talk to my loved ones about my feelings" NOT come up when talking to her therapist??!!
and if wipey is so supportive why isnt she actively helping with the whole burden thing
People get tired of hearing someone complaining all the time, claiming to be doing the work but not. Just looking for quick fixes . She needs to be talking to a therapist.
I had my gallbladder taken out and it wasn't infected. I just had repeated gallstone attacks and the doctors took it out immediately
I had only one attack ever, went to the ER, and they took out mine the same day. No infection or rupture. 🤷♀️ But I'm sure her weight would make them hesitant to do it electively. However, if it ruptures and she ends up with sepsis, it'd be life-threatening and even more dangerous for anesthesia. If I were her, I'd push to have it done before that happens....
@@Charlotte-sx3bs that’s put mine came out. One attack, surgery the next day (I got the ER later at night so had to wait until the next morning. Thank goodness for pain meds!)
Yes she’s lying. She can’t get the surgery because no doctor would operate with the risk of a 500pound liability on the table.
They probably told her they wouldn’t operate unless it was infected and an emergency but she misconstrued those words into an excuse to not lose the weight needed for the procedure.
Same here, not sure of its different over here in the UK but after having attacks over a period of a few months they scheduled me in for surgery, without presence of an infection. 🤔
I guess that it is a risk assessment - in Ambers case it needs to be way more severe to take the risk to put her under. At Ambers weight, operating is quite a huge risk in itself.
I need you to know that I get more compliments on my "Gay Not Stupid" Champion hoodie than I have on any other article of clothing I own. I love it and so does everyone I see. You've got the best merch my love! Keep up the awesome!
I love to hear that bestie!!!
The crazy thing about maintaining a 500 pound body, is that she can eat 1700 calories of cookies, have 2000 more to play with, and still lose weight.
It’s true. She has to consume a lot of calories just to maintain her current weight.
🤯
What’s crazier is she’s not maintaining… she’s GAINING
But guys…. You have to realizzzzzze that she eats the same as her skinny friends 😅
@@mistyblue9610 her skinny friends combined, lol
She’s hopeless. I can’t do this anymore. She is the reason I have trust issues. I want to bang my head against the wall. At this point I’d rather she just stop trying or stop talking about it because it’s the same cycle for years and years and it’s exhausting and pointless.
Idk if you're old enough to remember, but she is the Lucy holding the football to our Charlie Brown hoping this time will be THE time.
I guess the cookie fat is better for the gallbladder than the steak fat is. Nutrition-Lynn strikes again. And Doctor-Lynn your gallbladder should have been removed but the weight is the issue. The risk of the surgery and her survival is greater than leaving the gallbladder and just dealing with occasional pain.
Yeah I feel like she’s missing that part out of the gallbladder saga…
I’m betting that’s why they told her infection needed for removal so then they would weigh the risk factors and infection would be a bigger one.
Throwing herself a MASSIVE pity party. 🎉🥳🎻 Love to Zach and Judy. 🐾 💕💕
When my therapist went on maternity leave she had set up three other therapists to take on her patients. I ended up staying with the therapist I saw, but more to the point I don't think it's normal for a therapist to not set up a secondary temporary therapist for their patients.
It's not true, don't sweat it.
Yeah, it’s absolutely false and not normal! And probably unethical to some extent.
It's normal for addicts to lie about going to therapy.
The cookies have saturated fat, and she also said in one of her videos, that she bought a few different flavors of Rebel ice cream, which is Keto, I think she said 57g of saturated fat. She has so many excuses. What she should do is send an email to all three doctors and tell them she is confused as to what plan to follow. ALR needs inpatient therapy she can't do this on her own, she doesn't accept responsibility for her binge eating.
She seems proud of herself. Told us how many servings,how many calories, waving the package around. She has no change in emotion or pausing like it's actually difficult to talk about. This is someone who is proud of being a fuck up.
I can’t even express how much the “beutiful” part made me laugh
I just had actual tears at that part 😅
Same 😂😂 I was ruined. The way he spelt it out too
It reminds me of the video compilations of her mispronouncing words. 😂
It must be so hard for her doctors. She never tells them the truth and blames them for everything. And she has an excuse for everything
I have to commend you for being so patient with her than I ever could be. A bad gallbladder and low carb is usually fine. I’ve been low carb for like 10 plus years. I have no gallbladder now and it’s still fine-I get most of my fat from good fat sources and not pork rinds and heavy dressings. She could eat lean proteins, veggies cook in avocado oil-would be acceptable. She wants whatever is easy. This merry go round is frustrating me and I want off.
