Yep mine too. Only nice things thy said about how I look was when I was very depressed and lost a load of weight. Couldn’t wait to point it out to me when I put it back on too.

I’m sorry she’s died, I hope the money raised goes now to help other sufferers
they have said they will make the donation in her name, and put up a link for anyone who would like their money refunded.
Urgh yeah why do they have to point out gaining weight?
One of my friends is weight obsessed. She went bounding up to someone who had lost weight that she hadn't seen for a while to tell her how fab she looked and asked her how she lost it. The woman replied she had cancer.
One of the many reasons why people should keep weight comments to themselves.
Me too. Much happier children was the result.
Have you ever been ready to go somewhere after making a special effort with your appearance only for your mother to sweep away all your confidence with some ‘observation’ about how you look? It’s horrible I don’t know if they realise the power that their words hold and the effect it has.
cheers Mum
Wedding dress shopping. My mum to my sister, whilst I was behind the curtain getting changed. “Gorgeous dress, would look much better on her if she could lose a bit of weight though.” I didn’t try on another dress all day, went home and sobbed on my fiancé’s shoulder and then found my dress on my own at a later date.
That one comment stuck with me and was still in my mind on my wedding day, “do I look ok, do you think mum thinks I look fat.”
This is exactly what I meant in my post. Your mothers words ruined two of the most special days for you, your dress shopping and your wedding day. She made you feel less due to her own thoughts that should never have been spoken. What does that level of cruelty achieve? It’s bizarre. I’m sorry that you felt that way about yourself, I bet you looked gorgeous 
Oh it is
I’ve been there myself close to death from anorexia. It’s just the worst and honestly impossible to get shut off. I’ve said before I’m a mother with two beautiful girls one coming to her teen years when it really started to kick off for me I try my best to tell her how beautiful she is, etc I do honestly do everything in my power because my god I do not want my girl to go through what I went through/going through m. I defiantly not ‘ill’ like I was for so long now but still I’m so restrictive and she notices and I’ve said every excuse under the sun 
and she’s the sweetest girl always saying the sweetest things about me. I’m just been honest here please don’t hate on me for that I love my girls more than anything in the world and I try my best. It’s just a long and hard journey.
This reminds me of David’s dead on big brotherreminds me when Margeret Thatcher died #Thatcher is dead and people thought Cher had died
That was hands down the best tv moment ever.
I hope you don’t think I was attacking you when I said it was a vile way of speaking about a woman. I understood you were relaying what you had heard. I’m sorry if I made you feel bad.
When a person is visually as unwell as Nicky was, could they be sectioned and force fed in hospital? I’m not placing blame, it’s clear her family and friends tried to do all they could for her. It’s heartbreaking for anyone to suffer from from especially from such a young age.
Sometimes I still Youtube that if I'm feeling particularly down.
My mother said I look like a witch, which is nice of her. I always tell my kids how gorgeous they are all the time. They're probably sick of it!!
The problem you have in a lot of these cases is that it’s such a deep routed issue it would be futile and may well precipitate death in any event. The physically and psychologically trauma of being force fed is a huge risk and more than likely would bring on a cardiac arrest as a result. Just so sad
It’s horrific. She must have been in so much pain and so scared.The problem you have in a lot of these cases is that it’s such a deep routed issue it would be futile and may well precipitate death in any event.

Genuine question, why would you want to reveal your personal Twitter page on an anonymous forum? There are a lot of dodgers about and we would have still believed you if you’d cropped out your handle/blocked out your photo!
Good of her to respond though, she always struck me as someone who appreciated their fans.
