    At least, for once, she makes enough food! Probably made a lot so she can keep the leftovers, but whatever. Enough for seconds!

    Wasn't her family JUST at her house for a 30-person party? Wasn't she just at her parent's place for some other party? Is this all that they do? Go around to each other's houses and have "parties" and eat? I don't get it. Don't they have any other hobbies to do together?

    This just seems so exhausting. This family eats more cake/cheesecake/desserts and dairy than any other family on the planet. Why can't they just meet up at the park and go for a walk and hang out? No wonder everyone is overweight.

    It's such a shame because they live in the PNW where there is so much nature around them. They can go hiking, camping, biking, walking--anything! At least earn your indulgent dinners, jeez.

    I hope her child doesn't grow up to be obese as well. Becky really needs to turn her health around; every time I see her on camera she's looking more and more unhealthy. I don't even mean her weight--her skin color and just overall appearance is troubling. There is no glow to her. Her dark eye circles are not normal. Hormonally you can tell something is wrong. I'm not a doctor so I can't diagnose what is wrong, but I hope she is seeing one and getting some help. Her meals are way too rich and lacking in essential vitamins and minerals...green beans cannot be the only vegetable her and Josh are eating throughout the day. Potatoes and cream, butter, sausages, cheese, cream cheese, pasta, etc. is NOT good at all. She really needs to replace half of her meat intake with fish or chicken breast (not dark meat). And get rid of all that dairy! I guarantee she will start to look (and feel) better.

    We all saw what she looked like a year ago. Look how much her health has deteriorated since then. Just imagine what another year will do to her. It's not good at all. I'm actually worried for her.

    I don't think her house decor is terrible. She just tries too hard at that "I'm rich, no one lives here" look. Hence no character or actual warmth in the house.

    I do like some of her furniture. I think the problem is there is no personality in the house; it literally looks like someone CTL C + V.

    Lastly, has anyone commented on why she has 30 of those stupid chargers? Why would you buy 30 of them???!!!!!! Who owns that many??????

    I hate to say it but...it really looks like she was setting up for a funeral than a birthday. I'm not even saying that people need to drink, because they don't, but that table decor + the food + the layout...I thought someone died.

    I don't understand how the food she bought will serve 30. Even if half of them are children, it's still not enough food. Why are her parties so strict with the timing? Dinner at 6:30. Just little nibbles (a paltry container of olives, some small cheese and 2 boxes of crackers). That's all you get. Eat before you come.

    But seriously, even if she hated these people, is she expecting people to fight over food? Why can she make so much food for her and her husband but can't scale correctly for the amount of people coming? It's really baffling.

    Even IF you are having two pastas for the main, you should expect people to eat one of each. You can't force people to just eat one or the other. You have to assume people will eat two FULL portions. She doesn't have enough food where people can take little nibbles of this and that. She's not preparing a buffet, nor does she have to. But if you are NOT, you have to make sure there is enough food. Send people home with leftovers if you make too much, but I guarantee just 2 boxes of rigatoni is not enough for 30 people, even 15 people. And one box of salad for 30 people? That one small paltry box of basil and tomatoes for an appetizer? Again, if she was serving 3 different salads and 5 different appetizers, maybe what she has is okay. But she's not. Are people supposed to take one tomato and one piece of cheese and one slice of bread? I'm so confused.

    Becky: Don't have a party for 30 if you can't afford to feed all of them properly or you don't want to cook for that many. Simple as that. Learn to scale appropriately. The time it took you to go to 5 different stores you could have bought most of that in 2 stores. Use that extra time to sit with a calculator and figure out portion sizes.

    Josh's party sounds terrible. Micromanaged, no food, and sounds like zero fun. When I hosted my significant other's bday party for 15, I grilled burgers and sausages and jerked chicken that I made the night before. I had several different salads (some vegan, some not). There were chips and fruits and macaroons and lots of fun drinks. I made ONE cake, but also made brownies and cookies and bought other treats because not everyone wants cake. There was a start time, but I grilled in waves so as people came there was always a fresh batch of something coming off the grill. We listened to music and drank and ate and played games until the food was almost gone.

