I have something to confess...

2019-05-16 · YouTube · Foodie Beauty · 11 min

Chantal records a candid vlog admitting she has been dishonest about her diet and struggling with binge-eating and food addiction. She explains repeated attempts to go vegan/plant-based have failed because she binges on dairy and chicken, describes the moral conflict of eating animal products despite feeling bad, mentions recent serious health scares (blood clots in her lungs, an ER visit), and says she's seeking help from an eating-disorder clinic and a nutritionist. She apologizes to viewers for inconsistency, considers deleting vegan-focused posts that make her look hypocritical, and asks for understanding from people who relate.
