Anyone watch Claire Richards Slave to Food last night?

[MrsBradleyCooper]

Just watching it at the moment - isn't she beautiful.

I can really identify with her relationship with food as I have a similar one!!

She seems like a really nice person too.

Yes I have watched both and am amazed how alike we are... I wish I could havd a real life buddy to finally tackle this food issue with, most of my friends are skinny minnies and the one's that aren't are fine with their size.

She is very attractive....

Just watched the first 2 epsidoes and this woman could be my twin.

i have the same issues with food and struggle almost daily with what to eat.
I definitely do the 'diet tomorrow so binge today'

Oooh bugger I haven't got sky... I, too, am like this. Food is just lovely and I am obsessed with it.
I've lost a lot of weight recently and went totally overboard, eating only salad and quorn- I made myself very ill. It's as if I am extreme when it comes to food, ond way or the other. It's only joining a thread on here that has made me realize that you can enjoy things in moderation. It's still a daily battle, though, and I suspect that it will be for the rest of my life.

i think she is gorgeous and should just be happy in her own skin

i wonder though if being in the industry she's in is doing her any good. and especially posing for magazines on and off, i guess that's to make extra money rather than for her own benefit

i would advise her to look for a great job or hobby she can really get stuck into - she seems clued up and intelligent. the music business really isn't into how people sound these days is it.

really like her show though and think she's dead funny. think her husband is nice too, both funny.

what are the other steps people doing? (they haven't all gone on to fantastic careers either have they?)

I think she seems lovely, but her husband is an arse.

"Is all that food for you?"
"Your face looks normal but your body looks huge"
"You only want surgery because you can't be arsed to lose weight"

I think her self esteem would be better if he wasn't constantly picking at her.

She is so beautiful and seems a warm, funny person. However, I do think she needs a wake up call about what is important in life and how fortunate she really is.

I agree with everything on this thread. I think she has come across as a lovely, warm person who I would love to be friends with Her Dh, otoh, seemed a bit of an idiot!!

Her body reminds me very much of mine (I admit I may have been quite a big Steps fan and I always seemed to relate to her as our body shapes our very similar) and her relationship with food, again, is very similar to mine.

I really hope she is going to find happiness at the end of this but nothing is ever that simple is it??

Btw, whoever asked about Steps, they are filming a reunion show which I think is going to result in them relaunching

I have to say the second programme showed a bit more clearly how childish she is.
She treats eating massive amounts of food (and they were massive) as like cheating in an exam. She doesn't seem to have the capacity to see what she is doing is harming no one but herself.when she had to keep a food diary she didn't and just made it up and then talked about ' oh well the nutritionist wouldn't want me to eat this but she isn't here and I want to'
She also has completely bought into the idea that she needs someone to perform some trick to stop her wanting to eat. But we all want to eat. I could eat a whole tub of Hagen daze but I don't because I know it is bad for me. And I need to live along time to support my kids.
She has no sense whatsoever of personal responsibility or personal accountability. It was odd

shes a very pretty girl but def has issues with food :( and tbh always will

if she doesnt eat she is like in steps and size 8

if she eats she goes overboard and stuffs her self and goes back to size 18

i was surprised by by the magazine in not making her comply with her in a bikini and wonder if she had to pay the money back
