SHARING SOME THOUGHTS.

2019-12-30 · YouTube · Foodie Beauty · 16 min

Chantal speaks candidly about a recent severe depressive episode, ongoing struggles with food addiction and overeating, and difficulty accessing appropriate mental-health and eating-disorder care for obesity. She describes feeling alone despite living with Bebe, grieving after a hysterectomy, discomfort with group therapy/AA, guilt over filming and editing mukbangs (including an unevaluated McDonald's mukbang), and plans to pursue more structured weight-loss support, weekly check-ins with a weight-loss doctor, therapy, possible referral for bariatric surgery, and removing trigger foods and delivery apps from her home.
