Supersize Vs Super Skinny Series 5 Ep 8

this makes Me feel fat and skinny at the same time

Many people don’t realize that over eating can be an eating disorder too

When Brooke told Marie that she probably should try eating a little bit more of the food since that’s what they came there to do and Marie said “ I don’t think that’s the name of the game“ my jaw dropped because that is literally exactly the name of the game and exactly what they are there for.

It's so upsetting to me that Marie seems to be clearly suffering from an eating disorder and it's never truly addressed. She's so in denial it makes her seem like an unpleasant person when she really isn't. Someone needs to have a serious talk with her and get her some help.

my body dysmorphia literally makes me feel like both of them on different days

Marie: never finishes one meal. Bashes Brooke 24/7 rude Brooke: Eats everything, no complaints, doesn't bash her diet.

You can literally see that Marie is disgusted by food, just by the way she chews it. She's even struggling putting healthy food in her mouth. I can see the mental battle she is having, just by the excessive blinking and facial expressions, whilst she's eating.

I love how Brooke ploughs through the diet swap without a word of complaint. She's a really sweet girl and really shows determination to lose weight. Marie, on the other hand, does the opposite; not clearing her plate, judges what Brooke eats like white bread and cheese. She also thinks "super foods" are healthy but she's lacking certain nutrients. No wonder she didn't gain weight

I hate how the “super skinny’s” are always giving advice and judging the “super sized” folks. Like you’re both on the show for a reason, not just one of y’all.

I love Brooke, she didn't complain once, ate everything, and kept a good temper against Marie who is honestly quite difficult to put up with.

As someone who has been overweight for most of my life, the dynamic between Brooke and Marie really bothered me. I find that overweight people always get judged for their habits, and skinny people always get a pass even if they are not necessarily healthy. Glad to see Brooke was successful

that woman saying she doesn’t care if she dies, and she’s ready to go whenever, truly shattered my heart. I myself am overweight, and I never want to have to go through that feeling. 💔

I hate that the thin ones always act superior that the larger ones, they both have issues not just the obese person...

Marie's situation is so not taken seriously. She isn't just skinny, she's mentally unwell and needs psychological help. it's most likely born from trauma, the need for control.

I love how Brooke honestly admits and accepts how much she eats and the unhealthy food she eats. She’s trying her best to see what’s going on for her. But Marie keeps insisting that she’s better and she’s overall just more healthier when she is just actually unhealthy and judgmental.

The whole "I think she quite enjoyed the porridge" "It was baby food, I wouldn't have it again." exchange made me lol. As soon as they said that Marie was into superfoods, I rolled my eyes. I hope the fact that she was eating half as many calories as she should have been sinks in.

"health conscious Marie" more like eating disordered

Marie is what kale would be like as a person.

I love how they send them to USA to meet the final boss

I used to be really fat. I had 390lbs in September last year, and when I saw that number it was way more than I thought it is. I was really mad at myself. It really hit me hard, and I realised I got to do something. Not just sit and wait for problem to resolve itself. It was a life changing decision, because I have probably been on the verge of developing some serious health condition... So at first I got my diet plan created on NextLevel Diet, which was super helpful to me. In the first two months of following my eating plan I lost 42 lbs. And by February of this year another 40, for the total of 80lbs in 5 months... After that I started slowly exercising. First just by walking, and eventually I joined a gym and now I go five days a week, still walking on the weekends. I realised that I am stronger than I ever thought I have been. Never had any confidence, and now I can run, do burpees, do push-ups... I take these small victories!!
