This is really worrying. I hope she gets support.
I know she has a partner, don’t know about family or anything, but they really need to get her off of social media until she’s further along in her recovery. Looking at fitness/SW accounts every day should be a huge red flag for those close to her. I know she has the capacity to make her own decisions, but it’s really upsetting to see her walking a dangerous tightrope like she is.

It can be so difficult I imagine, and I have no experience on it, I just wonder if anyone on here who posted about their concern knows her and could intervene.

I’ve toyed with the idea of reaching out to her and voicing my concerns as an outsider looking in, but weighing it all up, I don’t think that a stranger’s opinion from the internet would be taken the right way, no matter how good my intentions would be.

I feel like I've missed something here, what's happened with her?

So a few year ago she lost 11+ stone with SW, reached target, and then just couldn’t stop losing as she had developed a bad ED. She’d claim she was trying to gain to stay in target range, while eating a banana and a couple of cucumber sticks a day. I had to stop following at some point as I found it too upsetting. I think she disappeared at one point, but then came back and had posted a few pics of her ED recovery, where it looks like she was hospitalised. She’s now gotten to a much healthier weight, but has been posting about”being large” doing polls on the best ways to lose weight (including sw 😬), and even had a PT at some point. I don’t know how she did that, as I can’t see any responsible PT coaching someone who’s clearly still struggling with an ED.

Does anyone remember laurasw89? She lost 17st and had skin removal. I unfollowed a few years ago (can’t remember why).

She went scarily thin after reaching target and blamed it on being on her feet all day at work and not getting proper breaks.

Did she manage to find a healthy balance?

shes still very thin and posts alot of things about bad mental health and self harm. I dont look much anymore as it was all too triggering for me. I remember she used to go nuts at people for saying to eat a chocolate bar on break to get her calories up but she was so short that she couldnt and wouldnt do that. She doesnt post about food or food pics anymore from what I saw.

Does anyone remember the girl who was obsessed with Disney and had a drawer full of SW snacks under her bed?? Can't for the life of me remember what her name was! Seemed to remember she went to Nando's practically every day too

I used to really like Rachel’s place - she lost loads on SW for her wedding, put it all back on and then disappeared.
She was quite funny though.

Was that the budgeting slimmer or something? Emma?

The classic Nando’s plain skinless chicken with spicy rice and salad or corn. It was the most expensive and rubbish eating out SW fad ever.
