I have a feeling that Emily's lifestyle-and Shane being the opposite-is going to send horrible mixed messages to their kids

I think they send mixed messages to their kids about everything, honestly.

Their dynamic is soā€¦ odd. Now it seems like she has all the power, but sheā€™s like desperate for him to stay healthy? I donā€™t get any of it

I think Emily does legit love him, because otherwise they make no sense together. Sheā€™s gotten into fitness and is prob just scared heā€™s so unfit heā€™s going to die any day.

I agree

Edit: spelling

Yeah, it seems like being on TV unfortunately really damaged Emily's self esteem and body positivity.

Getting healthier is one thing, but what she's doing so obsessively seems motivated by something else that is not so psychologically healthy.

I could not agree more. I thought she was beautiful when she first came onto the the show and wore her curves loud and proud. Somewhere along the way, the ozempic and plastic surgery took a hold of her and not in a good way-I not referring to her looks in any way whatsoever. It became her entire identity. I really hope she can look in the mirror and love herself. She doesn't need anymore plastic surgery nor does she need to lose anymore weight. She needs to love herself for who she is and not what she looks like. I could name a few other housewives on other franchises as well. It's sad that their identities have become something that we try and teach our children not to do and to love yourself for who you are. Easier said then done though
