I met a slimming buddy at the group I go to, but I'm worried that she is 'going to crash and burn'
Every week is loosing 2 to 3lb a week but she's never happy with and always wants more which is unrealistic. For lent she is planning on having no syns until the end of April (a friends birthday do). I'm worried this is so unrealistic. I think she isn't looking at things long term (similar amounts to me to loose). That being so strict she'll fall off the wagon repeatedly and may even end either feeling it's not fast enough or too miserable from being so strict (thats if she manages it) and give up the diet completely (she has done slimming world before)
Have other people tried being so strict and it gone horribly wrong? Or have other people had experiences of being a lot stricter and it working well for them?
Do people think I should encourage her as she does have a goal of another stone by then (which I think is maybe too high). I feel bad for thinking she can't manage it may give up altogether, I feel like I'm not being supportive. I wanted others thoughts and advice as I'm not sure what I should be doing.
