MLM Bot Watch 42

[Spongebobette]

This is the 42nd thread in a long series about the dangers of network marketing/ MLMs such as Forever Living, Ariix, NuSkin, Arbonne, Younique, TS Life, and MANY MANY more!
Posts here will give examples of the lies told by 'top bots' who portray luxury lifestyles in order to lure in new victims and of the other techniques and brainwashing used by MLMs
Over 90% of people who join an MLM end up LOSING money. Always bear that in mind when considering paying money to join!

So those rumours about her signing up to be at the top of Total Shite Life appear to be untrue. Is she still under investigation, I wonder?

The normal under hand tactics are in full swing 'I have one more place left to personally coach one more person in September - PM me for more information' what a load of bollocks. I see that the head office purge has begun again #groundhog day

Yup, it would seem that for the time being that Salon is out of the MLM game. At least her residual income means she hasn't got to work so soon after having a baby. Oh wait..

What do you mean by ‘head office purge’? @Paddy1234

Every year/qtr they spout the same old tactics. They try using the DM to get people to believe they are special and are going to be trained individually by the up line - when in reality if they had 20 people contacting them they would take them all on. Luckily in the down turn they will be fortunate to get one person now. I can't believe head office can't think of anything new and just regurgitate same old crap tactics everyone has seen before.

Those tactics have worked in the past though, which is why they all keep trying them. Obviously with FLP and other established MLM's they are now saturated and people are leaving and are unable to be replaced.

There really isn't any other way for them to do it, as soon as they get someone genuinely interested in what might be involved they have them where they want them. Somehow, it works.

Yawn posted a few days ago about wanting to mentor 5 people and only having space for 5, shortly afterwards there was only one place left, it works because people think it's such an amazing oppurtunity that 4 people signed up quickly, and with only one space left you have to get in quick.

The only reason it's not working now is because the market is saturated and the anti-mlm stuff that is all over the internet has made a huge change. MLM's are ridiculed now instead of being something that a lot of people hated but it wasn't really something you spoke about.

They likely genuinely cannot understand why it's not working any more.

You cannot lose that amount of weight in 24 days, which is the maximum time that one of the FLP weight loss programs allow for. C9 followed by the FIT15. It is not physically possible.

People believe this crap because they want to believe. Looking for a quick fix for weight loss. They believe it because us women are bombarded with 384728 adverts telling us it's possible. Then you have the people who post photos to prove it's possible and pretend to be your friend to sell you a fallacy and make money off you.

In a years time Yawn will still be posting about trying to lose weight, there will be more C9's and whatever else, and she will still be struggling. The same with all the others.

All of Messiah's disciples are going on about how awesome the TS-Life products are, has anyone seen any proof that anyone has physically held one of the products in their hands? Have any products shipped out to anyone?

It's been a week and as far as I can see nobody has received any products yet.

Dying with laughter.. yawn's before an after photos. She's wearing the same outfit and applied a different filter. Sorry, I don't see ANY difference apart from the filter!

14lb loss in 3 weeks is utter bullshit. It will all be back on in 3 months. I feel so sorry for her.

No sympathy from me, she is peddling this shit to vulnerable women, some of whom may go on to develop eating disorders. Either way it's body shaming, you are rubbish if your body doesn't resemble a models, look at me and how awesome I am for losing weight, i'm better than you.

That is her message. The back and front images look indentical in weight, and the side view appears as if she is just holding her stomach in.

I agree her pics look the same except side view sucking her tummy in.
Whiterangey I have so much respect for you telling your story on here a few days ago. To see yawn bodyshaming and peddling such lies is just vile.
I just wish forever lies would finally crumble, and then the rest of the mlms follow.

And no sympathy for her from me either. She is a vile conwoman.

The joke is on her @Whiterangey . She's the one body shaming people, yet doing nothing for her physical or mental health by pretending to go on a health kick. I'd imagine there's a lot of comfort eating done to make herself feel better about what she does for a living.

The only thing she lost as far as I can see is her sunburn lines

Thanks @Norma27 it's easier to talk about it on here as i'm anonymous, I also recognise that i'm sick, this is the third time, last go round was 14 years ago, the first time I was in my teens.

What is hard is that my brain keeps telling me stupid things. I felt absolutely completely smug at seeing Yawn's progress photos, she sucks at weightloss where as I am brilliant and have it completely under control. If i'm being honest I want praise and for others to be jealous of me because weight loss is so hard and i'm rockin it!

In reality I look like shit, i'm thin although not yet underweight there is a 35lbs difference in the healthy range for my height and I was quite near the top, now i'm heading for the bottom and it won't be long before i've reached unhealthy weight. I'm 'big boned' so I should be at the top end.

Not that any of that matters my eating habits are unhealthy. Yesterday was a microwave macoroni cheese from Marks and Spencers. Calories are 684 in that so I put it on my plate and divided it in half. Winning in two ways, only half those calories and showing that I can resist temptation to eat the whole lot. That made me feel good, that made me feel happy. That was all I ate yesterday, i'd eaten about 900 calories the day before, which made me feel good as that isn't too bad, but then I felt terrible. I've never purged and I never will so once it is down it stays down.

Objectively that is terrible and it's quite clear I have a problem, with that in mind and a description of my eating and calories, I present to you the Forever Living C9

Let's play spot the difference, it's a hard challenge, I think the only difference is i'm not exercising.

@Whiterangey thank you, you are brave.

Yawn and her ilk make my blood boil, the way they encourage body shaming. And she has a young daughter, what a terrible example to set.

@whiterangey you are so brave. Promise us you will get support when you feel ready (((hug)))

And don't waste any time on yawn if she makes you feel bad. She is a cowbag and deserves none of your time xx

Whiterangey you are a bloody amazing person. I really want to give you a hug xx

Support for an eating disorder before you get underweight is woefully lacking in the UK, especially for adults. It's shitty for children as well, but more so for adults. The first time help was sought for me as a teen from my GP he said to 'eat more food'. Obviously I lost a lot more weight and did get help after that. But it's shitty.

I will get there, despite what i've been saying I'm struggling to see myself as sick, I know exactly what i'm doing and I am 100% in control. Objectively I know i'm sick, but I don't feel sick, because then i'd have to stop doing what i'm doing. I do have people around me who know what is going on so I do have support.

It's true though, limiting calories to a stupidly low amount is unhealthy, whether it's an eating disorder or a C9. What happens if you liked how you felt on the C9, when you were eating so little and losing so much weight, obviously we know that on the C9 you only lose a lb or 2 of actual fat because the rest of it is water, but in certain people it will set off an eating disorder, especially considering the amount of people i've seen do the C9 who do not need to lose any weight.

I sense the MLM thing of instant gratification is about to strike again.

Yawn is asking ( "for a friend", yeah, right) about boxer dogs. What's the betting by the end of the weekend she has one? FFS.

Meanwhile in other news .....Roomie is living the dream this weekend in a caravan with the shittest looking pizza I've ever seen, a bottle of wine, a can of beer and a tacky motivational quote.
Attraction marketing fail there methinks

@OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny that is the funniest photo ever!