Right and literally no one told her to "eat very high fat" when you're overweight that is not necessary in ketosis. Sure it's higher fat than your average bc now you're running on fat as fuel. But you don't HAVE to add fat when you already have body fat to burn. It's no one's problem that when someone told her to go keto, she HEARD eat very high fat. Because that's what she wanted to hear.
Props to you Angela....👏👏 she could do with taking some sensible advice like you..!❤
so funny to watch this barely 3 months later and hear her ranting and raving about how it’s just the tip of the iceberg in therapy and how binge eating is a chemical disorder and everything
magically three months later she wants to get approved for wls and she doesn’t have binge eating disorder anymore and has completely stopped seeing a therapist altogether… the cycle never stops
The fact that she still equates Keto with pork rinds tells me she never dug past the surface of what the diet is. It’s realll easy to go online and find pork rinds, and keto cereal and bread and pasta, and recipes for fat bombs and baked goodies chock full of sugar alcohols. But you need to get the “eat more veggies and healthy meat” part down before diving into the snackies.
Ugh THANK YOU
My therapist was out on medical leave for two months. She set me up with a therapist while I waited for her. It didn’t work out for me as I didn’t click with the substitute, so I ended up waiting for her to come back, but the point is that she didn’t just leave me with nothing. She had her team find a replacement therapist for me while she was gone.
I have had an experience where I ( and all other clients within my “category”) were dropped by my health clinic AND they didn’t do anything to help us find someone new to see. I just got a phone call from one of their random receptionists ( who knows which one since it is a chain of clinics) who told me that they were no longer serving the “severe” psychiatric patients-and good luck finding someone new. She was ready to hang up, but I made sure to chew her out and tell her how rude and insensitive the situation was before she did.
Then I had to find a new therapist on my own.
So while I don’t believe Amber Lynn, I do believe that people can be left hanging.
@@juliekennedy9891 Of course people can be left without someone else. That’s when you search for a replacement yourself or you ask your therapist for a recommendation.
@@juliekennedy9891 folks are just frustrated an adult who keeps saying she's advocating for her health isn't advocating for her health and finding a new or temporarily new psychologist. We all believe the psychiatrist is gone, for whatever reason. Amber's just perpetually helpless by her own choice.
@@myishenhaines1706 Agreed!!!
I was just trying to add to the conversation an anecdote of when it can happen that you have to search for someone because of a therapist not following best practices.
Because folks seem to be insisting that it is virtually impossible for a counselor to behave in this manner.
But, yes, it is your job to seek other service providers. Not all mentally ill people have the ability to be that responsible-but if they are an adult, that is still the expectation.
@@sendnoodle5 I hear you. I was more adding a voice about the fact that themcounselir can be gone without a replacement offered. If you look in the comments, no one seems to believe that is possible. And while
I have no reason to trust Amber Lynn individually, I do have a reason to believe that no group of professionals is 100% perfect.
Her three doctors are, apple iphone 12 max, Google and WebMD
Just in time for dinner! Now I won’t be eating alone! Thanks for the consistency bestie!
enjoy your dinner!
remember when she first started dating wifey and she bragged about how much support wifey gave her and how that made all the difference in her life and helped her lose weight, yet here we are. i guess it wasn’t becky’s fault then.
She said she can't count calories because it triggers her, but she weighs herself every day and tracks her food?
I've done EVERYTHING my doctors want. I just ate 1,700 calories of cookies. It's because haydurs.
LOVE her trying to tell us about how much she knows about health and how she eats so many low fat things, yes lecture me girlie
What she knows about diet, nutrition and health can fit into a 500+ lb sack of skin.
If I could laugh react I would. Thank you 😂😂😂😂
The story about Amber's therapist is surprising. I'm studying to be a counselor and you could get in a lot of trouble for not taking steps to help your clients find coverage while you're gone, as sudden absences can cause harm to clients. This is especially true for something you know in advance like maternity leave. Not saying this didn't happen to Amber, but if it's true, I would suggest she looks for a better therapist regardless!
Don't worry, her therapist is also the psychologist that is probably her psychiatrist and doesn't have her as an actual patient. She mislabels, misunderstands and misrepresents anything health related. Do not take anything she says at face value.
It's probably someone that she only saw a few times that's why. If she was in constant contact and regular sessions then they would have someone filling in that Amber would see or talk to. That's probably the real reason.
Man-this makes me feel so validated when something similar happened to me.
