Slimming World support thread 2

meg72

Took some things down to our local church for their summer fair and got into a conversation with a lady I know about SW as she noticed I had lost weight. Was chatting away and telling her about the group and that DD and GD come with me when someone I didn't know overheard and joined in. well it was a virtual attack really, telling me it was disgusting to be taking my 14 year old DGD to a slimming club and didn't I know I could make her Anorexic and that slimming world were a money making machine and just drumming up trade by taking these youngsters. She was very forceful and didn't want to listen when I tried to explain that all DGD is being taught is healthy eating and that slimming world don't stand to gain anything by her going, it free for teens, and far from drumming up trade, if educating her now saves a life long weight problem then SW for any other club wont be making money. I do wish I had known about healthy eating when I was young
it would have saved me years of Yo-Yo dieting and at times being very miserable and hungry


Does anyone else take a teen and if not would you think it a good idea.


This encounter has quite upset me so would love to hear what others think.

meg~ try to not let bigoted people like that upset you.
There are teens go to my class & they seem to get something from the class.
We are all entitled to our point of view but people who dont respect that make me mad.

Meg I think you are being wonderfully helpful taking your Granddaughter along, I wish someone had shown me the way when I was younger. Don't let ill advised people upset you when you are potentially giving her the greatest gift you ever could - a long and healthy life Xx

Tbh I take my toddler with me to sw? I figure she's picking up bits now and she seems to prefer fruit n veg over sweets etc? But am I damaging her by taking to a sw group? Am I !!!!? I'm learning a sensible approach to food that ill pass on to her rather than skip lunch have 2 kitkats instead and it's all okay?
Meg there are teens who pop in at the end of my group and seem to be quite well adjusted to the sw way?
Tell that woman to piddle off none of her business and yeah she has an opinion but you don't want to hear it!? Put her out your mind now
