Slimming world really changes people lives

It’s honestly like brainwashing, imagine not allowing yourself to eat a quiche with a crust 😂
One of the SW instas I follow has just announced she is back on plan, went to her friends for the night where they were all having a takeaway and she took her own horrific slimming world creations to eat instead!! How sad is that really. I remember being in that mindset and it is crazy to think about now 🤣

Is she trying to sell her own weight loss group?? What’s she going to tell people? To lose weight you need to do 25k steps, gym and swim every single day? She has a really poor relationship with food and exercise. It’s all or nothing and I would never pay her to tell me how to lose some weight.

Same, I just find her really strange to the point she's pissing me off.
 
This is what I despise about slimming world is it reels people in with guise of 'no restriction, eat what you want'
But then in reality promotes restriction covertly
By placing massive syns on most foods on most takeaways and convienience foods knowing it will make members stay away as most members won't eat anything above a few syns in one sitting.

They then create a vicous cycle by encouraging members to fill up on potatoes, pasta and rice.
When someone weightloss stops or plateaus eating this way they suggest SP
They then tell you not to spend too long on sp and start filling up on carbs again.
Then if you're not losing again tell you to priortise free lean meats and speed.
So people then begin to associate lean and speed with losses and carbs become a fear food as people lose less on the weeks they eat them.
In reality carbs are fine when well portioned but SW does not teach portion control.

If you look through the SW hashtag there is some serious disrordered eating

People lose eating like these photos but its not sustainable. They get fed up and leave SW.
Go back to eating 'normally', gain massively as metabolism is messed from restricting.
They return to SW and the cycle begins again.

Short version is if we decided to not take €4pp and go online and take the government handout instead we had to reinterview for our jobs, even though we were self employed, they had our license and made the decisions. I had a small group and couldnt refuse 350pw for maybe €50 🤷‍♀️ i decided at the very start to support every person for free. I ran free online groups, rang people everyday, sent cards etc. Then they decided 3 weeks in to shut down to charge people and my hand was forced. Almost 5 years running groups.......they push you every week to get members. No number is enough. I reached 70, i was told to get more. I ran groups most weeks at a loss because of their cut. I loved it. I loved my members but they took all the joy out of it. The pressure is immense.

Someone needs to go undercover and expose them because they market themselves as this caring auntie, when they're just a ruthless, greedy business model

I do believe under it all, there is a heart but like any huge organisation it depends who is in charge. I had a dog of a manager. She was disgusting. I was worn out. If you have loads of large groups you can make thousands a month but if you are in a small area with 1/2 small groups, its torture.
