Ellie & Jared: Righteous Ellie wants designer baby! | Part #126

[mollybaby]

I don’t know how she realized it before but doesn’t see it now.

She didn’t actually realize it before. She read our mean comments here, and had a doctor sit her down and lecture her.

Also, about her trying to gain weight before. She said she was, but she really wasn’t. She started doing Keto and other weight LOSS diets. Not actual ones to gain weight.

Sorry to burst your bubble. I’m guessing you were a more recent fan than most of us here.

Regardless of how she got to the point of going to the Doctor (reading comments here, her YouTube or Instagram) I am commenting on the fact that she was aware that her weight was too low and she did gain some weight after that. Realizing something doesn’t always necessarily stem from ones own thoughts. Realizing also doesn’t mean she accepted it.

Did her acknowledgment and realization lead her to go about things in a healthy way? No. She even got a trainer and started to exercise which defeated the entire purpose because she wasn’t eating back the calories she was burning and was eating lettuce wraps. But at some point, she did realize it. I’m sure once she started to even gain a few pounds, she decided to give up entirely because she didn’t like how the weight felt on her. I don’t think she looked at that before picture and thought she looked good and she did start to fill out for a very short period of time.

Lol I was not a fan, nor a recent viewer. I started watching them while she was pregnant with Jackson out of curiosity and continued watching. There’s certainly no bubble to burst. It’s just my opinion that she at some point realized she was too thin and put on a few pounds after that.

Haven't followed the family in a while but went to Ellies insta, my first thought was what on earth happened to her hair/hairline? Starting to look like Jojo siwas hairline. Used to think it didn't look too bad. Definately think it needs a break

Ellie needs an intervention. I think that her aches and pains are her body breaking down. When she goes to the doctors in July, I hope he has a talk with Jared, possibly putting Ellie in a hospital. Jared needs to be strong enough to get Ellie help or I don't think she'll ever change. She looks old, sick, nothing about her says healthy, vibrant 29 years old mom. She's withering away, sad but true.

That Instagram photo I hope is a bad edit. She looks like she used one of those filters that ages you to an old person.

I’m no Jennifer fan, but she does look good for her age, so Ellie can’t blame her premature aging on genetics. She definitely has a more youthful energy than Ellie does.

I was thinking thinning hair due to PCOS and thyroid issues. She doesn't seem to have it under control still, and is always tired and aching. She needs to go to a real doctor like an endocrinologist to get things sorted out and follow what they say. I'm amazed at how my endocrinologist treated these conditions I have. Years ago, I was just told, infertility due to PCOS, no explanation other than it causes irregular menstruation. So much is known about it now and options for treatment by a specialist--endocrynologist. Also getting the proper treatment for PCOS and thyroid disease, can help to regulate and help with infertility. being below a certain weight can cause infertility too. She really does look in her 40s.

Ellie has been to an endocrinologist. She’s looking worse, not better.

Hmmm, I wonder if she didn't like what they were telling her to do, so she's being her own doctor. I thought for a while she was promoting how much better she felt, etc.

Yup the chiropractor turned hormone doctor was fixing it all, even had him on a podcast I think....until it wasn't helping. So she found another more expensive one. And then therapy helped so much but not anymore. She's clearly got a case of wanting to be fixed with as minimal effort as possible and only in a way she likes. Wither that or she is actually being told "no" by Jared once in awhile and uses it to get what she wants. She's a freaking MESS, I don't envy either of them a bit

When she was yammering about feeling better, wasn't that when she was seeing the "hormone specialist" who wasn't even an MD?
I have nothing against holistic/alternative healers. But Ellie cherry-picks from different "healers" to avoid doctors telling her what she doesn't want to hear: that she is too thin, probably shouldn't be trying to get pregnant, and needs to EAT a rounded, nutritious diet. I almost hesitate to even use the word "diet" because of the association with weight loss.

She also complained that doctors wouldn’t help her, that they just told her to eat.

It's so sad she has lost so much weight again. She looked so good when she had gained some. She felt better as well. Seems like every time they try to get pregnant she looses a lot of weight. Stress of it all maybe.

I agree 100%! When I saw the recent photo of her on here (the one with the dog), I was alarmed. I really, really, really hope it's just a bad angle/distorted photo because if that is the true reflection of her body, I think she's in trouble. Judging by the other photos posted from the past, she has been in trouble for a long time. If you look at her large joints (elbows, knees), they protrude. She has almost no muscle tone and appears skeletal except for the little muscle on her calf that she's developed from wearing heels. Her skin appears sallow and the dark circles under her eyes that she claims have always been there (and they have if you look at her childhood photos), while this can be more prominent in people with fair skin, can also be an indicator of poor health, which I FIRMLY believe she has.

