I might be completely wrong but when did Jared get an Xbox one? I thought he only got a PS4 and recently bought parts to build a PC. When did the Xbox one come in?

If anyone missed it, there's clearly an Xbox one box starting at 10:21 until 10:36.

Maybe I forgot that?

With Ellie's body I don't think they're as delusional as they are in denial... Which I guess can go hand in hand. I'm glad Ellie knows there's an issue and is trying to do something (go to the gym) but I think she needs to stick to seeing that nutritionist or dietician that she mentioned when she first went to the gym.

I don't remember them having an xbox. Maybe a new purchase? They seemed to have come in to a bunch of money at the end of the year. Tons of shopping going on! A big sponsor check must have cleared.

And yet, the boys have two pairs of pajamas.

Jackson and Calvin are imposed minimalists.

Wow...Ellie was finally open today about her health. And finally saw a doctor. Sounds like things were even worse off then we speculated. She said she's clearly not getting as many calories as she should. I couldn't tell if that was her admitting she isn't eating enough or if she was still blaming it on the thyroid issue..seems like she was alluding to it being a psychological issue. I know there are some people who are mean about her weight but a lot of people are just really concerned about her health and as she proved today, she clearly is not healthy..I mean not having enough energy to go up the stairs is very scary. I can't believe she went a year without. a family doctor, but I'm glad she's finally seeing someone. For those who don't always watch, the first part of the vlog was definitely worth a view.

It was refreshing to see Ellie address her health. Her health has been an obvious concern for people watching the vlogs. My heart goes out to her. Addressing the elephant in the room may quiet the noise. I think had she discussed it earlier, she would have found compassion, and spared herself a lot of hurt from comments. Bonnie is really good at getting ahead of things. It makes her relatable, and in turn, she is met with support. I think Ellie could have gained a lot of support during this difficult time had she been forthright about something so obvious and concerning.

It was definitely sad seeing Ellie so worked up. Hopefully she is seeking the help she needs. When she says "I'm not getting enough calories, I'm trying, it's just not happening" definitely leads you to believe something else is going on. I cannot imagine being so tired you cannot make it up the stairs. I'm surprised it took so long to get a doctor.

I feel bad for Ellie today during her talk about her weight yeah it must be hard for people to comment on Weight but that's because people care, sure some people are rude but a lot of it is from a place of concern, also because they never address it, it looks like they see that nothing is wrong with it and I for sure know some people are just naturally skinny and cannot gain weight and that's fine but we have seen Ellie a lot healthier than she has been looking recently.

I for one am totally happy that she has gone to the doctors and has addressed it on the vlog , not only does it show she does see something is wrong but also they hardly share anything personal anymore yeah they show us a few odds and ends but they hardly ever get personal. I dunno I've missed the sensitive side of Ellie that I saw today. Normally I cannot stand her attitude and her passive aggressiveness!

And the comment from jared a few weeks ago on Instagram didn't help.. And clearly there is something not alright with alarmingly low blood pressure, so the 'don't you think we would know if something was up' comment... Well maybe jared should of got his wife to a doctor instead of the comments on Instagram!

One more note on today's vlog: I literally skipped through every part that jared was in with his friends..yawn! I think he should keep that crap on his own channel it's boring.

If Ellie hasn't been to a doctor in a year then why did Jared go and say "dont you think we'd know if something was wrong" obviously not... Ive only watched the first minute of the vlog and im annoyed already.

^ Thanks for the update. I usually skip their vlogs but I will watch this one. I'm glad it is being addressed because she has been looking quite sickly for some time...

How is it possible that Ellie hasn't seen a doctor in a year? Wouldn't she be seeing a specialist for her hypothyroidism? You're supposed to be monitored to ensure the dosage is correct. I would think having a baby would mess her system up and she would definitely need to be seen.

You think Jared made her go to the dr or do you think this was something she did on her own?

ETA: Are her symptoms common with thyroid issues or does this sound more like symptoms of extreme weight loss?

It sounds very much like its a psychological issue....

I think one of the reasons Ellie seems to be over vlogging is because she cannot handle the negative comments. If you share your daily life with the world, one would think that you would mentally prepare yourself for the fact that you will get criticized--especially as your channel grows.

So glad she finally went to the doctor!!! Can't believe she didn't have a family doc and hasn't been seen in so long. That's just crazy, especially with her thyroid issues.

I felt bad for her when she was upset but I also think she is so sensitive to the comments that she only heard negative when that may not have been the case. I've seen more concern that negative but I understand she isn't in the best place to get ANY comments.

And I have to say Holy F#Ck she is in bad shape physically.... Underweight, no energy, trouble seeing, very low blood pressure...thank God she went to a doctor!! She doesn't seem to realize this could literally kill her. Fingers crossed for some real help and medical intervention to get her healthy again.

The comments on the video irk me. People telling her that she shouldn't worry about it, that shes the perfect size and she shouldn't listen to people telling her that she should eat more. Please ellie for the sake of your health and your family... LISTEN TO YOUR DR AND NOT YOUR SUBS!!! She seems to take a lot of what they say to heart, proving that today (not that that isnt normal) but i hope that she doesnt take their advice. And honestly, those types of comments, while people think that its a nice thing to say, and detrimental to her getting well. She needs encouragement in the form of listen to your dr and take his advice.. things of that nature.

Maybe this thread title was the straw that broke the camels back? Lol

Anyways I am so glad she is getting medical attention. I'm pissed that Jared was commenting on Instagram with the comment "don't you think we would know of something was wrong" like wtf what was the point of trying to convince people of a lie? He still could have defended her but not with that comment. Now he looks like an idiot for acting like her health was under control. Dangerously low blood pressure? No energy to go up the stairs? Seems like she is dealing with anxiety or depression too to be honest. Jared shouldn't have left to go do it stupid boring shit with a sick wife to look after the boys tbh.

Also her comment "I know I'm not getting enough calories" - if you know your not getting enough and if you don't have some sort of psychological issues it's easy, just increase your calories and fat intake ect. But like others said, her "I'm trying" comment makes it seem psychological for sure. Even if she doesn't have an appetite drink some ensures.

We see little glimpses of their day and were concerned. Is Jared just too fixated on YT to pay attention to his wife or children's health and step up and say something? I mean, how was sharing food to make the issue less obvious not enabling? Whatever the issue is, Jared most definitely isn't being very helpful or encouraging.

I was just about to comment about the comment section!! It's actually really disturbing. Like people this is not about her being beautiful and such a great mommy and definitely not something she should just ignore. These people all seem clueless and are totally missing the point that this is her HEALTH AND LIFE that are in danger. It's not about appearances anymore and I agree, it is totally detrimental to keep reading comments that focus solely on her appearance. I hope she just stays out of the comment section. It's really concerning that there are so many people who think this is really just about being nice to people about their weight...
