This is what I think. She started this around New Year's, and it's just gotten worse and worse. She is constantly blowing air out of her nose, and sometimes she does that with the weird air gulps thing that happens when she moved too much and can't stop gasping.
I've followed her for years, and her breathing now makes Amberlynn sound normal. Amber would gasp and huff, but she wasn't turning purple from walking to the fridge back to the couch. I saw a clip of Amber yesterday when she was at her fattest and she sounds a million times better than Foodie.
I am not a medfag so I might be very wrong, but would all the scar tissue from her blood clots, and constant respiratory illnesses make her lungs more susceptible to crapping out than other fatties?
The fact that Chantal thinks she has time to get it together and start her healthy arc is really funny. Bitch, you're dying at a rapid pace. You can't breathe, you are tied to a toilet, you can't see, you shit yourself regularly, and your cat is going to outlive you by a decade or more. She can't even turn her head to see how far past the point when healthy living would have helped her.
Part of the difference between the two is age.
Once we hit our 40's, our bodies begin showing the effects of long term damage, and if it's catastrophic damage, the person will be feeling our a LOT more. Double to triple that for 50's, and people like that frequently don't see their 60's.
And yes, you're correct about damage from blood clots, scarring, etc but I am relatively new to her so I don't know if she's had them in her past. It certainly wouldn't surprise me.
Couple that up with the fact that she quickly gained at least 50 lbs, up to a 100,
just since she came back to Canada. Her body was already struggling (I admit that I'm amused at going back to videos from 5 years ago and people confidently predicting her imminent demise) and she's now overloading it quickly at a rate that it can't handle. If she went on to see an actual doctor (which I don't believe she would) he might put her on a regimine that could help prolong the inevitable, but that would be only prolonging, not curing it. Those predictors made her feel invincible, much like the LCU did ALR.
At this rate I'd give it 6 months tops, more than likely 3 and that's coming from someone who's seen people last several years after a prognosis of certain death.
As for starting her health arc, that's hilarious in itself. I wonder if Scatlah is praying that's he's in her will? Keep hoping, Scatboy. Foresight is not a strong point- or any point-of Fattie B.
