To be fair to her, she is nowhere near as bad as half of the SWers, she does the odd ad but not that many and openly admitted it was because she needed money as she’s on maternity. I’m glad she’s finally had a baby and she looks amazing! I just wish she wouldn’t obsess so much over being an 8

That is literally the only thing with her I think... she obsess over numbers, whether it be clothes sizes or scales. way too much. its unhealthy. The such small amounts of food she eats as well. It isnt a healthy role model for James either.

But apart from that, she seems like a lovely person
 
I found her post about ‘syns in medicine’ concerning. If you’re sick, take medication don’t think about the sugar or the mysterious ‘syns’. It’s a really disordered way of thinking and probably lay a seed in some vulnerable people’s minds that they need to not medicate when they’re ill because it will give them an unexpected gain? Whether she’s counts the syns herself or not doesn’t matter it’s the fact she posted about it shows it’s a worry to her.
 
But yet most people who attend SW drink alcohol by the bottle every night and say ‘syns don’t count if they’re liquid’. If I need a strepsil, I’m having one.

I kid you not, one time I heard someone in slimming world (not the consultant) discourage people from moisturizing their skin/applying sun cream because the ‘oils in the creams sink down into your veins and turn into fat’. I was speechless. The consultant wasn’t sure what to say she probably rang the helpline asking for the syns in Nivea after group.

It gets so rediculous! We used to have a woman in my old group who wouldnt have a bath the night before weighing because she was determined she absorbed some of the water. The consultant told her that was nonsense but if she feels that way then that's up to her.
It's the type of things these people do though! I've heard many take laxatives the day before so they can make sure they go toilet before weighing just to make them a tad lighter!
 
There is no denying she has done amazingly well. I think she’s probably petrified of putting the weight back on - I am willing to bet she spends a significant amount of her day thinking about food, whether that’s planning, buying, preparing, thinking, counting, posting…sad when you think about it.

I do feel bad for her!
She's lost weird but the psychological side of it is still there.
This is where I think people should get a kind of therapy to help their relationship with food.

The food only deals with the body bit.
What about the mind bit?
That’s just as important IMO and explains why so many of them put the weight back on.
