If my memory serves me correctly, everything she binged on were the items that she and wipey showed themselves shopping for. In what world would the two of them think that bringing home all those snacks and junk food would not result in Amber consuming all of it pretty much immediately? It’s almost like the “most supportive girlfriend ever” doesn’t know her at all. 🙄
And her proof of wifey stopping her to eat more did not age well
Yes!
Remember how elated our gorl was in the nut section?
"I want this, and this, andthisandthisandthisandthisandthis!" Giggle giggle, jump up and down.
She 100% knew she was gonna kill that shit as soon as Jade closed her eyes.
Then, back at Wommart the night after she ate it all, buying cookie cakes and chocolate bars.
I literally thought the same! It's COMPLETE BS when she buys these things and says she's going to portion them out!
Exactly, I knew that all of those snacks would cause a binge.
Am I the only person bothered that they went into Walmart 30 mins before they close and are walking around filming and smelling candles and touching everything? Like if you go into a store 30 mins before closing have a list get your crap and get out! 😂
Having worked in retail in the past, THANK YOU!
Working retail, YES?!
I've worked in retail (unfortunately. It wasn't a very pleasant experience. Especially the kind of person I am. I just DO NOT have the patience for most people. Because most people are dumb and rude.) and I HATED people like Amber than come in like 10 minutes before closing and screw all this stuff up that you just organized or cleaned up. Also worked in fast food. That's also a tough job! People get SO MAD if you get something wrong or don't get their food fast enough!
Her idea of intuitive eating is basically: whatever I crave I should just eat
But intuitive eating is: assessing the urge to eat, is it proper hunger or just a craving of habit? What does your body need right now? Etc.
Sad to see her completely get it wrong...
I feel like this isn't talked about enough.
A fantastic point. Intuitive eating done healthily is being mindful about what we put in our bodies (which can of course look different on different days). This girl needs inpatient therapy, not un-guided “intuitive eating”. I don’t think she will survive this. Any night could be her last. It’s such a shame
It’s because she truly doesn’t research before going into anything, she believes she is capable of handling everything on her own which (and this isn’t condescending at all, most people do need help when it comes to healthy weight loss/gain) is evidently not the case. Hopefully her psychologist can help guide her correctly
I’m glad I came across this comment because I didn’t know.
Intuitive eating is not for people with eating disorders. It’s another beast that you fall into without therapy and healing first.
At least her response to the fluctuation question explains SO MUCH about her thought process and how she still DOES NOT GET IT.
U guys she has the brain of a dietitian
I mean she's lost like 80 some lbs already 😆
Yeah, like it confirmed my theory about how short term she thinks. In my “weight loss journey” I didn’t consider something a true loss until a month has passed and my weight hadn’t fluctuated back beyond that point.
She really still thinks what she does in one day will show on the scale the next 🤯
@@AChickandaDuck there's this clip of her (I forgot what video tbh) that she says on camera "wow Amberlynn, I can see you losing weight tomorrow or next week" which now makes sense
The fact that she knows she left a serving of peanuts means she was very aware of what was going on.
it's almost like she uses BED as a means to binge without feeling like she can be criticised for it...
Brilliant comment!
LiarLynn says it’s like an out of body experience when she binges. Then turns around and admits (in a video forever ago) to planning a binge and shopping for an upcoming binge. Gorl just likes overeating and is addicted to food. She uses BED as an excuse.
@@spitfire3984 She uses her mental health for everything too
YES EFFING FINALLY!! THANK YOU couldn't have said it better myself.🤔🤷🏻♀️@@wormfarmer420
“BABYYY which eye do you like better??”
Wifey’s brain: “If I say eyelashes, she’ll get offended that I don’t like her natural beauty as much. If I say her natural eye, she’ll get mad that she spends time doing her makeup to look extra nice.”
Wifey’s mouth: “both.”
LOL
So true. 😂
Or as Amber would say "bolth" lmfao
@@hwoods-kg1jf actually it's not Just Amber. I believe that in California more people do say bolth. If you know Bailey Sarian, she says it too.
My theory is that she and wifey had a disagreement of some sort, ALR binges in response, cries/writes wifey a letter apologising, hence the "its a new day" for both of us. She is leaving out half the story me thinks.
Agree. Do you remember when she was drunk or pretending to be and saying stuff like "I am single"? Wifey was in the background and she said "babe" in a very tired-of-your-bs tone. People were speculating that she was saying that because Wifey has another partner but I believe that it was because they had a disagreement and that was ALR's way to retaliate. "If you don't do what I say I will harm myself by drinking/eating and I will blame you". I have lived with a narc, they do stuff like that.
Yup I agree. I think she’s also using her binges as emotional blackmail at this point.
Look what you made me do! But ofc without actually saying that
"but fuck, I regret it so much" has "fuck this is SO RAW" energy. get out the way she's being RILL y'all.
Didn't she claim her therapist advised her to go online and apologize to this Nader character??? Way to deflect any blame for 'future' fallout. I'm surprised she hasn't mentioned that it was all her therapist's fault.
I’m in CBT for binge eating, and they explicitly told me do NOT count calories. I’m currently at the stage where I’m just trying to eat 3 meals per day, with snacks if I’m hungry. I’ve noticed that if I don’t have breakfast one day, I’ll probably over eat in the evening. It’s very eye opening. I look forward to the day that I can start actively losing weight but for now I’m chilling
I'm so proud of you! Recovery is hard but definitely worth the effort. I'm rooting for you Amy!
Best of luck!