    Point is, I planned that each person was going to eat a chicken and a hamburger or 2 hamburgers or a sausage, etc. I made enough food so that people could eat one of each if they wanted. I didn't micromanage the food or the time; people came when they wanted and ate what they wanted when they wanted to eat it. Guests then helped clean up and I sent some home with leftover salads and burgers. Everyone was full and happy; some Ubered home and picked up their cars the next day. It was a blast and Becky should just let her hair down and stop being so rigid with stuff...it'll be okay. And this is coming from a type-A person!

    I did have a spreadsheet of food and lists and times, etc. But that was because that's how I operate and think. I try not to put that on other people. Just because that's my world doesn't mean I have to force other people to live in that jail. My significant other really helps me with that, but it seems like Becky's husband is even more rigid than her...which doesn't help.

    Anyway, can't wait to see all the bare space for her 30 person party!

    I watched her latest batch cooking video, and genuine question: Is it safe to food prep proteins 4 days in advance without freezing? I feel like the peanut chicken had that lime juice; wouldn't it just cook the chicken after a couple of days? I feel like it maybe would have been better to cook in advance and then put it in the refrigerator for later? Especially that chili; probably would have tasted better the next day. Just wondering if she's not going to poison herself or her family by doing this, really assuming she cooked everything in 4 days?

    I don't understand why all of Becki's flavors are the same, or why she picks the same types of recipes. It's all the same ingredients; cheese, cream, parsley, chicken stock, etc. I get maybe she's trying to do the 20-minute meal thing or quick pasta recipes, but you can do that and also find recipes that vary.

    For a self-labeled "foodie" or to be that obsessed with food but NOT willing to experiment with things is so bizarre to me. She has a food/cooking/gardening channel (that she chose to host) on YouTube. That's her full-time job. Her full-time job should be to research, find recipes, and experiment with food and cooking techniques. That's all she has to do all day is cook and share some new stuff. It's constantly the same recipes, the same foibles and fails, the same lack of research, the same mispronunciation of ingredients or techniques. If she worked a real job, she probably would have been fired by now.

    Why not introduce some seafood? She could have done an easy shrimp pasta, or some orzo or something with a nice piece of salmon. A pasta puttanesca, or really stretched her boundaries and tried pad thai or some other Asian dish. It's possible to make food without cheese, cream, butter, chicken thighs and sausage. Her culinary repertoire is stunted and paltry. I think her channel would do so much better if she tried really off-the-wall recipes, failed, but learned along the way. If she took us to an ethnic market, asked what things were, and then tried to replicate recipes at home. I get people have tried and true staples, but most of us aren't trying to market ourselves as knowledgeable cooks like she is.

    Lastly, who is eating all this food? She made 4 pasta dishes and then what? Maybe she's giving it all away.

    Okay, and really lastly, does she have ANY friends? Why is it always her family that is around? I get people like their families and etc., but it's so odd that your party guests are always your family. These parties are always centered around food and 3 tiered cakes that have to be baked 2 days before and frozen and all the dishes labeled and prepped a week before the party. A party where only the family shows up. And when it's a "big" party of 22 people, there is only enough food for like 10. It's all so bizarre, this control and obsession over food all these people in her family have!

    I am actually glad she is running. Even if it's walking or fake or whatever, she is looking thinner. I'm all about the scale moving in the right direction.

    However, I am sensing a bit of body dysmorphia and some really concerning behavior. I am all about wanting to look your best and feel your best. If that means getting your hair done, nails done, that is fine. We all do it. I think the issue is that she constantly "fakes" her looks for the camera. Why can't she show herself going on a run with no makeup? If it's really about the run, then RUN! We don't care how you look. Why the lipstick and eye makeup? That type of insecurity is what is troubling, and that definitely will spread to the kids.

    Same with the chronic diet. I am not about putting kids on diets because the parents are on diets. I can't stand parents putting their kids on gluten-free diets or dairy-free diets because they can't eat the food. Diets are so individualized that you can't just diagnose your entire family because of your flavor of the month. All these big family homesteaders do this shit. They put their kids on raw milk diets, gluten-free or dairy free or low carb or whatever because THEY (the parents) can't control their portions and exercise. OR suddenly they all have MDs and know better.

