I’ve followed Emma for years. Must be at least 4. I used to talk to her a lot. Coaxing and cajoling her to try and understand and get help.
We used to chat regularly and I thought it was getting through to her because I too, recognised a lot of my own previous disordered eating habits in her, but then every so often she would take offence and “fall out” with me that the aggro became too much.
I agree it’s really sad that no one in her life supports her or encourages her in the right direction or even advises her to maybe not spend 4 hours a day talking to strangers on the internet but what can you do? If you say anything remotely sensible, she will take offence because it holds a mirror up to her dysfunctional behaviour and ultimately doesn’t give her the encouragement that she can eat junk and lose weight which is all she wants to do.

I remember following her for the first time when I went on a mass slimming account spree when I was losing weight in 2017. She quickly stood out because of her inane stories about nothing and I’ve stuck around this long mostly because of the hilarious threads on tattlelife! But nothing in her life has changed at all in those 3 years. I’ve had a baby and bought a house in that time and she is still losing the same few pounds and obsessing over processed sugary crap.