I dont even do anything anymore except for wait for Zach notifications
Pretty much the same over here 😉
🙌🏻 sameeeee
Me too ❤️❤️
Same here
In my brain, I'm wondering if she kept all of the binge trash to show wifey what happens when she tries to sleep when AmberLynn wants to stay awake and watch muckbangs until 6 a.m.
Yeah, I think there's an aspect of control behind it. Amber weaponizes her binges to make people feel guilty for not revolving around her for two hours 🙄
yesss, like why’d she save “a single serving” of the peanuts for wifey? why even mention that? idk their thing is so weird
@@charlene9489 You definitely saw that with Becky, the terror in Becky's eyes sometimes when Amber talked about the "binge monster", making them drive her to get takeaway when they were zombied out on meds
This is why she should be inpatient
I think she's also trying to "prove" to us that she binges instead of just chronically overeating. Cuz I still don't think she binges I think she just eats a lot and eats whatever she wants
I do understand her from an alcoholic view. I have had my fair share of struggles with alcohol, and when she described knowing she shouldn’t and didn’t want to but did, I relate to that. She definitely needs to find a support group that can help her sort out her feelings and not rely on food for it. It’s all about wanting help and change within.
I have been sober from alcohol for 26 years, and in recovery for food addiction for 5 years, it is hard, no matter the addiction.
100%. People seem to forget that ALR has an addiction, and how she does things make sense when you view her behaviour through that lens. It is very challenging to overcome an addiction, and remain in recovery, and peklle seem to forget this. There is so little empathy for ALR in this regard. She does do and say some shady things, but I never fault her for her eating. Even the threat of potential death doesn't matter to someone with an addiction, and unless the audience has experienced this for themselves or supported someone who has, they really have zero idea. It must be even harder for ALR because she can't just cut her addiction out cold turkey... because it's food. She *has to* eat to not die, and needs to grocery shop. She certainly needs to start her recovery in rehab - she needs serious intervention. And while she's in, she needs someone to go through her house and remove anything she might binge. And then because she has the money she could pay a personal shopper to get her food for her so she isn't tempted in the grocery store, and they are shopping with a set list. And possibly have someone helping her cook and portion at home. And yes, a support group and continual therapy pretty much forever.
Substance(s) (or activity) can trigger the disease of addiction but the substance is less relevant to recovery than the surrounding behaviors. Endorphins are powerful.
The problem is that she has not only a food addiction, she has other mental disorders which she doesn’t address.
My background is in psychology and there is no doubt in my mind that Amber has narcissistic personality disorder. Every interaction, her thoughts and the repetitive developments of her relationships - from real ones over exaggerated ones to even her lies, show that she matches the diagnoses criteria very well.
So she isn’t just dealing with an addiction, she has a disorder which doesn’t make it easy to accept help because she created this protective shield where nobody is more worthy than her, nobody is as „good“ as she is, because if they were, the things she experienced would hurt even more.
Do I feel empathy? Absolutely. For many reasons, including that I had binge eating disorder myself, that I was morbidly obese and lost all the weight with the help of a bariatric surgery and therapy. I‘ve led a support group together with my ex. I know from my own experiences, from studying psychology and from seeing so many people struggle, fight and having to continue to fight for the rest of their lives.
But on the other hand, she is not ready to really get help. I am not even sure the alleged therapist exists in the exact way she talks about them, the recommendations make no sense and many other aspects neither. Either she isn’t honest with the therapist or with herself or with us - or all of the above. Just take the „intuitive eating“ part, no therapist would recommend this for a patient with binge eating disorder. Food addiction? Absolutely. But not for binge eating disorder and especially not if no other mental disorder weren’t addressed at the same time.
And quite honestly, it is frustrating to watch her, even with the experiences I have. Which is the reason why I can only sporadically check in on her. Different girlfriend, different apartment, same behavior. There hasn’t been one day where she really made a step forwards. She doesn’t try anything long enough to see if it would work. Self-sabotaging behavior is real and we see it in every video (like she buys snacking food although she KNOWS it triggers her binges. She watches mukbongs although she knows they trigger binges. She teases events in her life and is upset when people speculate which triggers her binges because she can’t deal with the lack of support. She puts wifey on UA-cam on a pedestal as „the most supportive GF ever when wifey encourages her to eat unhealthy.). Amber isn’t ready and she isn’t honest with herself about it. Which is part of the struggle.
I am usually an extremely positive person, I‘ve been through a lot myself (including trauma, a paraplegia and a long list of rare diseases) and I often say that anybody can achieve anything if they want to, I‘m the best example to that and I am in no way special. I don’t know if Amber will ever want true change. Or that she could ever overcome her NPD enough to truly accept professionals opinions and recommendations. I can feel empathy for her and still be critical. I can feel empathy for her emotions and struggles and call her out on having binge food at home or misusing intuitive eating for eating unhealthy because she leaves the important part of reflection and change of direction out. Intuitive eating doesn’t mean that she can eat what she wants in quantities she wants. But she makes it seem like that to have excuses for when she gains weight or binges.
I'm a 30 year smoker. I understand how ALR feels. But I can still do things physically. I imagine if I couldn't it might be some motivation to quit.
And yes, I've tried Welbutrin (twice), acupuncture, vaping, the gum. Nicotine is a b'tch.
For someone who’s always bent about ppl shaming her she surely is judgmental af about what people do in public … the anecdote abt the ppl making out at the park is giving “there’s a group a girls taking a pic in front of a rock wall” 😭😭😭
she was probably upset cause they’re assuredly straight couple but if they were girls she would probably be saying it so excitedly
When she started this "I'm going to lose 100 pounds" and by that I mean 14 pounds...