    Jamerrill needs to focus on her health and also the health of her kids. That means abandoning "trim healthy mama" or whatever she's been failing at and just replace it with sensible diet and exercise. It looks like the running is working. Cut out the cream cheese and cheese and cream and whatever and just have proper portion control. Eat pasta and bread! Just don't make 30 dozen bagels where 20 of them go missing after 6 hours (and think that is fine). Don't buy 5 dozen Sharp Shopper sugary yogurts and think it's normal for kids to be eating 2 per sitting. No, putting 15 sweet potatoes in the slow cooker for 3 people is not okay. Mono-mealing it doesn't work when you eat other stuff and pile the plate.

    Overall, I hate watching her meals and her cooking. She clearly has an eating disorder, and her disorder is clear in these videos. If she has time to take a "vacation", i would suggest seeking an eating clinic (a real one, not a disordered one) and gain some clarity over food.

    I have never seen someone so gifted at destroying food. She amazes me every single time. When I think it can't get worse, she finds some way to do it. When has tomato soup had FLOUR in it? Stuffing balls that were disgusting to begin with smashed down and her gross "cream of" soup added to it?! The ribs with the 1lb of brown sugar and kraut?! The chopped broccoli and cauliflower with a ton of miracle whip?! That gross mac and cheese?! The list goes on.

    The kids probably hated the lemon chicken because she projected and spoke all day about how much she hates chicken thighs. Also, fresh lemon flavor is probably something her kids have never experienced. Same with "truffle". Anything that has its own flavor they have a visceral reaction against because it's not chemically laced (although, that truffle is probably chemical but you get what I am saying). Can't even be bothered to make fresh meatballs or cook some fresh sauce for the pasta. Can't be bothered to sear those hotdogs first. Everything is just heat and eat.

    What does boggle my mind is how many "treats" she makes and how much she is willing to spend time making those. If I was in a hurry, I am not making 3 layer sweets and messing up a blender to make bean donuts. That's time-consuming. I would take that time and roll out some meatballs or do some veggie prep for a dish to cook closer to dinner. She doesn't have to cook from scratch all at one time. She can do some prep in the morning so that when it is dinner time she can sautee quickly or whatever and have a hot and fresh meal. That's how restaurants operate; they aren't cooking your meal from scratch when you order it.

    For a supposed seasoned homemaker, she doesn't even have the basics down. She doesn't make her own chicken broth, can't make a proper roast chicken or spaghetti sauce. She doesn't know different cuts of meat, she doesn't know how to sear, she doesn't know the basic ways of chopping vegetables. She doesn't know how to make basic sauces or soups. She literally SUCKS as a homemaker. So I'm not sure what she thinks she does all day.

    She doesn't nurture her kids. She doesn't teach them how to function in society. She lets her husband treat her like shit. I don't know how she goes from someone who was homecoming queen or whatever in many activities in high school to this shell of a person who takes zero pride in anything she does. It's sad.

    She doesn't look good. The dark rings around her eyes, the color of her skin (it's not vibrant, but kind of pale and beige) and she's overweight. For the sake of her "family", she should really try and get healthy. It looks like her body type carries the weight in the middle, which is never a good thing.

    She should really take a second look at her idols like Ina Garten. Ina is not a very svelt lady. I don't care how much "grass fed, grass finish" crap you eat, that does not mean you will be healthy if you eat loads of the stuff. A2/A2 or whatever milk and probiotic sour cream is NOT healthy when abused. Becky may be lactose intolerant for all we know, but continues to down the stuff.

    I know in the past Becky went to the gym with Josh. Obviously, she has taken a hiatus from that, but maybe Josh still goes, which is why he's not a walrus. OR, the meals that he eats are the only thing that he eats and he has portion control (no snacking like Becky in the kitchen). But yeah, that dinner with the chicken parmesan, pasta, and bread was outrageous. She even DOUBLE BREADED that chicken. A better meal would have been to keep the chicken parm, just bread it once, and then have a nice salad on the side. That's it. Don't need pasta, don't need garlic butter bread. It's all so extra and so calorically dense with no added nutrients. Her vegetable "sides" are always just an afterthought OR she makes them so unhealthy it defeats the purpose. Instead of going to pig butchering classes, she should go to a nutrition class to learn how to be healthy and how to not raise an unhealthy and obese kid.

