Not the first story you've told here that made me wonder but yes, both diagnoses (ASD and lazy AF) are equally valid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only see one, where he recommends going to Slimming World. Even that isn't a problem, imo. She has repeatedly said she wants to lose a bit of weight, all he has done is be a supportive partner. Her flying off the handle is absolutely befitting of this thread. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your stuff, your job is probably the wrong answer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest one being the scam that is slimming world. My mrs has finally clocked on to how it’s good for short term weight loss but not sustainable one for life. Our neighbour is constantly going on about going to slimming world 4/5 times and lost a stone but between that putting on more than that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it's great for those who need a kick-start and who don't have enough self-motivation but I can't see why folk would need to stay in it for a long period, once they've mastered the "system" then surely they could fly solo? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Shaker Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 (edited) Did Slimming World one summer with herself to see what occurred. Lost almost four stone in three months. Paid a fiver a week to have someone tell me to keep off bread, beer and full bunner Irn Bru. Was worth it for the weigh-in every Thursday when you'd line up and discuss how you thought you'd had a bad week and would be up a pound, only to disappoint the Karen's in the queue behind by dropping half a stone in a week.

Widge Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 We deliberately bought a small set of drawers for the spare bedroom for all of the make up, hair, nail crap that my other half possesses. It all fits in, I've seen in there, quite happily tidied away (by me). Every single day the place is left like an absolute bombsite and I can barely see the carpet. Problem is, I've asked her nicely a hundred times to try and be tidier, only to be met with "well it's my house too, you're not my parents". Doesn't help that I'm a bit of a tidy freak when it suits me, but one day I'm going to throw half of it out and see if she even notices. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_Wilkos Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Her and her family cannot work doors at all - they all slam them shut using a straight arm. Our front door is one of those where you have to push the handle up to close it properly, and I almost combust every time one of them leaves the house. Here is their procedure: Open door aggressively without pushing handle all the way down Slam it shut as hard as you can, making sure that the mechanisms you have left hanging out by not pushing the handle down are damaged as much as possible Leave without pushing the handle back up, so the door reopens anyway despite the unnecessary slamming. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think my first post in this thread was about her inability to work doors properly. In the year since, she's not learned how, and the external door is juuuuuuuuuuust about fucked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 No doubt it's probably been posted already but an inability to put the lid back on anything properly, this also ties in with the inability to turn a tap off properly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the impression people don't go to those places for dietary advice, but for the peer pressure. They have nightmares about being outed as having put on a pound in front of a group of other women, knowing they're all thinking, "look at this pathetic, ugly, fat, useless heifer," and it motivates them to starve/purge a bit more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