This made me laugh. 😆
Haha that has been my favorite part of this series.
That was....definitely remarkable.
Remember y’all, this is 30 minutes Amber doesn’t find entertaining or enjoyable because she has admitted many times she wouldn’t watch her own videos as she finds them boring
Her binge regret makes me feel so sad for her. But we knew when she did that snack taste test once those bags were opened it was all over. I don't keep that stuff in the house because one is too many and a thousand is never enough. Amberlynn is a food addict.
As someone who is in recovery for 8 years of drug abuse, I feel that deeply. It’s the same thing. Only difference is you have to have food to live. Luckily I don’t have to do drugs to survive.
I see a lot of the same patterns and excuses in Amber that I experienced and also listened to when I sat in recovery groups. I hope for her sake she’s able to beat these demons.
@@DetroitDanielle Agree, in September I will have 15 years clean and sober. She has to eat, but she doesn't have to eat junk food. The same way I have to drink, but I choose water over vodka.
I never buy a pkg of cookies - at most it would last two days. I gained some of my weight trying to keep snacks around for my great grandson- he is four, takes a couple of bites and I eat the rest 😟
I thought exactly the same thing when I saw those snacks.
I'm in the end-stages of recovery for a restrictive eating disorder. Amberlynn restricting herself & counting calories is about as conducive to her recovery as going to the gym instead of counting calories in the beginning of anorexia recovery. she's setting herself up to fail so she can say nothing works for her, so she never has to get better.
I deal with binge eating and a major tip that helps me is to NOT have any of my "trigger" foods around me. Its like an alcoholic keeping bottles of Jack Daniels around them. Until you get better control over your eating impulses, its best to keep it away from you.
She thinks “intuitive eating” is eating what she’s craving. Intuition does not equal cravings.
I get so excited when I see you post long videos, I hope it's fun and not too draining for you!
it's usually fun, today was a little draining but it's chill
@@ZacharyMichael
We appreciate you ✨
Same!! I actually hadn’t noticed the length of this video until I read your comment! So thanks for that, bestie!!
As someone who used to struggle with binge eating, I understand how it feels and where Amber is coming from while talking about it. I always felt so out of control and couldn’t stop it. I would drive to Walmart just to buy whole bags of chips and Oreos to binge on. It didn’t matter what I kept in the house. From my experience, the calorie tracking and restricting calories always lead to binges. I’m not a doctor but it’s pretty clear that ALR trying to track everything she eats and stay under 2,000 calories per day at her size is not helping. She may say she’s eating “intuitively” but still seems like she’s mentally still trying to track and isn’t eating enough to prevent binges. Thankfully I haven’t had an actual binge in years now and can maintain my weight since I stopped restricting so hard.
Honestly at her point in life she should seriously be considering inpatient care. She needs to restrict, her weight is critical. She is suffering, but she can't do it alone. She needs daily therapy and someone else to control the food decisions for awhile.
What I find incredibly problematic as well is that she only THINKS she's consuming under 2000cals/day when actually it's 3000-4000 (just going by what she actually shows on camera). So she's just screwing herself over twice.
@@interwaveswatcher1576 Yup. Or at least PHP (partial hospitalization). That shit was life-saving for me and I was less intimidated because I got to go home still at the end of the day.
Is it just me or does the advice "not having certain foods in the house" promote dissordered thinking and eating? As dar as I know fears of certain foods or restriction on them is what can trigger a binge or other dissordered eating. People are advising this probably from a good place but I think it's more harmful than helpful. What do you think about that?
@@jozina1 YES. In ED treatment, they encouraged us to gradually add our trigger foods into our lives. Avoidance and restriction will lead to a binge.
HOWEVER, I wouldn't advise it without professional guidance from a dietitian and a therapist. They usually don't ask you to do this unless you have a meal plan and are sticking to it. The meal plan is what keeps you from restricting to "make up for" a binge or trying to lose weight. Most plans for ED treatment involve eating 6x a day.
thankful to have you as an ALR buffer, making this content genuinely entertaining. love you bestie 💝💝
The next step would be to implement coping skills/strategies. You have identified the feeling and are aware of what your action will be (binging) it is her job now as someone in "recovery" to implement alternative behaviors such as maybe calling a friend, taking a walk, coloring, read a book..anything to distract yourself from binging. It takes work and she has to be willing to put the time and effort into it.
@@dblyw7443 She either isn't in therapy like she says, or is not applying what is learned to her real life away from her therapist.
She needs serious work on distress and discomfort tolerance skills with a qualified therapist.
Why does she even buy and bring that junk into her house if she really wants to lose weight? It really does not make sense. She should be smart enough to know that she doesn’t need that junk food in her house. Every thing that she has listed is empty calories.
making banana bread and i needed something to watch. 19 seconds ago this is a blessing thank you zach
Amberlynn needs a legitimate hobby, job, volunteering, SOMETHING to keep her busy and distracted from thinking about food.
She’s sat there eating takeaways for 5 days, counting calories with estimates not weighing anything out and also it’s ONLY BEEN 5 DAYS. It makes sense she’s never travelled far because she doesn’t know a journey can be a long time. Be in a consistent calorie deficit with exercise and movement for 6 months, then let’s see where she is.
Getting back from a 5.5 mile walk/jog and a good meal, I’m ready to watch this. Trying not to be too hard on myself about food guilt/not eating the best today.
