I know I slag her off a lot and this will probably come across as contradictory of what I say about her but oh well. I’m on tattle so I can take the hate

I do think she’s insecure, I’m fat and I feel the same, more so lately, my daily thing I wear at the moment is the baggiest t shirt I can find to cover up my belly. I have resorted to eating hardly anything daily, which I know isn’t really the right way to go but I’m punishing myself I feel.

At least she has some friends, I know she seems to see less of them lately but at least some come round her house and she goes out occasionally. I would be happy with that tbh I have zero friends. absolutely no one, and that makes me a recluse, I too spend 90% of my time in the house. sometimes I hate it but sometimes I feel like it’s a comfort blanket and no doubt she feels like it too.

Anyway less wo is me, I know this thread is about Jess, they really are a family of pudding lovers aren’t they?!

I totally understand this too, it's like a vicious cycle, which is really hard to break sometimes. Please remember though, that you don't deserve to feel punished and regardless of your size or weight, you still need to eat. Without sounding like I'm offering unsolicited advice, does your GP have a Social Prescriber? They are really useful and can put you in contact with local groups that are often free, it sounds trite, but things like crafting or a book club etc. A few years ago I was in a similar position and I used the social prescribing service from my GP, attended a few groups which on paper werent really my kinda thing, but I actually enjoyed them and I've genuinely made some good friends from them, plus it got me out of the house and built a bit of my self esteem back. Not saying it's a cure all. But it's something tangible, free and you don't need to wait months for. Hope you start to feel better soon.

Sorry everybody else, just couldn't let that comment pass.

For me, Jess is the poster girl for how toxic the Instagram Body Positivity movement is. Since joining, she’s clearly gained an amount of weight that is putting a strain on her body and hindering her day to day life. And no matter what she says, she isn’t happy about it: she continues to lie about what size she actually is, makes a point of saying how she doesn’t plan on eating the many cakes and treats she cooks, and we don’t see her engaging in any activities to keep her mobile (remember that BBC video she did on being plus size at the gym?). Her lifestyle is clearly severely unhealthy - you can look at Paul’s transformation as a testimony to that. Even when she did acknowledge she gained weight, she was so quick to say that doesn’t mean she doesn’t love herself etc etc etc. I don’t see how it can be an inclusive community but people are scared to say “I’ve put on weight and it’s now having an impact on my wellbeing, so I plan on healthily losing a little bit. This doesn’t mean I don’t love who I am, but I recognise that my entire personality and livelihood isn’t connected to being plus size.”

You can’t preach about loving yourself on one hand, whilst lying about your actual size and not caring enough to maintain basic hygiene on the other. Watching her slide down that slope feels kind of perverse in a way?

If she ever does read here: Jess, I think you’re funny and articulate and you seem like a good person, but is a few years of body positive instagramming worth your health and mental wellbeing down the line? And also. You FUCKING DID stretch those shorts, pet.

We should rename this thread - people needlessly update other people on their personal hygiene etiquette
