View submission: Does Slimming World make sense?
When I went to weight watchers I'd already been bulimic for years and my BMI was in the 'healthy' range (which really shows how bullshit that is!) There was no screening of any kind, and nobody questioned that I was using less than half my allocated points most days and then having double once a week in a binge (that was allowed!), or that I was losing weight far faster than was safe, or that my goal weight was right at the very bottom of a healthy BMI. I was applauded when I announced to the group I'd lost 5lbs in a week despite weighing less than 10stone. I was even in the magazine, I fasted for a week before the photos and binged and purged later in the day after they taken.
The leaders aren't trained to spot worrying signs for eating disorders, and the corporate bosses don't give a shit.
There's nothing here!
