Came here to post the same pic and the same comment.

And she's sitting in a baby/toddler seat.
I think it's her shirt but Ellie looks like she has an awkwardly long neck lol which makes her more gangly

Ellie + Jared: The 'Kay Diaries (pt. 8)

I was just thinking that! There are lots of comments from the minions calling out the "haters" saying she is "perfectly healthy" and so beautiful. It makes me sad that they are so sure that an adult who can fit their legs all the way into a baby swing is healthy and normal. Many girls are sure to end up staring at their legs in a mirror thinking why aren't my legs like Ellie's? I'd wish she'd talk about her issues instead of passing it off as fine so young girls don't think it's okay.

I pulled some pictures the old vlogs (top two were 7-8 months after Jackson, bottom two more recent). I didn't pull any pregnant pictures because she looks WAY different in those but it is amazing how much her face has changed throughout time! I really do hope that in addition to her trainer, she's seeing an ACTUAL DOCTOR to discuss her weight so she can be as healthy as possible for her boys.

That photo of Ellie in the swing is truely concerning. I understand she is a naturally slim woman but she is so underweight at the moment. If you go back and watch e&j's yoga challenge video which is right before she found out she was pregnant with Calvin she was very slim, but she was not as skinny as she is now and it's about the same amount of time post partum after both boys. You can see in her face she is underweight, her face is withdrawn, the super dark circles under the eyes, her legs are so thin and she looks unhealthy. It is worrying, especially considering young girls watch these vlogs and are so impressionable about their own bodies (as stated in comments above). It's worrying to see.

That picture is alarming and disturbing. I'm hoping that she is getting help and just not telling us about it. I can't imagine Jared, her family and close friends would ignore such a serious condition. She can blame it on her thyroid but she was never this skinny before. Something more is going on here. Yes she was thin before but looked healthy and now she is all skin and bones. She has lost way too much whatever the reason. Her face with her cheekbones sticking out makes me feel sick in every vlog. Whatever the reason, she needs help and needs it soon before she ends up in the hospital. Her long-term health is at stake.

So yesterday Ellie was so offended that somebody told her to gain weight and I kind of felt bad for her. But looking at this picture makes me think all she wants is attention. If you are so self conscious about your weight and don't like it when people make comments about it...why the hell would you go out of your way to get in a BABY SWING!!!! That is just drawing more attention to your weight!!!

And I agree, it's one thing to be naturally thin like she looked before, and another is to look sickly. She looks sick. And it's worrisome. But since they got the gym membership, she has only gone 1 time...and that was just for an assessment. I hope she gets some help.

She needs to see a doctor. A real doctor, not a gym trainer or a dietician/nutritionist. I think she really needs the advice and guidance of a doctor at this point. I would think she'd have a family doctor who knows her and monitors her thyroid. I don't have a thyroid problem so I don't really know but I'd think she'd have a doctor who sees her often to keep on top of it, adjust meds, check on her health, etc. I get the impression she doesn't see a doctor and tries to tackle her health issues on her own.

I know Katie is probably bigger than average (I hate even saying that) but I would much rather look like her than look like Ellie. If Eliie truly cannot help it than I regret saying it but she looks horrible.

But she can help herself if she really wants to. I'm not so sure she truly wants to help herself. She says she does but do we see her actually doing anything? She went to a gym assessment - that is all we've seen. She needs to do more. She needs help. I really fear she will end up in the hospital. Underlying medical condition or whatever, she is way underweight and looks anorexic and needs help. If we (a bunch of strangers) are concerned, how can her family and friends not intervene??

Gym assessment for Ellie, and chiropractor for Calvin.

Hmmm... I'm sensing a pattern.

