You can really
duck your metabolism up with poor eating habits too. I’m the heaviest I’ve been but I’m now eating the healthiest I ever have and I just can’t shift the weight - I think some of it is because I spent so long essentially starving myself on 1000 cal diets and yo-yoing between doing that and saying ‘
duck it’ and eating everything I’d deprived myself of. It is also because I am ill but tbh it has really made me appreciate my body and stop punishing it for it wanting to be bigger than a size 12.
I’ve had to accept that I can’t be genuinely healthy and go back to the size I used to be and I’m focusing on nourishment and enjoying food (so no fry light or grotty cereal bars that pretend to be chocolate) over the scales/clothes and god the extra weight is so much better for my mental health over counting fruit as
bleeping “syns”! I didn’t appreciate my body until I got ill and I wish I’d spend more time eating and exercising for enjoyment rather than as a punishment

it is easy for me to say in hindsight though!
Either way, the way she’s eating isn’t sustainable and can’t be healthy - remember last year she lost 9lb in a single week when she was 12st?! That’s around 5% of her body weight in a week! That and the constant body checking in her mirror selfies and the constant reposting of her ‘before/after’ photos just makes me feel really
bleeping sad and I wish she would actually just ‘enjoy being Emma’.
