To get irritated by patronising slimming world?!?

[TheDonOfWinterville]

I'm not overweight but want to lose a stone for my self. So I joined slimming world only to be greeted with language such as "heap mounds of spaghetti", "shove it all in your face" and "pile mountains of fruit onto your plate" etc etc!!!

Sorry but isn't mountains and mounds of food what makes people fat in the first place?? Also at group the consultant said we all have weight problems. Actually, I don't - I just want to lose a stone to feel better! I'm clinically within my ideal weight range so no I don't have a weight problem actually! I have a good problem in which I make crap choices.
It makes me quite angry and is putting me off going back. All this talk of "piling" and "mountains" etc etc is like slimming world have thought "we know what kind of language will appeal to the greedy fuckers".

Sounds like you have a poor consultant, OP.
"Free food" just means that you don't need to measure, not that you should overeat: it seems that your consultant is encouraging unhealthy eating, and really is not explaining the plan correctly at all.

Thanks for the concern PoppyBird .

Yes, I have some loose skin but have done my best to minimise it by exercising whilst losing weight and using Nip & Fab cream regularly. It's not fantastic, but has helped to some degree.

I'd still much rather have a bit of loose skin on an otherwise reasonably fit & healthy body than still be morbidly obese with health problems.

TBH, the only person who's ever likely to see me naked on a regular basis is DH and he also prefers my newer shape .

I have heard people say that loose skin has made them wish they never lost weight in the first place, but I really don't feel that way. Maybe mine just isn't that bad?