I was seeing a counselor at a local clinic. She went out for surgery with a long recovery period, and they connected me with one of her colleagues-but he could see me less often ( understandable since it seemed like the team was picking up her caseload and maintaining what they already had). He then cancelled the two appointments I had with him. After, I got a phone call from a receptionist who said basically, “We will not be scheduling any other appointments with you. The decision has been made at the corporate ( or something like that) level that it is just too burdensome to deal with the SEVERE psychiatric patients. You need to find someone for yourself who sees SEVERE patients.”
I started crying--mostly because I didn’t think of my mental illness as being “severe” and it made me feel so very low. I had never known that I was classified in that way-I thought that I was classified by my diagnosis. And so It just made me feel like an utter embarrassment of a human. I told her that it wasn’t cool for a random stranger to just call me and tell me that I am severely mentally ill and so my therapist was dropping me; it was just an insensitive way of doing it.
And then I had to find a new therapist on my own…….
I would bet all my money that this “psychologist” offered or tried to set up something like that (if they even exist). Doesn’t mean Amber has to go along with it which is her right, and also she has a history of taking the easy route so 🤷🏻♀️ wouldn’t be surprised if she felt no “therapy” was easier than having to spin her narrative to a new person. Total speculation, but it makes sense.
@BigBootyTrudie also the fact she STILL hasnt named one single coping mechanism she uses to avoid binging, she doesnt even use any at all.
also-- 22:00. she CAN eat just one. she CAN eat just two. she can. it's hard for her, but she can. saying "i can't do xyz" has been proven to negatively affect us, because our internal dialogues manifest as our realities.
Exactly! We really create our realities. She needs to change her mindset.
I’m sure we all know where the Keto thing is going, but I hope Zach makes a playlist of all the funeral videos he does.
Zach you have no clue how much I needed this upload, thank you so much.
hope it helps you in whatever ways you need it to! enjoy!!!
If she is in a “rage of wanting to binge and over eat” would she not just eat what is already there…if it is an uncontrollable rage? If she is in a rage and thinks about what she wants to eat, gets her phone, opens the app, scrolls until she finds something, puts in the cart, and waits for it to be delivered…is that an uncontrollable binge? Or is that poor decision making?
This comment deserves many more likes
THIS !!!!!!!!
I just had water come out my nose Zach!!!! when you said “A Rarity Cat?” 🤣🤣🤣
according to mayo clinic, gallstones in the gall bladder or bile duct are the number 1 reasons for gall bladder removal. gallstones are absolutely grounds enough to have a gall bladder removed. it could be more a matter of her weight, though. maybe the doctors she's spoken to don't want to operate on her unless she's in dire condition because it would be so hard to operate on a person her weight?
it would be. And I cannot see Amber honoring her post gallbladder surgery diet (no more greasy fast foods!). She will avoid this as long as she can.
💯--she is at SUPER high risk of complications. Anaesthesia could be fatal for her if she has untreated apnea. Most hospitals will not do gallbladder removal over 400 pounds electively (not emergency) because of the risks.
The most likely thing is that she was told “we cannot do this surgery UNLESS it’s infected (emergency) until you
Lose some weight.
They should have removed it when she had her hysterectomy-while she was. Already under and open.
It would take an immediately life threatening event for her to get any surgery in her condition. The risks are too high.
My sister had gall stones and was very overweight but she still got her gallbladder removed. It was keyhole surgery and they went up through her bellybutton
@@amandabrittenden ALR isn't just overweight she is 502 lbs at 5'2". She has undx'd apnea and other conditions that she denies, conditions she's admitted and most importantly, is a NONCOMPLIANT patient. Besides the difficulties and risks of surgery just based on her health, there's a further risk post-op is she won't adhere to the follow-up protocol.... like changing her diet or lifestyle.
It's great your sister got the care she needed.
I think it’s frustrating to watch ALR fail over and over because, at least for me, it’s a reflection of the worst parts I fear about myself. But also, if she would just stick with one thing for a significant period of time, she could be so better off. She doesn’t give anything a chance to work and it is maddening.
AL; "y'all think I'm gonna blame my new diagnosis for my weight problems? I'll show y'all! I'll blame the keto instead!"
Omg when you said "so there's 12 servings, 2 cookies per serving" I proudly said "24!"
Then you started talking about the nutritional value🤣🤣 I thought I was so smart
You ARE adding up! 😅
Omg Zach, you made me cry when you asked your friend about being a burden 😢
Sometimes I have to take breaks in this longer videos bc, while Zach is charming and very good at his job, amberlynns voice grates me.
