I’m relieved to hear someone normal say this cos the stuff I’ve heard about SW is.... bizarre? Like I know we laugh at slop but when a mate goes on it and starts documenting every meal and they ALL look bleak and colourless it’s quite something? And then them interrogating waitresses to make sure the salad has NO OIL, like they’re not deep frying it love a bit of olive oil isn’t gonna kill u stop giving the poor girl grief!
The worst was having my now estranged thankfully narc foster sister come over and tell me how she’d had to tell the group that she was coming as I had “such good food))” and she knew she “wouldn’t be able to stop eating” it was all super passive aggressive and I just thought just say you think I’m fat and I’ll drag you down babe I rly don’t mind?
I’m not even big, I carry all my weight on my tummy tho and don’t mind about it cos that’s just how bodies are init/have had 2 major surgeries there so what’s a girl to do ey! Always wondered if the groups force you to say this or if she was just extraordinarily bitchy?
I think SW has some shady business practices too. An old acquaintance of mine that I still have on Facebook became a SW employee, she like runs the local one and gets paid for it? (and constantly invites me to join, I assume she spams everyone and not me specifically) to be honest I thought they'd started running it like one of those Avon/Scentsy/Herbalife businesses as she turned into a total "boss babe" and we all actively avoided seeing her because all she would talk about would be SW.
Imagine my surprise when one of my friends was like "have you seen {person} in the paper?" And she's in the local rag talking about how SW have helped her sooooo much and she never used to leave the house because of her weight and how it impacted her daughters cause she couldn't do anything with them etc etc - it's all bullshit!!! she used to be out all the time! Honestly I started actively trying to avoid hanging out with her because if she heard you were meeting up in town she'd be like "oh I'll come I'll bring (her daughter's)" then monopolise the conversation to talk entirely about SW and "the SW girls."
Not a single mention in the paper either that she's actually employed by SW. That put me off SW (and that person) for life. It seems to completely take over people's lives which definitely isn't a healthy approach to food or diet.
Wasn't there something about how their 'sins' make no sense for a lot of foods too, I remember reading something really silly like 4 cans of strongbow dark fruits is technically better than an avocado under their system. Might not be true though.

. We were facing timing at the weekend for our toddlers to ‘play’ together and she was complaining her weight loss had stalled but as others have said has no knowledge of nutrition etc so has ended up with a really disordered view of it all. It also feels like a MLM from what she has said which always sends alarm bells ringing. Bit like these influencers/zlist celebs pushing Herbalife et al
like ungrateful children