Life is about balance, Internet friend. The 5.5mile walk may not resolve the guilt, but I know that future you would be so proud of you for moving your body intentionally.
Tomorrow is another day to try it all again. Sending you lots of 💜 light
Girl, you did your thang today!
5 and a half mile walk/jog?? Bestie, I just did a 2.5 mile walk and decided to treat myself to some choccy bar. I’m so proud of you for moving and nourishing your body!
Shut up.
damn 5.5 miles of anything is *way* more than i’m ever able to do, good job! and remember, a little indulgence is alright in life :)
As a former binge eater, I would unfortunately go a time without binging, think I was "all better", then go to the store and get a bunch of snacks and binge triggering foods. Then I would binge on them. And this would happen time after time after time. Binge eating disorder is a BITCH. As problematic as Amberlynn is, I feel for her in this moment.
Issues I have her in this video and in many others she's made, is that, she said seeing a bag of chips triggered her binge but then she puts together a thirty minute video of junk food. I'd be worried that parading that in front of myself for the video, and the again for the editing process would trigger a binge. But go off anything for a videoni guess.
She spends SO many hours a day watching food-related youtube channels, too.
Not cooking channels, or Kitchen Nightmares, but just people EATING food.
I’m not an Amberlynn defender by any means but when I’ve had an panic attack or a period of intense mental distress, I get really persnickety, anxious, and fixated on small BS because of the shame and anxiety of what just happened. So her like obsession with the trash and peanuts can actually makes sense to me.
ALSO, just had my gallbladder out!!! People CAN live with gallstones but it’s painful and gets activated when you eat high-fat.
idk, when she was doing it it read more like a she-knows-her-feeder-fans-like-it kinda thing. like she wants everyone to have a visual of how /much/ she binged. but i don’t really know anything lol
@@abbyz13 I guess you’re right, like she was trying to “prove” how bad the binge had been? I just personally have felt those obsessive perfectionist tendencies that can be distressing when I’ve been vulnerable and thought I’d add my comment is all.
@Jack Fr💀
That would make sense, especially since she was diagnosis with obsessive compulsive personality disorder a few years ago. Imo, most of the lolzcows people watch are mainly fueled by mental illness that’s either untreated or they haven’t gotten under control yet. Not saying it gives them a pass because it definitely doesn’t, but a lot of people act like they have all these elaborate plans to be as shitty as possible.
@Jack me when the gallbladder be cringe af
When I had gallstones, it hurt worse than giving birth - and I’ve done that twice : /
It was so bad that when I got to the a&e (U.K. fan!), they scheduled me in for surgery that same day
Edit to add: gallstones may happen more frequently in obese people, however I am 68kg (150 lbs) at 5’8 and eat normally - healthy & some unhealthy foods; so it’s not a unique condition to overweight people. If you get them - head to your Dr; don’t suffer that kind of pain for any reason!
i have a friend who had to have her gallbladder taken out a few months ago and she's not overweight. i believe she has a family history of gallbladder problems. and me, i'm not overweight yet was diagnosed with diabetes a few weeks ago (and i'm fairly young for it too: 36) but apparently my grandpa was my age when he was diagnosed and his father had it too. yes you should take care of your body but sometimes family history just really effs you over :(
Just had mine out last month! Pain was unbearable. I feel so much better now!
Yes! Mine was emergency surgery too! The pain is unrivaled. I'd rather give birth 10 times then have a gallbladder attack. 😬
Unfortunately, Amber is too large for surgery right now.
I had them for about a year because the doctor misdiagnosed me and said it was just acid reflux. I wasn't obese but I was about 20 pounds overweight. Then one day the pain wasn't going away and I went to the ER and within two days my gallbladder was removed.
Zach, you should know by now that Amber knows better than the professionals she sees. She will always pick and choose what is the right way... it's ALR outpatient care HER WAY
Her voice in this video reminds me of the voice people use when they call in sick to work.
i’ve felt blessed bc everyone i follow posts long reactions bc of her long videos, but i feel bad y’all have to watch a solid half an hour lol
"My girlfriend is going to cut the onion for me because I don't want my hands to smell like onion 🤭" *grabs chopped raw onion with her hands*
The use of the word “possession” sounds exactly like the term “binge monster”. Disassociating herself from her own ED behavior & regular overeating habits. Accountability _(realizing you AREN’T helpless to your disorder)_ can be a critical part of the BED recovery process ALR. I’ve been through it
If you are elderly/ high risk, they make you live with your gallstones. I have heard that when you are big, sometimes the keyhole surgery fails - they can't take your gallbladder out and you are stuck with it for longer/life.
The last thing Amber should be eating is nuts. It is too late for her to adopt nuts into a healthy eating plan - they are just too high in fat. The same goes for oily fish and that little bit of oil she now uses for cooking.
Gallstones/gallbladder issues can be as serious as cancer. Amber has to lose weight for gallbladder surgery for any chance of success. The skin needs some give in order for it to be blown up like a balloon so the surgeon can see what they are doing without compromising skin integrity (Exploding) and losing weight reduces the size of the liver to make surgery easier. Also why they get you to lose weight before WLS.
Her constant cellulitis infections might be a sign that the gallbladder is also inflamed. (Mine was gangrenous and the only symptom I had was recurring infection showing in the neck lymph nodes)
Losing weight is becoming a priority if she wants to keep doing shopping hauls and hiding wifey from the camera.
