this weight loss story smells fishier than the 2020 election.
I agree. I'm sure there's some kernel of truth to it. Like maybe she looked up the process online. But it has all the hallmarks of being BS. The extreme detail started making me feel like "gurl, you lah" Whenever people like amber lie, they go into extreme and needless detail. The harping on detail is usually the tell.
(for instance, the more trump mentions being called "sir" in a story, the less likely I am to believe the story. Not trying to be political, all politicians dem, gop, independent, green, etc. lie, I just can't think of any prominent "tells" offhand)
390 questions, 390 questions, 390 questions. Did you know she had a psych eval that involved 390 questions? It was easy to miss, she was subtle about it. Then casting doubt on the psychologist's qualifications, as he forgot his computer password, and then just some assistant called her back. I guess we were supposed to doubt his qualification to tell her she needed psychological help before getting the surgery. I thought months of counseling and group therapy was the norm before people got this surgery? I know someone who got it 2 decades ago and they had to go to therapy and group therapy, this is only memorable to me because she told me that she was the only person out of the whole group who was there for their first wls. (spoiler alert: wls didn't work for them, either)
She had the check written out the night after her appointment! Sure, Amb.
As if to demonstrate to the world that she's not at all a good candidate for WLS, instead of just researching CICO, making meal plans, using my fitness pal or her apple watch, and getting in some exercise, she's joined another magic bullet. Noom didn't work, Weight watchers didn't work. Sticking to only eating hello fresh didn't work (I think jenny craig is going to be worse than that, isn't their stuff shelf-stable and not fresh?). Vegetarian/vegan didn't work. Intuitive eating didn't work. Intermittent fasting didn't work. Being a riceatarian absolutely didn't work. Each time amber goes through this phase and picks yet another thing that's going to be *the* thing that will take the weight off, it's proof to everyone that she has no intention of ever having a realistic mentality about weight loss, and she's never going to realize that the only magic solution is herself, a food scale, measuring cups and a calorie counter/tracker. No, Jenny Craig is going to be the answer this time.
I voted for one day on the poll, but I was disappointed that "already quit" wasn't an option. She's going to get the food tomorrow, eat the week's worth by mid-day (she'll change her outfit before each meal to "test" it on camera), then make some ramen and order in orrnj chikken and eleventy egg rolls, and then send becky out for some ben and jerry's. She'll act like she's on the wagon for 7 days, after falling off on the first. The next week she'll be coy about it. By thanksgiving week, she'll tell us, with her patented lip smack, that it just wasn't for her. She knows what works for her, and that wasn't it. The meals were too salty, they had too much fat in them, or she wanted to try cooking her own meals so she could learn healthy portions and recipes (as she said when she quit hello fresh).
. She cannot handle any form of introspection. Also her last therapy arc sucked.
