bleeping hell. Take two weeks off the diet, guilt free around Christmas! Lord knows this year has been hard enough.

It might set your progress back a fortnight, hardly the end of the world. This ^ is why people fall off the wagon and feel like a failure.
It's not the "taking the time off the diet" as you put it thats the problem...not at all, the problem is how he uses old pictures of himself since he's clearly piled it back on. The fact that he can gain half a stone inside a couple of days(his posts prove this). The fact that he absolutely bastardises the sw plan when he's posting gems of wisdom like "I cook my bacon with the
large on and cut it off as I eat it therefore it is still a free food".
You are free to eat what you like, but this man is a consultant in charge of other peoples weightlosses.
If I was in his group and I did the same with my bacon, and that week I'd gained weight, what could he say? I'd be like "well, I saw you doing it on instagram, you're a consultant who had lost 16 stones, if its ok for you to do it, then its ok for me to surely?"
If you have no control over own, you shouldn't be in control of other peoples weight.
And as if thats not bad enough, if ANYONE questions him about it, he cries troll and plays the mental health card..
"oh its been a tough year, it was covids fault, I havent seen my friends" he says... forgetting that hes met up with his sw insta friends throughout the lockdowns.
the man is a
tina on legs.
