“You can slip, but don’t slide” Is one of the best pieces of advice I got over my 135lb weightloss journey. I’ve kept it off for 3 years now thanks to it 😊

Since the Tammy Slaton transformation, i am adamant: no one is hopeless and doomed to stay obese.

“I have tried everything under the sun” except be consistent

[AprilTheRockStar]

She knows that people don't mean eating an entire box of Hamburger Helper is a better choice because it's made at home, but we have to quibble over semantics to make yet another excuse for her to get takeout. THAT is what's so frustrating. She puts in more effort to not do the work than it would take to just do the freaking work.

[MelancolieRen]

Can't afford the $1k a month on ozempic because it would cut into the $3k a month she needs for UberEATS 😮‍💨

[LimitLessLindy]

“I was just existing”… i resonate with this so much! I tried every diet, lap band surgery failure. 750+ lbs on my 50th birthday, one foot in the grave, feared my daughters would have no mother. That was my WHY! Down to 270 lbs and still going.

I too had severe lipedema and Lympadema. It’s hard, but it can be managed by diet. I hope she can find her way… Xx

[LifeAfterLosing]

I mean, she is not ready. I don’t see it. There is no fire, no anger, no drive. Those are the things you need to be successful long term.

[olivialarson]

She doesn’t want to be uncomfortable. That’s what weight loss is, missing out on the fun outings and drinks and good food (not always but cutting back on eating out everyday). It sucks but it has to be more normal to not be able to do all those fun things if you truly want to lose weight.

[ExtraHecticana]

She's truly delusional.... she really thinks she's "tried" everything.... to try something you need to give it more than 1 day

[IAmContemporary]

The paradox with Amberlynn is that she takes herself too seriously without taking herself seriously enough.
She treats every little thought or feeling as a fact or a sign or an excuse, when in reality it’s healthy to question yourself sometimes. And then on the other hand, she underestimates her own impact on her situation.
It’s like she is simultaneously at mercy of the universe and the centre of it.

Honestly a whole box of Hamburger helper made with 1lb of%90 lean beef, is probably 2k calories, but it's a lot of food. It will keep her full for hours, vs ordering 3-5 takeout meals a day probably about 10k calories.

[boosqueezy]

alcohol is full of calories. she needs to stop drinking entirely.

[EpicHelios]

No, when she said "...I hate food..." I felt that. It's not the food itself, though. It's the power food has over her. The addiction. It's literally like a drug addiction, and I'm dealing with that personally. The food is filling some sort of emotional or mental void. But I don't know if she's making real efforts to fix the problem. For myself, I'm starting Ozempic tomorrow morning. Also, I want to start therapy for my eating disorder, but I'm in the process of trying to see if my insurance will cover it. I was already shocked they approved the Ozempic. I know I have a lot of emotional issues making me overeat, stemming from my mom dying at a young age a few years ago, loosing a friend to self deletion, dealing with a leg injury that caused me to loose my job that I was at for almost 15 yrs. All of that happened within a 5 year period, so I know the stress is making me use food for comfort. I just need to find the right tools to help me NOT do that anymore. But back to Amberlynn, she's really gotta WANT to change and not sure if she tried therapy, but it might make a huge difference. I'm definitely doing it ASAP and she should too.

[native_saiyan]

I remember saying that same thing from the intro. At the very beginning of my fitness and wellness journey. "I dont want to D*e in my bed. Or even yet I don't want to D*e at young age." For reference. I was 674 lbs and bed bound. I am currently 451 lbs. I am living best life I can at my weight. Still losing weight. I'll get where I want. In time.

[dawntodusk]

Shes had multiple health scares and hasnt changed, if that didnt do it nothing will

[EmmaDeelight]

Amber is correct. It's not easy. That doesn't mean it's unachievable.

After trauma, binge eating, and depression eating for 30 years, while being morbidly obese I made the decision to lose weight.

I ate strictly under 1500 cal / 50g carbs daily, did 6 - 10k steps 5 times a week, and I lost 44kg. It was hard, I was hungry, and I was physically tired, but I didn't give up.

I am now 42 and pregnant for the first time. My life has completely changed. I can't wait to get to my goal weight after my baby is born.

If you're on the journey, stay strong and stay focused. It may take some time, but you will get there!

[filbert]

She is literally the only thing standing in her own way

[Miltonthemilkdud]

She hasn’t tried inpatient, she hasn’t tried weight loss surgery which she was approved for, she hasn’t stuck to a diet - she fails and throws a pity party. She should take accountability for what she’s done to be in the situation she is in and be honest with herself first. She is too comfortable blaming things other than herself for why she eats what she does when she could eat fruits and veggies all day but she doesn’t want to. She could but she doesn’t want to because if she wanted to enough she would.

[Princess.McBetch]

24:30 "I never give up" except she had given up every. Single. Time. She starts these "challenges" and gets two days into them, one time she didn't even get a few hours in. She has so many people out there with the education and resources to help her, and would do it for near-free, but she just doesn't want to do it and will never do it.

These temporary moments of clarity don't last long and it makes me sad, I want her to succeed. I want everyone in her position to succeed. I don't like her but if she could stop the shit and truly own up for her mistakes over the years I could see myself actually rooting for her

[Sageddegas]

She is just genuinely so delusional… she is not connected to reality. She contradicts herself CONSTANTLY she has NO real self awareness.

“One thing about me is that I never give up”

You give up CONSTANTLY Amber that’s literally the problem. You quit and start over. That’s not not giving up.
