Remember that girl Ems that had a girlfriend with a strange nose? They did sw
I used to follow her years ago when I first started SW ... was she called “yourgirlEm” or something like that? She kind of dressed in men’s suits for work?

A couple of years ago I saw her on The Funny large One’s vlog, she had organised an event, I think it was about body positivity and Em was one of the speakers. She had put all her weight back on then!

Agreed, however it’s not a business it’s a predatory MLM company. There’s a lass on tiktok called hattie.louise who really opened my eyes to the way these companies operate. It’s disgusting.

Thought I'd update following "bootcamp" at my group last night.

Was essentially a new member talk, going through the book and going into detail about free foods, speed foods, healthy extras and syns. There was info about the science behind SW, about hidden syns, the importance of checking on the app etc.

She asked if everyone knew that SW was in fact a calorie controlled diet (many declared they didn't have a clue) but the beauty of SW was that it was CC without having to do all the weighing and measuring as SW was about energy dense foods that were naturally lower in calories. Therefore if you were following the plan properly you'd be in a calorie deficit but also keep you full.

There was a lot of mentions of energy dense foods and concentrating on filling yourself up with free food and eating lots of speed before reaching for foods with syns.

I've never heard a SW leader acknowledge CC before, never mind actively say SW is one so that was a bit of a departure. My leader is a team developer so I'm assuming this is a active decision on SW's part to say it. They clearly see the trend for SW bashing/CC praising and challenging it.

Yea it’s been like that for the last few weeks , consultants are currently going through training at the moment so this must be the new direction

When I worked in the hospital everything was talked in calories. I asked how many calories there were in mug shots. The consultant said they do don’t do calories at slimming world. I thought slimming world would revert to red and green days again that is what I was expecting
