Finally got an account just to comment on this and thanking all in the universe that I am finally finding people that agree with me about this woman.
Just facts as I see them - this is a woman with an admitted eating disorder (that seems to ebb, and change depending). I’m just going to say this as someone who works with people with eating disorders and someone who has been in recovery for one for a while - she is actively in an eating disorder. She doesn’t look that different from the pictures she posts from when she was actively In one. You can see it just by looking at her and her behaviour. It’s incredibly dangerous and not recommended that anyone with history of eating disorders unless in long term recovery and with a lot of help become personal trainers and give nutritional advice because their view on what is healthy is really skewed. I just don’t think she looks well. In terms of her cult like following, people with ED are desperate to be liked and part of something to for her to be the centre of this, she will be thriving but to what extent will she go to to keep the adoration? I’ve watched some of her videos. They are not for newbies or for those with injuries like she claims, they are incredibly hardcore with limited instruction. What exactly are her qualifications? My PT refused to work with me when I was ill. My PT told me specifically that I needed to listen to my body and that working out 3/4 times a week is best for recovery etc and 30 day challenges are mad and uncalled for. Even when she does a “this is what I eat now” it’s really disordered when you look at it, precise and not really normal eating. There has been talk of what she’s “on” to be able to do these workouts, I can’t comment but nothing shocks me anymore. Saying that, I’ve seen 7 stone anorexics do hours on a treadmill so never underestimate the will of someone that unwell. Aware I’ve gone on a right rant here but she is dangerous and I’ve been fuming about this for a while and it’s the first time I’ve actually seen other people call her out on it. Bothers with with CB lot, the Hinch lot, really cult like and becomes incredibly unhealthy and God forbid you point out that maybe you should deal with your mental health beyond cleaning or selling your unhealthy coping strategies to other vulnerable people as then you are a bully and a hater. Impossible to have a reasonable informed conversation around any of this stuff.
