I always took her saying this as an excuse for being 'fat' now. so many people say it, it's just a bit boring
. Carys posted a lot of what she ate, how many calories etc she was eating and it never seemed restrictive to me. She also made money by people following her guides and meal plans so she's a
crappy person if she is saying she was unhealthily restricting herself just to be skinny and making money by influencing other girls to have the same disordered eating behaviour.
In reality, Carys ate good food when she was smaller, appeared to eat plenty and a lot of calories. she wouldn't have been able to grow a lot of muscle without the calories anyway. She just stopped going to the gym and started eating more and worse food
it just always seems like an excuse to be like "oh well I was actually starving myself, I restricted so bad, I'm so much happier now". especially so when you can see she's struggling right now with her body and the only time she hasn't been was when she was losing weight because of her thyroid
