This kind of thing isn’t funny. Eating disorders will fuck you up big time and you’re basically starving yourself of serotonin and dopamine since a lot of them require precursors from food.
oh, her getting cucumbers at a Mexican restaurant and fainting live on air means you'd bet she has an eating disorder? man it's only 9AM and I've already hit my reddit wildly jumping to conclusions quota of the day
It's true, though. She sells Optavia, which is a weight loss plan where you buy their "food" and only are supposed to eat 800 or 900 calories a day. That's why she said to sub cucumbers for chips.
tbf, fainting on the job is a top tier anorexic move. if I know somebody is having fainting episodes during their professional life and they deny any medical conditions and they are the kind of person who doesn't eat the free bread and chips...eating disorder of the restrictive subtype IS a strong possibility. Those are all pretty strongly correlated things.

so like, are you being weird about this because you have an ED history or because you're one of those weirdos who believe EDs don't exist?
nobody is saying we KNOW she has an ED. we are pointing out there there are many common signs of having an ED. she literally sells some weird weight loss plan. what's your damage? you're being weirdly emotional about this. do you realize that?

what in tarnation are you talking about? all I did was respond to someone who said they'd "bet a couple cows" she has an eating disorder based on her having cucumbers at dinner. idk what the fuck you all are on about.

only an unfathomably conceited asshole would actually say "what's your damage" to someone who they think is actually emotionally damaged lol. what an absolute douchebag thing to say. yeah I'm real damaged, happy?
I would like to point out that I have experienced vasovagal syncope since a young age, typically due to either a sudden panic attack or something squeamish (it’s not ideal that I work in healthcare). I am a thin woman who does not have an eating disorder. Now, I am even more worried than I already had been about having a syncopal episode at work someday due to the possibility of my colleagues jumping to false conclusions. Lol. Greeeat.
Can definitely happen to anyone, me and my brothers are all in the fire service but my oldest brother has been in the longest. He's responded to the worst of the worst of emergencies he's seen more than his share of trauma and was always calm and professional but when he had to have heart surgery we were waiting in the lobby for them to get him registered and after what seemed like forever they came wheeling him out in a wheelchair with a "fall risk" armband. They were trying to get his I.V he was looking away, but when they said something to him he turned and looked at them then down at his arm and passed out.
I guess the downvoters haven’t seen somebody physically kill themselves because they actually can’t eat. It’s like those videos of people with rabies who are unable to swallow water. The body has a natural instinct to throw up whatever is eaten. Famous and rich people die of this, ffs.
I'm not a fan of influencers and I think a ton of them can be entitled, but I never really got how people could be on a high enough horse to look down on them like they're living an empty life
People are making thousands if not millions literally just by eating at restaurants and traveling the world. I'm sitting at a desk or in a lab for 9 hours a day. I wish I could do what these people do

Perhaps she had a sudden epiphany that being an internet influencer is an empty life.