*rolls eyes* seriously...go to a real doctor!!! Calvin should have been seeing a physical therapist months ago! His neck is clearly not 100% and we've only seen Jared do those stretches once. Hopefully they're keeping up with them off camera (if she'd made a baby update in the last four months maybe we'd freaking know). And who knows what kind of credentials this gym dietician has! She has PCOS and and hyperthyroidism...these obviously need to be managed by a doctor if they are affecting her health so drastically. Ellie doesn't need to just go to the gym and build some muscle... The rest of the family seems fine with going to the doctor...why are they so adamant about choosing "alternative" options? It's a good thing she doesn't want another kid for a while, your body needs at least 10% body fat to support a baby.

I assumed she had hyperthyroidism as well judging by her weight loss, but someone corrected me and let me know she actually shared that she has hypothyroidism. In extreme cases, hypo can lead to uncontrollably weight gain, because the thyroid is under producing. (I have very slight hypothyroidism that I see a specialist for but no weight issues.) The only way hypo could cause dramatic weight loss is if you're overmedicated and swinging too much in the other direction, but in that instance you would be under the care of a doctor and they would test your levels on a regular basis to makes sure that doesn't happen. I know PCOS is just as common in slender women as it is in heavy women, but again, I don't believe that it causes dramatic weight loss per se.

If she's prone to these kinds of issues she could have a hormonal imbalance that's triggering this. But if that was the case, I'm not sure why she'd be so secretive about it. They vlogged their appointments with the fertility specialist, and talked about her health issues related to these appointments as they were happening. Now suddenly she's super embarrassed and private?

I think there's something psychological going on there. Maybe it started out as a physical health problem and now she refuses to seek help because she actually likes the way she looks and can't see that it's unhealthy. I think she's probably struggled with it for some time but it was under control until recently. Perhaps her desire to have children pushed her to get it under control for a period of time. Now she has her two babies and it's running rampant again. It probably affected her milk supply, so she had to switch to formula, but of course she has to be secretive about it. And of course they couldn't address it in the videos, because they need to control their image and project the perfect family. And of course she would fly off the handle if anyone mentioned it and become super defensive. It's all part of the illness. I think Missy knew exactly what she was doing when she posted that swing picture. This is going to be one awkward vacation. Everyone around Ellie must have their suspicions of what's going on but no one can say anything.

I am really unsure if the issues that Ellie's having are actually psychological or if there's an underlying medical cause of her extreme weight. I don't ever watch their vlogs anymore so I can't really go off of what she looks like day-to-day, but I feel like Ellie has always been insanely thin unless she's pregnant. I remember thinking how thing she looked in the video where they announced she was pregnant with Calvin. But personally, I don't think she looks any thinner now than when she did pre-Calvin, but I may not be looking at the right pictures/videos.

It is interesting to me though that she is always so concerned about fertility, when one of THE most basic things related to fertility is if you're eating enough - if Ellie isn't eating enough food day-to-day, then good luck getting pregnant. She'll lose her period.

It's important to note, however, how Ellie seems to vehemently deny that there's an issue, which does make me lean towards thinking that she actually has some sort of eating disorder and wants to remain skinny. I've had my own eating issues in the past and when I think back on what I did during the thick of it, it is insane to me what I denied to myself and pretended to myself what was okay (sorry for the personal note, but passing out, period loss, etc). And I know denial is pretty much the norm for people with eating disorders, so that does get me thinking, but at the same time, Ellie has always been thin so it's hard to say.

Am I the only one that thinks it was pointless for grandma to come and leave the next day? Seriously? She prob watched the kids for maybe 2/3 hours while they were at the EP party.

And when Calvin stopped breathing the only thing that they did that day was calling Ellie's sister who is a nurse and lives in a different state :?

Hi, long time lurker here! I used to love Ellie and Jared and now I just find them so dysfunctional. I am also concerned about Ellie's weight loss but I believe that is it is mostly mental. Ellie tweeted this out last night. I mean, what grown women shares a meal with their husband and wont let their husband have his own meal. I believe Ellie has to control every aspect of her life including how much food everyone gets and that has to be a big contributor to why she has lost so much weight.