I’ve never heard that. The pain is beyond awful and I can’t imagine even the toughest doctor telling you to just suck it up
@@india1422 They try to make sure you eat so as not to aggravate. When you are 70+ and obese / frail - last resort is surgery. Most people stick to food that doesn't cause issues - it is hard but possible. I knew someone whose daughter in her 40's was overweight, had a heart attack on the table and only lived a few weeks afterward gallbladder surgery - the risk of death is real.
I feel for Amber, she has a tough choice ahead of her.
@@india1422 I knew a lady who had gallstones for years. Every time she would get an attack, she would go to the ER and they would give her painkillers and then send her home. As far as I know she never got them removed. She was overweight but not horribly. I think it was her decision not to have them removed. When I had them when I was around 20, I really didn't have much choice because it got to a point where I could not eat anything without having a gallbladder attack. I guess every case is different
Why no nuts? Fat keeps you full and if a handful of nuts keeps her from eating an extra meal later it's worth it. Fats aren't bad, it's all about balance.
@@gwenmason80 healthy fats are still fats. Sure they are healthier but if you are the weight of Amberlynn it’s just bad for you. You don’t need the extra calories.
the asian granny in me is weeping at the "kung pao chicken" recipe. i could actually tolerate what she was doing(considering she's...well...amber) up until the sriracha sauce. what a sacrilegious ending to an already botched dish.
Wait.. please explain why the sriracha is bad on this meal 😭
@@tailorj1756 it kinda feels like you're spraying some mayo over tomato pasta. like oookay why not... but why? you just dont do that, it doesnt feel right. also if you did it right you wouldnt need the extra sauce at the end.
it makes me so frustrated that she thinks she’s doing everything right 😭😭 i want to scream she’s doing almost nothing right
"mukbangs don't trigger me"
"A video of a bag of chips triggered me"
🤦🏻♀️
She’s not binging… what she showed is not a binge it’s overeating, most likely because she hasn’t eaten anything sustainable or substancial for someone her size.
She’s trying to eat such low calorie that her body will force her to overeat and she also is a food addict so she’s not going to choose the healthy option at the end of the night when her body is craving nutrients
I still don’t understand why Amber bothers with therapy when she doesn’t listen to the advice the therapist gives?? Like why would you be paying someone nearly $200 an hour to NOT do what they say 😭💀
I watched a lot of 'food diaries' of several binge eating channels last year, mainly because of morbid curiosity but I was also struggling with ARFID. I noticed that most of them will stock up on their binge foods or order takeout, and some of them even plan their binge after holding back for a week or two. The difference between them and Amber is that what she eats on a daily basis is high sodium empty calories junk and takeouts. Binge eating is one of her problems but her lifestyle is the main one.
Maybe it’s just me being insensitive, but I highly doubt her body has gone through such a drastic change in the past week or two, for her to have such a huge reaction towards a binge. Also she definitely gave big “Let’s do a haul!” vibes when she showing her trash
I'm getting weight loss surgery soon, and if she were in my program, they would not approve her if she keeps doing the "the doctor said this, but I know my body so I'm gonna do this". I know all programs are different, but for the sake of her safety during surgery and success afterward, she REALLY needs to get on board with the professionals if she goes down that path.
Good luck with your surgery.
To a decent Dr she would not be a candidate until after alot of rel therapy but she won't get help and think she's smart er then anyone unfortunately she may find one who will have her sign a waiver and won't care as long as she can pay
I will never get over how often she says she eats things because they're "super quick and super easy" and it STILL hasn't occurred to her that maybe that's NOT a good thing. She needs to make food hard and time consuming and she'll have no choice but to eat less because there are only so many hours in a day! Stuff that can come out of the fridge/freezer/cupboard and into her stomach within 20 minutes should be completely off limits while shopping. No short cuts.
Like I don't really have any eating issues but I wanted to be more toned and stronger. So, I eat everything I've got in the house before I go buy food again, today I ran out of coffee. I walked to the grocery store, bought $125 worth of groceries, and then carried them home. It takes 1 hour, I walk really fast, and I don't hang out in aisles checking out the new stuff. I can only buy what I can carry, I get punished for over consumption by having to struggle with my bags.
I get 80% fresh foods that I actually need like fruit, veg, meat, eggs, milk, and then the rest are staples. My junk food is stuff like cereal. I get one bag of hot Cheetos and one pint of ice cream a month. I can't justify carrying junk food that isn't going to benefit me in any way, I gotta stick to nutritional basics.
The hour long walk and heavy bags 2-3x a month is a great work out. I know she can't do that but she can surely do something like that to make things harder.
She desperately needs to become familiar with the rush you get from accomplishing a challenge you set for yourself. She has no idea that she could feel true happiness with herself if she'd just be willing to be uncomfortable. Idk how she can live the way she does. I might have extensive PTSD, permanent injuries, and a life story that is beyond belief and wasn't always happy but at least I've lived. Maybe a bit too much but if I had to choose between my way and hers, it would be my way, everyday of the week. I've crossed oceans alone. She's never left her house by herself.
Zach being like "I don't want to. I don't want to." with regards to Wifey's mug made me laugh so hard.
Just show wifey already for real 🤷♀️
Holding on to the trash helps visualize what was actually eaten because in a binge it can be a blur. I also think sometimes that keeping stuff in the house is still better than ordering out. It’s kind of a win for someone who struggles with that to not order out because comparatively the calories/fat/etc is so much worse with fast food. But I think it’s really cool that you’re listening and trying to understand. I agree that she might not get much out of posting all of this instead of sharing with a professional.