    I don't know if it's me, but does she EVER stop talking? It's like she is narrating every little step that pops into her head aloud. How does her husband or friends stand her?

    I don't mind people narrating, but please at least offer some insight or artistry to the videos. Bumbling around the kitchen dumping pumpkins into too-large plastic ziploc bags isn't interesting or insightful. At least teach us something new, or, god forbid, try an interesting recipe. Or, maybe take us to a new ethnic grocery store or something and have us join you as you experiment in the kitchen (SANS cream cheese and cream!). Her recipes are all the same style of food and not healthy at all. She has the means to make so much more interesting content (homemade baby food, going to a fresh seafood market in the PNW, new recipes with fresh foods, going on a road trip hiking and making picnic foods or camping foods, etc). She literally lives in an area where there are so many resources to offer, and yet we see her in her beige kitchen making the same shit every single time.

    I get some people don't want to open up their lives to the masses, but she is literally filming IN HER HOME, and has shared so many intimate details of her life already (eg bleeding pad birth story) that I don't see why suddenly there are huge black holes in her life no one can see. You made us visualize your bleeding vagina. She shares the things no one asks for but refuses to share the things that people want to know and would find interesting. So bizarre.

    I don't even mind her typos and mispronunciation of things if she just got on camera the next time and corrected herself and said, "yeah, reading is hard for me so I mix up letters all the time. I googled it and here are all the corrections for my last video." She could make it fun instead of just bathing in ignorance and pissing everyone off. Again, not a big deal if she just presented herself as a dud, but instead she presents herself as an authority on how to cook and as someone with knowledge. No one likes a know-it-all and that's what she is.

    Her mom is the same way, but at least her mom seems relatively put together. Her mom admits that she doesn't know something at times, even though to the rest of us it's painfully obvious. Becky is just so dismissive and rude to her mom that it is painful. I get our family annoys us sometimes, but her mom is doing Becky a FAVOR by allowing her to film in her kitchen and expose her to the comments and internet criticism. Maybe her mom begs Becky to come over and be filmed, idk. But I doubt her mom appreciates cinnamon being dumped on her fingers or when Becky just took a knife and started hacking away at the cheesecake sides without care (btw, did we ever see how that carrot cake cheesecake thing ended up in the Christmas video? I didn't see it.) It's obvious that her family doesn't trust Becky to carve the meats or make anything of substance because her sister always brings the main dishes and the other sides that need to be made with some form of care and measurement.

    Lastly, I'm going to turn to Becky's dinner "parties". I completely understand the stress of hosting a dinner party, let alone having to film it every step of the way and etc. There must be an art to making the food, making sure it looks palatable for the video, etc., as well as timing everything for your friends and not being chained to the kitchen when they arrive. I recently hosted a holiday party in my small apartment and had like 7 people come (which is a lot in a small apartment). I had someone making drinks and just set out everything for them to do. I had all the apps ready in advance and all the components ready for the main (it was a main that had to be served hot). But I just made things, set it out, had the music going, sat with friends and chatted, then got up when the food ran low and made another batch and repeated for a couple of hours. My friends had a good time, we had lots of good discussions, good drinks, and everyone left around midnight. Half the dishes waited until the morning. I had 1 timer that I set just for whatever was in the oven and that was it. People brought dessert, I let people party how they wanted. Her parties look dry and boring as hell. I doubt she would let anyone drink more than 2 glasses of wine. Why do I get the feeling that everyone who comes to her parties are either her family or someone who is like 50 years old? I wonder what they even talk about at these parties. Do we even get a glimpse of Becky's thoughts on anything? It's almost like she is just doing things because she feels like "this is what people who are wealthy do" and it's just flowers and hosting lame dinner parties and creating a house that looks unlived in. I wonder if Josh screams into his pillow at night, but I have a feeling Josh wouldn't know what to do if fun slapped him in the face and held him hostage.