There is something called sustainable anorexia. I forget the real medical term, but it's basically anorexia that is maintained over a period of many, many years as opposed to a more dramatic progression. In this case, a person will keep themselves just barely above a very low baseline of health to avoid tripping any alarms, so to speak. They can also go through periods of relatively healthy-looking eating patterns. It's not really about the food, though. Someone with anorexia can still eat and eat regularly, however, *what* they eat and *how* they eat are the underlying mechanisms that keep it going. She can eat candy until she barfs (and I suspect there may be some of that mixed in, too, with her obsessions about gorging on snacks in the bedroom and at very late hours of the night) and still definitely have a profound eating disorder. We've seen her exhibit tale-tell signs like pushing food around the plate, regressing or reverting back to childlike behavior around food and mealtimes (pulling her feet up into the chair like a little girl or going under the table), and also not eating her adult portion of a meal, but rather taking bites from other people's plates. <- That is a red flag that prevents people from actually knowing how much she eats. Mealtimes must be VERY stressful to her and I suspect that is why Jared does most of the cooking. Family dinners together are probably very rare and will get even rarer as the boys get older and will be aware enough to start noticing her abnormal eating habits. She'll have them eat at a separate time from her. That has already started. These are control mechanisms to hide what she knows is a problem she is powerless to stop, and she's probably kept this just barely above the danger zone for a decade at least, but it may have shown up in her hormone problems(?), infertility(?), irritability, etc. Now, it's beginning to take its toll on her body in more noticeable ways as her deficiencies are catching up with her. Her problems are a "mystery" to everyone because she's done a good job at throwing everyone off the scent of an actual eating disorder (which are really underlying psychological problems) and she's probably lying through her teeth with any "doctor" or therapist she is in contact with. I also see red flags in her alternative avenues of treatment. She's only going to doctors and getting counseling in ways that SHE can control. When it gets out of her control or when it gets too close to the real problem, she discards them and finds another. She is "Dr. shopping", but not in the way a drug addict would. She's crying out for help and for someone to actually notice what her problem really is and help her. That's what all her "Woe is me " stuff is about. She's crying out for someone to notice, but she's going to bite every hand that comes close to giving her REAL help. That's typical. That's part of the psychology. She needs an intervention - BADLY - and whoever steps up to the plate needs to love her enough to let her hate them. She will. She's functional, but barely. It's going downhill pretty quickly. I'm mainly writing this in hopes that someone from her intimate circle actually does lurk on here. SHE NEEDS HELP.

Really well said. I think you nailed it. I too hope someone finally stops enabling her and actually finds her some help

For the past couple of years I have thought there was something seriously physically wrong with Ellie. I never even thought about anorexia but you could possibly be right about that. I’m now wondering if maybe she hasn’t been sexually abused as a child. Her dad has always creeped me out. Watching old home movies of him he was extremely rough with those kids and continues to be even with the grandkids. We only saw snippets of how rough he was. I imagine it was even worse off camera. All of the Griffith girls seem to have mental and physical issues. Chad and Jennifer act like they’re such good grandparents but I really don’t think they did a good job being parents.

Bulimarexia. A pretty common eating disorder, and not just with skinny people.

There is no way Ellie’s family (and particularly Jared) don’t know Ellie has issues. We’ve been saying that for YEARS on this board for the exact same issues the above poster gave. If we’ve noticed in the short clips they are careful to show us, then those close to her have.

Another note the above poster missed.... they all say Ellie smells. It’s likely an abuse of laxatives.

I’m guessing Penny has helped in hiding the dysfunction in the last few years though.

And the very last thing she needs is another baby!
She made a comment on one of Ruby's posts "as someone who survived sexual abuse" (paraphrasing). It was just one comment, and we noticed it here, but she never elaborated on it, or said anything else. She does exhibit childlike behavior a lot-- wearing Jared's clothes and pulling her knees up in them, when she jumps into Jennifer's arms. Jennifer also made some comment about how Ellie was "so tiny, I just want to rock you". So she's encouraged in this by Jennifer. Being "tiny" is a big deal in that family. Bonnie has undergone major surgery to get thin. Ruby has issues with food as well, and Julie, although thin and healthy appearing, apparently has Type 2 diabetes. There is definitely something rotten in Utah.

How did you find out she has diabetes?