Am i the only one who is remembering that she got something similar to a " vibro legs elliptical" leg trainer for Christmas??? We never saw that again and I'm pretty sure if she would actually use that it would help her at least reaching her step goal. I myself am physically disabled, have to use a wheelchair... and got a leg trainer like that. Because when i saw she had it i was like " wait if she can lose weight using that maybe i can too?!" And for me it really works i almost daily do double the steps required and see positive changes and weight loss!
Expensive? Name of it?
@@lindaallen8800 name is in the comment☺️
@@lindaallen8800 got it from the online shop with the smiling boxes 😉😉
I remember that gift as well and nope we haven't seen it since. As you said it would have been a big help for her to use it. Great job doing double steps!
@@moongloomable thank you ☺️
What?? Did she grab that raw cut onion that she just can’t touch, to go into the skillet??? Something isn’t adding up here!
Someone who is "activity" trying to lose weight, isn't sitting around eating cups of salt noodles
Ok??!! 😂🤦🏼♀️
This comment is not the move.
She complains about water weight and all she eats is sodium.
Bruh…
There’s literally an entire diagnosis (bulimia) for people who try desperately to lose weight but simultaneously struggle with the urge to binge. Someone with an ED may eat a shitton of calories in one moment of weakness, that doesn’t mean they’re not spending the rest of their time depriving themself of calories in an effort to lose weight.
Obviously this isn’t the case with ALR, but it’s just ignorant to state that someone can’t binge on ramen while actually wanting/trying to lose weight.
@@KaylaMarie_ Americans don't have access or education to healty filling foods. Ever wonder why we have a obesity and food insecurity crisis at the same time. Its because the food impoverished families and childern are raised on are high in fat, calories, sodium and fillers but no nutrition. I say all this to say: ALR was raised on sodium high packaged food and it's hard for her to change her entire life perspective now that she has money. But if you wanna sit on the internet and fatshame people, make fun of mental disorders and be a close minded ugly person- go off. But maybe you should take a deep inner look into systematic american issues that affect it's citizen's in everyday ways and problems before you just blame every fat american for eating american foods.
w addiction it moves from a thought, to a craving, to a trigger, to then doing the behavior. her working backwards like that and logging it is gonna hopefully help her identify the warning signs in her thoughts so she can find some ways to cope or distract herself from binging
She woke up feeling sick and felt sick all day but managed to eat turkey burger then chicken stir fry???? They can't do anything about her gallstones because of her size I assume though they could have removed her gallbladder when she had her hysterectomy. Why does she keep foods in the house that trigger binges and are also not the types of foods someone trying to loose weight would keep in the house??? She really doesn't help herself.
I’ve been waiting for this reaction! Thanks Zach!! 😊🤍
As much as Amber frustrates me, her "All it took was seeing a bag of chips" comment really hit home for me. I've been recovering from my restrictive ED for a few years, but I still get slightly panicky whenever I see the calorie count on the front of a package of food. Thankfully, most days I can stop my thoughts from looping around my calorie intake for the day and stop myself from adding up my intake. On the bad days, I add it up but also can understand that I need those calories (I logically know 1300 is healthy for me, a 5'2 female, but my ED part of my brain hates that I'm over 1000 cals). I'm positive it'll always be a struggle, but at least I'm not overexercising anymore, obsessively counting calories every day, and I'm no longer so dizzy every time I stand up that I almost fall over.
If you've read this far and struggle with an ED, don't worry. It doesn't have to be this way forever and we can escape this hell to live in a world where numbers don't matter ❤️ We are worth more than the number on the scale.
You can do this. Kick that ED in the ass!
An unvaccinated boomer at my office came in sick and didn’t take a COVID test for THREE GODDAMN DAYS! 4 of us are now out with COVID, including meeeee.
I feel like absolute ass and I’m pissed. I’m glad to have a long video to listen to while I guzzle cough medicine and play Stardew Valley ✌🏻
oh jeez, I'm so sorry
@@Feynix4 thank you ❤️ it sucks for sure but I’m glad it’s not worse. I’m double vaxxed so maybe that helped
Oof! Hope your symptoms aren't too bad. Thankfully you are double vaxxed!
Why some people think spreading germs is okay will always baffle me!?!?
Sorry you have such a dumb co worker!!
So calling her an “unvaccinated boomer” was to insult your coworker? I take it that you are vaccinated but are also sick with Covid? I’m trying to understand, please help lol
@@leorising8074 First of all, it’s a he. Second of all, he was sick and didn’t get tested which put everyone at risk. Third of all, being vaccinated doesn’t prevent you from getting COVID, just like getting the flu shot doesn’t mean you’ll never get the flu. It lessens symptoms if you DO get it. Maybe do some research. 4th of all, I never insulted this person to his face, which he deserves, I stated facts of what he did which put the whole office at risk. You don’t know him so what does it matter. So…any more questions?
Starting the week off right with ZM & JUDY 💜
Gallbladder removal is done via laparoscopic surgery. I had my gallbladder removed after my gastric bypass and I was still fat. If you're experiencing pain and nausea like Amberlynn a good doctor would definitely perform the surgery on her, no matter how much she weighs. The problem is that she doesn't have medical insurance. I am assuming that is the case because she said she is paying for her therapy out of pocket. She should definitely get health insurance and Kentucky is a state that is on the ACA marketplace. Whatever the monthly premium is I am sure it's less than her monthly Door Dash bill.
I have questions.
