Weightloss people and fitness people are crazy tbh. Well, most of them.

Do chalk drawings outside if it's nice, finger painting, as suggested above. Hide and seek around the house. Anything that really involves moving, I guess.

I've never been on a formal weight-loss diet so no first hand knowledge of this mysterious world but my friend joined an outfit called Slimming World (a bit like Weight Watchers, it seems).

It sounds weird and complicated to me - she talked about it constantly at first (almost obsessively), commenting negatively even on whatever I had eaten the day before, which was slightly irritating given I don't particularly need to lose any weight.

They're allowed to eat, as sins, (called Syns) stuff I wouldn't touch if I decided to diet and encouraged to buy the company's own expensive food products, of course (cuz eating Slimming World chocolate biscuits is okay apparently although I guess not eating any chocolate biscuits at all would be more sensible lolol).

She's been at it for about 18 months now and looks no different to me, is still eating junk regularly; the whole thing hasn't changed her eating habits for the better so I can't see the point of it.

She says she's made several 'really good friends' via her venture into the world of organised weight loss although it strikes me as odd that their occasional meet-ups are always to go out for a meal, never a walk in the countryside or a swimming trip.

I guess some people benefit from these organised herd endeavours but it seems more like they get sucked into buying things they don't need, receive little education on food nutrition and wise choices and turn into diet bores, never achieving their aim.

Aww, thanks.

I meant active toddler activites, though. One where I can hit my pre-pamdemic calorie burn levels.

Without getting into every activity I've tried, she isn't into toddler workouts, walks and biking is off and on for her (currently off) and trying to work out is hard since she loves to cling onto one of my legs....which is a bit hard to do for cardio haha. And I swear I'm not going to let her know all the pain I have known

Yes, exactly like this. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't just me and my personality setting these people off.

It is extremely off putting and cult-like to me, lol. And I swear I'm not going to let her know all the pain I have known

These are great ideas (like Nex's) and I get that impression as well.

It is almost like a lot of people can't just lose weight, be on a diet or work out without then lording it over someone to validate their choices. It just seems nuts to me. And I swear I'm not going to let her know all the pain I have known