I have an Oreo weakness, I don't buy the regular or family size packs because I know I will eat an entire row. I will buy that small cup of the mini's or the small like 6 cookie pack if I just have to have them. I always try to share them so I don't have them hanging out in my house. It's just self control. 🤷♀️
Omg! It chaps my ass to pay more than I have to, but I'll spend more/pkg for the smaller size by myself. The specialty Oreos I take to my friends' since they're too much to have at my house. Carrot cake is top tier!
@@andiward7068 the carrot cake Oreo crumbled on some vanilla ice cream... Oh my 🤤🤤
@@RecklessCeltic3 or just pop them in the freezer & dunk in milk.
Oreos are so dangerous.
@@MermaidIllustration totally agree
Yasss a long TRANSFORMATIVE video. There's no heat in my house and it's 28°F out so I'm snuggled up under blankets and watching ❤
We got a whopping 29° over here, no heat so I feel you. Hang in there aries!!
Hot water bottles are awesome too
She has a defeatist attitude. Meds, therapy, a diagnosis, a specialist, etc., are only going to do so much if you’re not actually putting in the foot work. She expects everything to passively work FOR her. When in reality, she needs to be the one work for it.
Chewy chips Ahoy is a new unlocked core memory. You are so right about the crusty one…a cookie is a cookie.
She binges.
She has no control over binging.
No diet will ever work if she permits herself to binge all the time.
it must be so depressing going through life believing you have absolutely no control and that you must succumb to the effects of any given disorder. “i can’t eat just one cookie because i have BED!” she truly believes she’s somehow the exception to every rule. everyone else can recover but she’s *special*. what a miserable way to live.
Lmao Zach's old therapist really said: "Oh, you're a burden??? Source?? 🧐🧐"
I know this video was about Amberlynn but your conversation about the feeling of being a burden has really enlighten me and I appreciate it a lot. Thank you so much ❤
Well, I'm glad those 3 professionals don't know as much as Amberlynn but she knows what works and can use some of it to make the perfect plan that will work for her.
I'm sure this will totally work. 👌
Amazing to see her just three months ago, hiding her failures behind a disorder she now alleges she never had.
Amber will willfully ignore all the constructive feedback she gets and then say “people don’t take me seriously because I’m fat.” Gorl, it gets old.
someone in her comments pointed out that the artificial sweeteners in keto iceream can cause abdominal pain and diarrhea. I think it's very plausible that she ate a pint of it and then panicked when her stomach hurt and blamed the whole diet. She's always looking for a reason to stop helping herself.
I always accidentally mistake Judy on the chair as a luxury pillow 😭🥹
I just love that we have documented footage of her saying wifey is soooo supportive and she’s going to be able to do all the things she always wanted to do bc Becky held her back and didn’t help her make good food choices and LOOK WHERE WE ARE NOW. Binging, buying 6 pints of ice cream, weight spiraling out of control. Yeah she’s seeing more doctors but telling them all a different story. Lmao so sad and delusional
What a sweet story for you to share Zachary. Thank you for sharing that. I know myself and others have felt that way A LOT. ♡
Dang this girly really tells herself what she wants to hear. She believes it then thinks we’ll go onto thinking the unknowledgeable makes sense.
Making excuses for 30 years sounds exhausting
Thank you, Zach! I’m struggling so much with my period cramps so this video (and a heating pad) help a lot
Hope you both feel better ❤❤
Hey cycle sisters
Feel better love! That's the worst
@@bhandlon 😂😂 sad but we definitely are the PMS Squad!! 😅
I feel for you 😢
Can someone explain to me why she’s buying a ball of tiny photos of toys? And then throwing them in a bin? What is going on here??
The misspelling of beautiful took me all the way out.
I did Keto for a while and it did work, but it wasn't a sustainable lifestyle for me. But it taught me I can definitely cut carbs in half and be happy. I stick to about 100-150 carbs a day, while being active, and eating mostly whole foods. It's pretty simple, if I want bread, rice, cookies I have it, and the rest of meals are low carb. It's sustainably for me and I'm down 30lbs.
This is the same fundamental misunderstanding of doctors that made her whine about being misdiagnosed. Her doctor only suggested keto in that one conversation so she thinks that's the only possible treatment. So she hasn't gone back to her doctor to discuss a different treatment plan that's better for her gallbladder because in her mind, she has to do keto or nothing. She thinks she's stuck in an impossible position but she just needs to open her mouth and communicate. As a fellow disabled person (MS), the passive types are the most frustrating to me.
when she explained why she quit ozempic a few days ago she said her dr gave her several weight loss drugs to choose from and she chose ozempic. so girl .... go back and try a different one, thats how medications work sometimes!
Just started my shift at work! Can’t wait to have Zach and Judy get me through it 🥰
Did she even tell her other doctors about her lipedema diagnosis? Probably not.