Why didn’t Amber wake Wifey while she cried and desperately binged all the junk food in the pantry? I thought Wifey is the BEST SUPPORT Amber has ever had?
Also, why wouldn’t Wifey stop Amber from filling the pantry with junk food to begin with??
Maybe wife was out with other friends/partners? It seems weird that she didn't wake her up if she really was there...
I have issues with binge eating..and had chronic gallbladder disease(unknowingly) and when I was having attacks I was TERRIFIED to eat. So, the fact that her gallstones “hurt” is just odd. The pain was unbearable.I mean, I pretty much wasn’t okay until I had my gallbladder removed. Gorlfran can’t make it make sense.
She definitely needs help. When I was pregnant I got gallstones. If I ate anything fatty or greasy I had horrible pain, vomiting, sweating, feels like a heart attack, can't breathe right. The only pain relief was 0xyc0don3. If she's putting herself through that she is nuts. I wouldn't wish that pain on anyone. I did get my gallbladder removed and I feel great now.
I had gallstones too. it was painful.
Here after your stream!!! Love you Zach!
thanks for watching the stream and this!
Amber thinks her theparist is on speed dial or something..Does Amber think her LATEST theparist is her only client as if others out there besides Amber dont needs extra help besides her at the moment of whatever.
When I had my gallbladder removed, it was a disaster. I was having pains for a few months, ignored it thinking I just kept getting a stomach bug. Well that came back to bite me in the ass. Eventually one day I collapsed on the bathroom floor, thankfully my mom was over at my house. She called 911 I was rushed by ambulance to hospital. Once I got there they tried saying I had PID (pelvic inflammatory disease). I kept telling them that was NOT the area that was messed up, so they did a CT Scan. They saw I had gallstones that were blocking my liver, kicking everything back into it causing me to become jaundice and potentially turn into liver failure. They had to first remove the massive gallstone blocking my liver, then wait 24 hrs to see if levels went back to normal before they could remove the gallbladder. I was in the hospital 5 days. Moral of the story Amberlynn, don’t ignore this. It can become very dangerous.
Had the worst day at work so seeing a video from Zach pop up was needed... THANK YOU ZACH!!! Hey Judy girl!
“The Amberlynn Reid of it all” is a phrase I will start saying
let's hope her next series will focus on half of every meal being raw vegetables
She cut that broccoli in to a non serving
Girl, I hope youre still watching Amber and realize your powers. The way you predicted the veggie/mustard/cottage cheese era!
@@twodogsthreecats1724 hahah 😂 had completely forgot about this comment... still watching
Amber back then: people tell me "don't binge, chose life" but it's not that easy!
Amberlynn now: binging is not a problem, just say "no", you know? Haha
🙃
gonna fall asleep to it and watch tomorrow
rest well!!!
Zach’s wifey voice sounds like Buffalo bill. Ambur puts the lotion in the basket
I wish she would get rid of the stuff she binges on. I haven't been diagnosed with any kind of eating disorder, but I can relate to fighting against wanting to binge something and still doing it. The desire to want it is so strong that it in a way kind of hurts. I have to keep the stuff that triggers that out of my house which is stuff like chips and sweets. I can't even have bagels here.
Thankfully, staple carb heavy stuff like rice I can keep around if I only cook a serving at a time. You do what you have to do
ALR sounds like a middle school gorl bragging that her girlfriend drinks coffee
OMG. Your Wifey voice has me laughing hysterically. Don't quite know why. 😆 🤣
You are the only way I even know what is going on with ALR anymore…. Love you!
'Nader-doodle-doo' that one had me on the floor Zach 🤣
During the time you were reading the screen cap of alr apologizing to FB, Judy was like "oh I guess we really are doing this shit again" 🤣🤣🤣
my dad is a narcissist and a few years ago my mom and I found out he had gone YEARS without addressing a toothache - like he literally just lived in discomfort every day and didn't mention it to anyone. totally not surprised at all by ALR doing the same with her gallstones lol
and NOT YOU GUYS LINKING HWASA WITH AMBERLYNN TOUCHING THINGS LMAOOOOOOOO literally did not expect this at all LOL
Hwasa-lynn is not a rabbit hole i was prepared to fall into 😂😂😂
I look forward to your ALR reacts. More Amber = more Zach = yay!
Was absolutely waiting on, "whatchu know about 5 guys" 😆😆😆
I’m honestly surprised the dietician at the outpatient place didn’t give her a meal plan that told her what to aim for in meals (ie how many servings of carbs, protein, veggies, etc). In my experience that’s really standard in ED treatment
They probably have. They told her not to count calories and she’s doing it anyway. So likely they gave her a whole plan that she’s not following
Yeah that was a whole thing in inpatient- you divvied up carbs, veg, fruit, fat and proteins and were given a little booklet of what everything counted as and you had to do your meals that way. I think ALR is talking about her (very) short stint in outpatient and not currently. IIRC she has the therapist but is not in the program anymore
I don’t think she went to the outpatient clinic at all, or if she did then she didn’t go for more than one day. Because she already knows it all, you see.
He might have but of course she knows more then any Dr. Especially if it doesn't please her
I've been wondering the same thing. I'm currently in an ED program myself, working through the same thing she is and some of this stuff just isn't adding up. I know we don't know everything, and aren't entitled to know everything. But I just feel like if you're gonna talk about ED recovery on your channel, it needs to be represented in an accurate way.
And also, her counting and doing all this extra stuff completely misses the point of healing with an ED. You have to totally rebuild your foundation. Your body can take YEARS to heal metabolically/physically after being put through something like this. She's just exasperating the symptoms by going round and round with this good food/bad food mentality.
