I'm all for body confidence and hate putting women (and men!) Down because of their appearance... but she must be gutted she is pretty much back to the size she was before ( she may be a stone or 2 lighter) .. absolutely nothing against the larger lady , as I'm a size 18-20.. but it just be a bitter sweet knowing she has put it all on.. I lost weight a few years back and I'm a good stone and a half heaveir then I was when I was at my lowest and its not a nice feeling .. slimming world obviously works.
But im not so sure its substantial!
Agree with you and I think sw is essentially well meaning but people abuse the guidelines to create fad ways of losing big numbers.
I think she makes herself feel better about weight gain because she was doing unhealthy sw habits to maintain it when she was at her lowest weight. To her she’s stopped doing those things so it feeds on validation to have put the weight on.
I don’t know if I feel sad for her. For a long time she lived a lie of working as a health guru preaching to others and having them sign up to something each week, taking their money, but wasn’t managing to do it herself. She was either really struggling and still is or was just a fraudster.
I couldn’t care less what size she is, I just wish she wasn’t so two faced about it and was more open. She goes through periods where she’s almost crying on stories because she’s unhappy and wants to go horse riding but can’t because of her size, to then if anyone mentions weight loss or body image she is saying people are judging her because of her size and she’s just happy being her. It’s confusing. You can love yourself and still want to be healthy and do positive things to promote your health, so she doesn’t have to stick to only one lane, but she’s so defensive which to me says she’s not as happy as she sometimes says.
If she’s definitely happy good for her.
