Brogan only ever pops up on my radar when YouTube recommends her cruise or Disney vlogs to me. I don’t know much about her or Benji but I was shocked at how much weight they’ve both put on since I last saw them. And the total abject focus in those vlogs on food food food food food!!! They do say you’re most prone to criticise someone for something you recognise in yourself. And I also don’t have the best relationship with food and I am prone to comfort eating. But what I saw genuinely shocked me.
I usually overeat when I’m bored and lonely. When I’m feeling happy and fulfilled (and especially on holiday) I’m too busy being excited and enjoying myself to even really think about food. Much less three big meals a day and a million snacks. I lost count of the amount of food mentions and constantly stopping to try this and that. And beyond the food gluttony, just gluttony in general with constantly going into every single shop and spending so much money on overpriced Disney tat.
These are the habits I associate with depressed people to be honest. Like having low serotonin and constantly having to top it up with excessive spending and consuming. But from what I can gather they have quite nice lives? Both young, in love (as childish as they came across in those vlogs to me they do seem to have genuine affection for one another which was nice).
And they are clearly financially stable enough to afford all these trips, and they’re home owners too. Idk maybe I’m naive and again, not that well informed on them as I don’t watch their content outside of travel vlogs. But they seem to have quite full and blessed lives? From catching up on this thread it seems like they’ve had some serious health scares and family bereavement which I guess could explain things. It seems like they’re choosing to bury uncomfortable emotions with excessive distractions. I can’t believe they’re going to Disneyland Paris again so soon!