    Okay, i'm done with my tome. LOL thanks for indulging. Overall; Becki is the epitome of a lost opportunity. Cheers to 2024 where we encourage each other to not be wasted space.

    Who runs 5K wearing gold hoops, lipstick, eyeliner, makeup, etc? If she just got off of work I would get it. But it's the morning. So, she put on all that makeup just to go outside to run? What is wrong with her.

    Maybe she was on a bike. IDK, I need to see her "run" because this is a bit suss to me.

    I mean, kudos to her for losing weight and not GAINING. I'm all for that. If she needs to lie and pad things a bit to show off to her enemies/ex that she's had a glow-up since her tragedies, I mean, whatever. I just sincerely hope her children are getting the help they need...especially the ones that are overweight.
  13. .
    So, I appreciate anyone making an effort to stay active and leave the house, and I'm happy that she's set a goal to complete a 5K, even if she chooses to walk it. What's crucial, in my opinion, is to approach stuff with realism, consistency, and honesty. It's essential to set achievable goals and hold oneself accountable. Her constant failures are due to a lack of well-thought-out plans, a tendency to rush through stuff, and inconsistency. This pattern is evident with her inability to keep a consistent schedule for her YouTube channel, always citing a million excuses.

    Also, in terms of her weight, I'm sorry but if one wants to lose weight one has to hold onself accountable. Gotta weigh and log those double bacon cheeseburgers into Chronometer or some accountability app. Just because it's cauliflower rice doesn't mean it's calorieless. It is clear that THM doesn't work for her, so I don't know why she keeps beating a dead horse. It's obvious she cheats on her meals or overeats because she thinks it's "low carb". It's always 3 eggs, a plate full of this, a plate full of that. Nothing is ever weighed out or tracked. This is why she can't seem to lose weight and she's always on a perpetual diet.

    She just lives in a tiny violin world. Every single time something happens it's like she can't cope or deal with reality. Which is fine if it's just you, but she has all those children who rely on her to be a strong person and to create consistency in their lives. If Travis was abusive, then good on her for having the strength to finally get out of that situation and to show your kids that abuse is wrong. I just hope that entire family is in therapy and individualized therapy and family therapy to really sort this out. I have huge doubts, but one can hope, otherwise those kids are going to grow up so resentful, emotionally stunted, and suffer from all sorts of mental issues.

    The person going has to be either Brooklyn or Jayden. Amy would never pay for a plane ticket for her kids, so it has to be one of the children who actually work. I hope it's Brooklyn leaving (even though Amy said she was talking to Brooklyn later...that could have been a lie or the truth, who knows). I hope Evan has been partying it up ever since he has been on his own, making some new friends and realizing that he needs more education or mentorship to succeed.

    Why is Amy always so frazzled and needs days off? A day off from what? Living? She's literally not even doing the bare minimum. She doesn't have a strenuous job. She barely cooks for her family, and when she does it's slop. She doesn't go out. She doesn't have friends. So what is making her so freaking tired? Why do the boys need clothes when they don't go anywhere except 7-Eleven and McDonalds? Why is everyone so inept in that house? Literally no one has a clue in that house. They don't clean, they don't recycle, they don't educate, they eat in their rooms or outside, they don't play sports or do any other activities....idk man, it seems like a miserable existence. How is no one just painfully bored?!!! I would be SO BORED.

    Another day, no unskoolin. Moobs is def. at home. He's been at home. He has never left, he doesn't have a job. What job has these irregular hours where you can go in at 10, 11AM and suddenly always be home at 5PM?

    Amy: PUT YOUR KIDS IN SCHOOL. She's not embarrassed to be shopping for clothes on a Wednesday or whatever when other children are in school learning? I feel so bad for Brooklyn, especially if she's working with people her age...they will talk about school or friends or other activities, and she will have nothing to contribute. If I was Brooklyn, I would move out as quickly as possible. It's really criminal what Amy is doing to her children. Someone call CPS for the younger ones to AT LEAST get them some sort of education. If tragedy had a face...
