Just watched an Instagram video from Diane. One of the most moving I've seen. Seemed honest and heartfelt with none of the blame game.
Diane, I felt like we heard truths right there. Addictions are life destroying. Well done for owning it. For not blaming others. That's the biggest step. There are self help groups for food addicts. So much better than weight loss groups. Please see if you can access one as it may offer you further specialist support.
I'm going to continue watching and hoping you succeed
I don't have any sympathy.
She wheels out the MH issues and addiction history when she's fucked up yet again and looking to shift any blame or take any responsibility for herself. She absolutely could get counselling/therapy for her issues- instead she sets herself up as some sort of quack self-help lifestyle guru- it's a joke.
She has had SERIOUS emergency health problems in the past that would scare any normal person into changing their lifestyle permanently. She's ignored it all.

That person who commented spoke the truth (it's not me- she has me blocked everywhere!)

But this time, she said that she can't hide behind her mental health issues. She said she's had therapy and she can't use it as an excuse any more. To me, that's progress.

Heard it all before unfortunately. We've all been in a place where we'd love her to succeed and get healthy- but she's going round in circles for years now.
I first came across her around 2016, and she was quickly booted from most of the groups I came across her in for being utterly vile to members offering help & support. She doesn't want it. She wants a quick fix that doesn't involve any effort, and to hell with anyone telling her that's not the way to do it.

But she has said the same lines over and over, had therapy, had addiction problems, overeats etc, etc. I suppose the fact that she hasn’t, I don’t think, asked her followers to help fund her latest weightwatchers journey is progress of some sort.

I give WW two weeks maximum.
In fact maybe even a week.
She's already pissed off that on day 4 she hasn't yet had any support from her WW leader.
I really hope I'm wrong - but if its true that food addiction is her issue- WW won't sort it.
Watch this space- if she reads this I've just given her a get-out.

I thought exactly the same after watching her latest insta post. She left slimming world more than once after lack of support from her leader. Not sure that a “hi how are you doing?” will fix her problems, also she says you don’t have to weigh free food on Ww which isn’t true as they give you a suggested food portion on the app, even with 0 point foods. Maybe if she follows it correctly she might lose her weight, or at least some of it.

I'm a WW girl -
She ate a pasta salad for lunch yesterday- 20 points - that must be half her daily allowance and wouldn't keep anyone full for long. She sets herself up for failure.

A lot of these WW leaders (and other slimming group leaders) work full time in other jobs. Some of them run 3 or 4 classes. They give out their contact details, for you to contact them if you are struggling. You pay £20 a month for a weekly check in, chat and weigh. I'm not sure you can expect a more personal service than that.

But let's face it - its never going to be Diane's fault is it.

She will be changing to SW before next week is over. The repetitive circle just keeps repeating. The daily vidoes are the same. She's on a constant loop With Her self motivation speech.
I find it strange that she's unable to get motivation from her own group or IG . Who clearly have a better understanding, achieving their own goals. While she constant derails herself.
Yet she's raving on How's she's supporting them. It's her that needs her group/ IG to keep her own Social Media identity.
She will never allow herself take advice from anyone she's too full self importance.

I don't think she knows what the hell she doing. She's far too busy posting on every fb group she can find . She's totally forgot what's she's even up too. As long as she gets those " you can do it posts. Go girl" she's happy .

We now have a step challenge. Ffs how many has she done. Hang on… she won’t do the challenge coz her leg, back, neck, hurts. Oh it’s too hot, too cold, too windy.

If I had paid for a month of Ww, not sure you can pay weekly any more, then I would at least try for the month, how can anyone give up so soon, she is her own worst enemy but has done exactly as expected.

Oh yes. I've seen her IG post. What about her peeps on fb? More than likely done another runner. Now that's giving her group 100% support.

What support is she actually expecting from about £5 a week? From my experience of Slimming Clubs it the occasional text to make surd you’re ok. It’s not a personal 1:1 service. If she thinks she has an addiction (quite possible) and wants intense support why doesn’t she actually speak to her GP and get referred to an actual dietician?

The picture of her ‘lasagne’ apart from the calories being horrific for a lunch (probably the 20% mince) she hasn’t included the cheese which is obviously melted all over the top, probably pushing that lunch to 1000 calories. She needs to be actually honest with herself.

I’m blocked from all her socials for absolute no reason at all 🤷🏻‍♀️ so I literally check in on here once in a while just to see how she’s getting on (on not)
The biggest mistake she made, in my opinion, was deleting that first group she had that had 3k+ members. Although a lot of the people were probably in it just to be nosey, she did have some supportive members in there. I think she seems lost since she deleted that group. Things have gone from bad to worse for her and I’m guessing she has gained all the weight she lost originally (may not be true, as I say I’m blocked on everything so I’m assuming)
I feel sad for her in a way but only she can change things 🤷🏻‍♀️

That should say ‘or not’ not ‘on not’ 🤦🏻‍♀️

She did the same to me. When she had her Diane scenic Route or Journey. I posted a comment on a page unrelated to hers. Post was not even related to Diane Next thing I knew I was blocked banned . Members of her groups were informing me that she was ranting and raving. Then I received many nasty messages from her.
I was utterly shocked and upset at the time. As it to totally uncalled for.
She's one nasty bully.
I'm not alone in my experience with her. Yet she has audacity to call others trolls and bullies.
