I had a eating disorder which wasnt trigged by weight loss clubs but more relationship trauma.
once i dealt with the underlying issues, weight did creep on but i found that when i joined SW , it gave me control not to resume old habits, it made sure that i had my calcuim intake, i ate proper meals and also fruit and veg
The same with me, I used weight control to deal with family trauma. I liked WW because I was with like minded people, I just made my own rules up. SW on paper, is a balanced diet (it just needs to stop telling people that food is free and strawberries ate with a Mars bar speed up the metabolism)

Who can actually manage 3 Yorkshire puddings and all that food it must be 1000 calories a plate wow 😯
Only 8syns though. So that leaves another 7 syns for the day on top of the huge amount of "free" food that she can chomp through🙄 Don't worry though, at least a third of the plate is speed so you'll still lose weight😏

It’s a joke isn’t it?! This is the norm for SW Sunday dinners though...always piled up so high the food is clinging onto the edge of the plate for dear life.

What do you think of slimming_millie ? Used to be sw now cc obvs! I worry that she doesn’t eat enough (she’s very tall). She’s going to a theme park tomorrow and taking her own low calorie food too.
 
I was like her and gained it all back and some after 4yrs of maintaining. I think once you are obese (which I am) it’s a harder battle to stay thin. My cousin is naturally slim, doesn’t give food a second though and eats what she likes when she likes. Doesn’t workout at all BUT she always stops when she is full and only eats when hungry. She has no emotional reactions that lead her to overeat, whereas I eat for every emotion (mainly when anxious!). There’s a fine line when you get to goal of relaxing slightly and losing the plot.
This couldn’t be more accurate!!! And this is what there needs to be weight loss consultants for!
Getting you the help you need to change your emotional attachment to food, recommend you therapy if that’s what you need etc.

I’m exactly like this. If I’m at work & busy I’m fine. But the days I’m home it’s all I think about all day long. I eat when I’m sad, happy, anxious. And in turn get more sad and anxious because of the weight gain.

I think too we need to be taught how to raise our children without that emotional attachment to food, I don’t give food as rewards and I try not to have”good” and “bad” foods with my children but it’s really hard getting it right when youre all over the place yourself.

Does anyone follow skinnyschedule? She was in the SW a-team a few years ago. All she does now is tag brands/hotels to try and get freebies.

I unfollowed her ages ago. She was such a bandwagon follower 🙄
She posted a throwback picture the other day from like 2017 or something with all the SW cover girls from some event they went to, she had tagged them all in it, and basically every single one of them had deactivated their accounts. Obv all had put all the weight back on and went into hiding 😂

Thefunnymummydoesslimmingworld is having another tantrum because she's got covid and has to isolate with her daughter. People on IG who have lost their children would love nothing more than to have them back and she's complaining that she's only got her daughter to be with and can't see her new man. Seriously. What a total bleeping brat. You only need to sit in your bleeping house and chill. Some people live in refuges or poky tiny bedsits on top of tower blocks. She's a spoilt selfish bleeping idiot.

The things Gemma B eats just baffle me. I know you can have whatever you want within reason as long as it’s counted in your calories but I don’t understand why anyone (dieting or otherwise) would eat a whole pizza and a bit of garlic bread? I’d have a right sore stomach after all that white bready carbiness! And the bars of chocolate on top of oats for breakfast all the time really isn’t a healthy mindset. And the mug cakes…,, 🤦🏼‍♀️ “the best low cal pudding” for 300 calories? Wouldn’t call that low calories, she could have a decent meal or a real pudding for less calories!

she truly pisses me off - like you said even off a diet, you wouldn’t dream of having what she has on a daily basis, no wonder her before and after are no different at all

My husband is a 6 ft 3 athlete and he wouldn’t even eat what she eats! She needs to form some healthier habits.

I sometimes like the look of her lunches but I think her breakfasts look vile 🤢 so much sugar and chocolate for first thing in the morning

I'm another baffled by Gemma B. Did anyone see her stories this week where someone told her she should eat 1400 to lose weight? She went on a right rant and said her BMR was 1700 (hmm, not sure) and she must be eating well over 2k calories a day. She may have lost 2 stone but not recently, she looks no different.
