OUT OF CONTROL

2019-03-31 · YouTube · Foodie Beauty · 14 min

A tearful personal update in which the speaker (Chantal) describes losing control around food, recent major binges (pizza, king crab legs, eight boneless wings, fries, Reese's cheesecake), struggles with depression and medication, prior referral to an eating disorder clinic, concern about the message her mukbangs send, and plans to switch to healthier recipes and seek urgent medical help (weight-loss doctor, GP) and possible medications (Vyvanse or Topamax). She thanks viewers, asks for understanding, and says she will make "cookbang"/healthier mukbang content following her doctor's plan.