Additionally for binge eating, there are FDA approved methods which make that impulsiveness of binging feel more controlled. Once you get the binging under control, you heal the habits and mentality. Like....she's got the tools right there at her fingertips. It's such a privilege to get into an outpatient program for EDs too. It is very very expensive due to the long term approach.
I guess I'm just feeling a mix of empathy because her feelings displayed in this video are so valid. All the thoughts and reactions, valid. But they NEED to be processed correctly. It's like standing on the bottom stair of a covered porch in the middle of a thunderstorm and complaining about being wet.....the stairs are in good repair, her legs work and she's being invited in. But she just keeps saying the rain is all I know.
I know healing happens when you're ready, but a lot of this just feels like frivolous unawareness. Like she's holding on to the therapist just to be able to say she's in an ED program.
Shew! Sorry for the rant, but this has been confusing me for so long!
I literally have that exact same Starbeez knock off cup from Walmart
Does she add the onion after the chicken because she prefers sweaty half cooked onion over caramelized? Or cause she doesn’t know wtf she’s doing?
both. though to be fair asian style is tends to be more like that and not caramelizing as far as onion use goes.
if you're making some sauce thing put some first and some after, results in wider spectrum.
I'm still puzzled that Amber feels the need to insert herself into someone's spousal-abusive relationship and chime in with her wisdom. Nobody asked for it. When we all remember Amber's sordid past with Casey. Yeah, Amber is the authority of wanting people like that in jail. By extension it's where she [Amber] should be. Her words and logic.
I just watched this whole thing 😂 that parental advisory shirt looks like a hoodie I had in HS in the early 2000s
i pure loveee watching your videos. them being longer now is a bonus
can we have a tour of your collection on the shelf in the back lol
Thank you for a new vidya Zach 💗 Just in time before going to to sleep! Good night/day/whatever it is there now
My favorite guide into the Amberverse!
Thanks for the kpop part of the video. That new song is a bop. Love Loco in songs too. Very good. 👍🏼
As someone who has dealt with the beginnings of a BED, I know what she’s saying. It’s kinda like being extremely sexually frustrated. Your body and mind are craving for something, your emotions are heightened, you almost go through the stages of grief as you try to fight yourself: denial- “no im not craving that, im not hungry, i don’t need that, anger- pissed that you aren’t getting what you want, lashing out at other around when they don’t let you have what you want, bargaining- “I’ll only have one, just one, then I’ll drink some water and go on a walk” or “I deserve this right? I’ve worked hard this last week, I’m stressed and should treat myself” and finally you just give in to it, but then feel extremely depressed that you’re eating and that you couldn’t say no to yourself, that you’re a failure.
Everyone can find help for this in one way or another. My way was avoidance and distraction, rewarding with other stuff besides food. If I felt like I was gonna binge, I’d take a hot bath. Being naked and wet meant I couldn’t go into the kitchen where the window was always open. The hot water would distract me from one discomfort, and it would soothe me like a hug. I’ve kinda Pavlov’s dog-ed myself now lol because I feel the need for a bath after dinner every day now. Once the cravings started to fade, I started to eat more during the day. Snacking made me gain weight but it kept me satisfied to the point I didn’t binge eat anymore. Now I’ve lost that weight and my relationship with food is much healthier. I feel like exercising helped a lot with my binges too. Not as a punishment but as a routine- it got me out of the house and away from the food and made me feel better about myself. It took a while to train out of the “don’t eat junk just cause you worked out today” mentality, but I did it.
I totally get this...in my recovery I have had this with booze. Drinking it before i even realize...like an out of body experience. so i get it. Therapy and support only way to help
Why do I have a feeling Wifey tries to stop her from binging but Amber is Amber and wifey just gets aggravated and leaves which then makes her even more depressed and makes her binge more. Unlike Becky, I think wifey will only take so much of her bs.
I have BED and I relate to amber a lot on the first part of the video about losing control.. I’ve learned in my treatment that once you identify that you’re going to binge the next best thing to do is distract yourself and reset your nervous system basically because binging is a result of an over stimulated nervous system like anxiety almost and your body is basically trying to regulate your nervous system the only way it knows how- binging
Well I for one am so glad she makes longer videos now because I watch your reaction videos everyday while I prepare dinner 😁
Saving and sharing the wrappers/containers is weird
Her answwr to the fluctuation thing just made my brain epxlode. What the hell. Also, I feel like we've been through the whole counting calories or not thing like a thousand times by now. 1. She counts calories. 2. She stops because it's triggering to her. 3. She starts counting them again because it's the only way to lose weight. I get how calories counting can be triggering, and I believe Amberlynn should focus on portion control and food quality BUT she needs to realize she hasn't been counting accurately. She hasn't weighed out a single thing and has consistently chosen the lowest calorie option on her app. What seems to be really triggering for her is the daily weigh ins. Girl, throw that scale out the window. We're talking about losing hundreads of pounds here, she doesn't need to focus on a quarter of pound.
I love ur long videos. Tbh ur my fav channel and have been for a year
Zach, you made me feel some type of way about getting over HP lol. I was drinking my coffee out of my HP cauldron mug when you said it. I know JKR is VERY problematic and I honestly havent consumed any HP media for like a year now. I mainly stick to fanfiction tbh. But some of my earliest school and home memories involve HP. It's soooo hard. And I'm 30 now. Anyway, thanks for the long video. You're my favorite!
