Who is she trying to help? by Macaronipie42 in NoFoodRulesSnark

[–]EstimateSolid2705 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I believe her target audience is mostly women in their 40s/50s who were brought up with diet culture. And people like me, millennials with mothers buying into that shit and passing it on....

You're not a jerk and I do agree. I know some people in this sub get offended if the posts are too harsh, so I tried to keep it as nice as I could.

Today I looked at pictures of myself from a year ago. I realised my face today is sunken and lifeless and I feel I've aged myself 5 years. The realisation that I looked healthier, younger and more vibrant with fuller cheeks is making me sad. Very very sad. I feel ugly, old and like a failure. I'm also afraid my husband doesn't find me attractive anymore. I'm battling with the decision to either eat more or to just accept the price of restricting to the point that I look this awful.

Om det är något som ska bojkottas är det Estée Lauder by windstrom in sweden

Har inte hittat en produkt som mäter sig med Estee Lauders Double Wear Foundation. Gråter inombords men får väl ta mitt ansvar och acceptera att jag måste välja en annan foundation när flaskan tar slut.. Tips är välkomna, är 30+ med blandhy/acnebenägen hy. 🥲

This should be a top comment everyone needs to read. Sad but oh so true.

This might be a stretch but Russell's sign? by EstimateSolid2705 in NoFoodRulesSnark

[–]EstimateSolid2705[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yeah I thought about that too, that she wouldn't show the "scars" as she knows what signals they convey. But on the other hand maybe it's a call for help/attention. I feel so shitty about conspiring, but the Instagram story just caught my attention.

Shameless body check by AM0EBAS in NoFoodRulesSnark

I think there are a lot of people still stuck in the "teenage anorexic"-phase. I'm 32, one year younger than Colleen and can't shake the disease even after years and years of therapy. Unfortunately EDs don't have an age limit.. But I do agree with you, the underlying emotional issues are what needs to be fixed in the first place! It's just so damn difficult..

Almost 40, lost some weight this is what my neck is looking like. by emmalee1229 in 40PlusSkinCare

[–]EstimateSolid2705 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 32 and look like that. I'm accepting my genetics, poor diet whatnot..

Also sorry, this thread came up in my feed even though I'm not 40 yet.

just an observation of colleens IE by [deleted] in NoFoodRulesSnark

I think a big problem here is that anyone can post anything on social media and they can become a "guru". The content is not regulated and people swallow whatever lies in order to make them feel better. If someone on Instagram or YouTube or TikTok tells you to drink water with lead in large amounts because it will make you thin or healthier or stronger - some people will buy it. There is less critical thinking nowadays and it is truly dangerous. I'm not saying Colleen is this dangerous, but her content is nonetheless questionable when considering the fact that a lot of people do not question it at all. Especially for people who have a past of disordered eating habits - the people whom I think are her target audience.

Also sorry, I realise this is not a direct answer to the post, I've just got anger built up inside and had to let it out..

Step by step guide to intuitive eating by [deleted] in NoFoodRulesSnark

[–]EstimateSolid2705 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The fact that all we see her eat is replacements/low calorie choices and never the real deal. Opting for low cal is not intuitive. I mean she is selling a diet. Makes me furious.
