STRUGGLING, DIABETES, BACKLASH AND WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY

2021-02-25 · YouTube · Foodie Beauty · 13 min

Chantal records a candid vlog-style update about struggling with overeating, a recent diabetes diagnosis, and pursuing weight-loss surgery. She talks about not trusting her own willpower, stopping intuitive-eating therapy, being on the bariatric surgery waitlist, planning a GP visit to manage diabetes and ask about Ozempic, mobility limits due to breathing and reliance on a walker, missing outings with Pete, and caring for her cats (calling Tam). She mentions eating pizza the night before, feeling overwhelmed by cravings and backlash from viewers, and plans to post more diary-style vlogs, exercise videos, and what-I-eat content as she works on her health.
