It’s such a massive money making business these days that the amount of people talking about it is insane. And most people totally contradict each other! It’s so hard to just find a sensible way of life that suits the individual when so much of this is rammed down our throats every moment of the dayThank you!! Despite the fact that I am working on losing weight, I find the subject absolutely aggressive. Even here on the WIEIAD or weight loss topics, the talk usually circles around shaming oneself for having "a bad day" or "cheating" or "exercising it off"... It's awful and I've started to avoid all 'healthy life' talk because a lot of people can't seem to mention a full meal that isn't *insert diet name* without trying to have a valid excuse about it. I don't want to corner myself into finding a good reason to eat something other than 100% healthy or remind myaelf that I'll have to compensate my food later on. Hateful thing.
Diet culture is absolutely toxic. Hearing the same shit here as well about “being good” and “back on plan” and I just think “oh fuck off”Thank you!!

It is toxic and also very lucrative. Meal plans, dvds, exercise apps and so on. I asked my GP once, what’s the best plan to lose weight. They said ‘eat less, move more’. But never cut out bad things completely as you’ll crave them. Simple as that.Diet culture is absolutely toxic.

one of the cups is empty?Just why the fuck????
Seriously why???????????
And what makes people think we give one single fuck??????
I literally want to get off this bloody planet
It amazes me the amount of people that complete it and act like its something monumental ?All the stupid fads like Dry January. What sheep must people be to jump on it every year but never actually change in the long run yet never figure out what a waste of time it all is.
Im doing it because I was diagnosed with high cholesterol and had to start taking tablets. My diet is veggie and I eat fairly healthily. The Dr says it’s most likely genetic (cheers Dad, Mum, Grandma)It amazes me the amount of people that complete it and act like its something monumental ?
To me it just says they've a big problem with alcohol if they think that's something to be proud of, not drinking alcohol for 4 weeks?
I’ve not put it on FB either. Last time I cut out the alcohol/chocolate/crisps/things with red dietary advice on the packet, I lost over a stone.I am trying to lose weight now that Christmas is over with but I’m not plastering it all over social media. I was going to do it before but didn’t want to spend Christmas miserable and obsessing over it.
I was diagnosed with high BP late last year, hoping that being a bit healthier will help get it down and get me off the meds.
Thank you, i hope you get on well too. See no fads, just cutting back.I’ve not put it on FB either. Last time I cut out the alcohol/chocolate/crisps/things with red dietary advice on the packet, I lost over a stone.
I hope your chatting back goes well
Cutting back yep, stupid spill chuck changed it and I didn’t notice !Thank you, i hope you get on well too. See no fads, just cutting back.
You've reminded me of a weight-loss "scam" many years ago in the UK. A guy was advertising in the back of newspapers a guaranteed way to lose weight. When you sent him your money he returned an envelope with a slip of paper inside. It said "Eat less food. Exercise more. If I remember correctly (and someone may have a better recollection than me) he could not be prosecuted because it WAS a guaranteed weight-loss plan. I'm also reminded of the old saying, "I'd do anything to have a body like that. Except diet and exercise."It is toxic and also very lucrative. Meal plans, dvds, exercise apps and so on. I asked my GP once, what’s the best plan to lose weight. They said ‘eat less, move more’. But never cut out bad things completely as you’ll crave them. Simple as that.
I usually do dry jan, but what annoys me is people asking to be sponsored for it! Why on earth should I give you money to not drink alcohol for a month?It amazes me the amount of people that complete it and act like its something monumental ?

What do you mean by things with red dietry advice on the packets? Just curious as I'm also on bandwagon of cutting out crapI’ve not put it on FB either. Last time I cut out the alcohol/chocolate/crisps/things with red dietary advice on the packet, I lost over a stone.
I hope your cutting back goes well
Fuck off you can be sponsored for it? Might consider it next year thenI usually do dry jan, but what annoys me is people asking to be sponsored for it! Why on earth should I give you money to not drink alcohol for a month?

I wouldn’t do it even if someone paid meFuck off you can be sponsored for it? Might consider it next year then
Yeah to be fair I’ve never lasted the month, even when I didn’t drink. Being told I can’t do something makes me do it more. I think January is depressing enough, so i enjoy drinking through itI wouldn’t do it even if someone paid me
Fridays with no Prosecco? Why would I