Huge props for making it through this video. It was a lot. Have an amazing weekend Zach & fam. 💜
Gallbladder pain got triggered from the fat of keto (nevermind that she didn't try to get her fat from unsaturated fat sources and nevermind that the doc probably recommended low carb and not keto), but a whole pack of full fat chocolate chip cookies didn't. Wow she needs to have a research paper written on her!
THIS.
I used to have issues with my gallbladder before they took it out. When I had a gallbladder attack, it felt like I was having a heart attack. She was saying a few weeks ago, BEFORE Keto that she was having pains in her chest but didn't for a second think it could be her gallbladder. It bothers me so much how she jumps from doctor to doctor (different types of drs) and doesn't inform the new Dr problems the old Dr mentioned. This way, she gets aaaallll kinds of new diagnoses and then says she was misdiagnosed by the Dr that didn't have all of the info. It pisses me off that she's either too dense to see that or she is a pathological liar and doesn't care who knows it.
Thanks for the reaction, bestie. I needed it today. The stuff about not taking out her gallbladder because it's not infected is bs. If she has a history of gallstones and pain from them they would absolutely take it out. I know many people that have had theirs out because of it. I have stones myself. Also "I can't blame myself for this"... I'm sorry but there's no one to blame for the whole box of chips ahoy but you. We all make choices.
Agreed. Gallbladders come out most often for the stones, not infection.
I was thinking the same thing. It’s actually a pretty common and not invasive procedure. Maybe at her weight there are risks but clearly there is a justification for removing it. She is at least 300 pounds overweight. Her life is in jeopardy if she doesn’t lose weight.
@@emma2370 I feel like the doctors would deem it worth it to remove if it enables her to be on medications like Ozempic and follow a ketogenic diet
You know who also did the whole “writing everything I eat down and do intuitive eating” thing over and over again? Me when I was in the worst phase of my BED (that turned into bulimia later) and also in horrible denial. But yeah sure just do that again and again amber, I’m sure it will work just great.
Thank you for trying, with kindness, and for keeping it real. The difference in the way you address her and Chantal is genuine.
you sharing about that convo with your friend was so sweet 🥲i've been going through IT and i finally opened up to one of my friends... turns out we'd been going through almost exactly the same thing. the little voice in our head is often a lah
It's so sad to hear her talk about how basically everything in her life will be sooo perfect once she loses weight. I thought that way for years, and it was not until I realized that it needs to happen the other way around that I finally turned the shitshow that was my life around. I hope she comes to that realization too one day, and that she does it before it's too late.
She is never going to change. She needs inpatient care where she is medically monitored and helped with her calories and exercise. I doubt that will ever happen though. Have a good weekend folks
I just want to add that I’m very happy that all of us human beans can come together just to love Zachary as much as we do
Yes!! My therapist hits me with the "do you have evidence of that" or "why do you think that's true" and it blew my mind
I suffered with bulimia and binging for 20 years and was only able to stop binging when I genuinely quit trying to lose weight and stopped focusing on it all together. I never believed it cause it terrified me (the thought of possibly gaining weight) but it worked and I’m free, I never thought it would happen.
(TW - EDs) I had a very similar experience when I was younger. I was never formally diagnosed with anything, but I would go for days without eating and then probably eat more than enough for the days I'd skipped. It's really, really sad looking back on it, but I recovered through a similar thought process to you. Hope that you're doing better now!
Same! I had an ed (first restricting, then bingeing) when I was younger. I got better over the years but never fully recovered (I've never received professional help for a plethora of reasons). Only when I stopped trying to lose weight, I was finally able to heal my relationship with food. For the first time in forever I am not consumed by thoughts about what/how/when/how much I am eating. It's incredible freeing.
I understand that Amberlynn has to lose weight for health reasons. But - and this has been repeated over and over again - she needs to get her BED under control first.
ZACHARY, I also used to eat the Chewy Chips Ahoy as a kid and THEY SLAP. When I’m feeling especially down, I buy a package of those bad boys!
If Jade actually loved her, she would tell her she needs to check herself into a place for treatment for 90 days or whatever, or she is leaving.
Thank you for all your consistent content ❤ You make everyday a little bit better for me!
This situation of hers may be alleviated if she allows her doctors to talk to each other. I feel like especially the lipedema specialists would look at overall doctor records
it is so funny how fast she changes up the story. when she still has hope for keto, she LOVES IT and she thinks she's finally found the thing that will work. but when it doesn't magically fix her, she "always knew it was a bad idea." crazy how that energy changes
