Gosh she’s just so entitled!
How dare she accuse the people at the bottom of the chain of lying?!!
It must be a massive blow for them if they have to apply for a mortgage again, but all
that matters is how it has inconvenienced Laura 😡
Not an ounce of empathy or sympathy for anyone but herself.
She’s absolutely insufferable and spoilt!

See, I didn't think she was showing off.

How is she any different to your mate on fb who shares a pic or two?

She hasn't blogged every second (that we know of yet but will stand corrected if she does!)

She has put up a couple of pix where you can hardly see where she is, just nice weather and a beach...

I am not her biggest fan and am also sick of her being sick, but I just don't think she's boasting or showing off about being away on holidays. Fair play to her I'd love to be on a warm beach with a cocktail in my hand 😊

There's a reason all this is being posted on her husbands Instagram and not hers. The majority of her followers won't see the privilege and will continue to buy into her woe is poor Laura content.

Imagine moaning the way she does knowing that you have a holiday like this booked in January when most will be struggling to pay bills.
She's really not a very nice person 😕

I’m really torn with her.
One minute I feel desperately sorry for her; I struggle with mental wellness at times and I know how awful it is to feel so low.
But then she has a sort of public emotional breakdown, which ups her engagement, and what do you know, the very following day she’s teasing an exciting new project/stuff she wants you all to buy.
In this case, stuff she wouldn’t be seen dead in, that she’s gonna tell all her followers how much she loves it all.
I’m torn between thinking she’s too vulnerable for social media, and thinking she’s a brilliant manipulator and salesperson.
Massive apologies for the cynicism 😞 😳

Laura has ripped/burst out of the dress look at the front it’s ripped as she tried to squeeze into another dress that’s way too small for her.

Laura is either too young or has a short memory because plus sized clothing is more available than ever thanks to the internet. I don’t want to go back to the bad old days of only being able to find something at Evans, even if it is “on the high street”. I can now have anything I want delivered to my home and can send it back if it’s not what I want.

Why doesn’t she do something good with her influence, like advocating for better healthcare or employment rights for fat people but no, clothes, at a time when 1) the selection is better than ever thanks to the internet and supermarkets and 2) retail outlets for all sizes are disappearing.

She is ridiculous

She's whingeing now it's Mother's Day about feeling 'empty and sad'. Granted we have no knowledge other than what she stated (about being told to lose 14 stones for fertility help) but if she was really really serious about trying to become a mother she'd be putting her energy she spends wallowing, moping and feeling sorry for herself, into cleaning up her diet, relationship with exercise and building out a regime to get her health and fitness on some sort of track. She makes a mockery of people with genuine struggles who have killed themselves doing everything possible to maximise their chances.

Im going to try and explain this the best I can without meaning to offend anyone, but I really disagree with her latest story about how 'weight is not an indicator of health' etc..

Now I completely understand that for example everyone 25 stone isn't unhealthy, rugby players who are all muscle and eat clean, workout etc are different than someone the same weight and don't move all day and eat Mc Ds 3 times a day, however I feel Laura isn't the person who should be 'promoting' this idea. As far as I can tell from her stories she doesn't work out or even get her HR going at all. Even a fast walk for 10 mins is classed as exercise.

Excess weight, especially when it leads to obesity, can increase the risk of numerous health problems such as heart disease, diabetes, joint issues, this is a fact that people overweight do have more health issues.

So although weight doesn't dictate health, being overweight like Laura AND not choosing to eat healthier and exercise will lead to a decline in health.

The bit about less value I believe as health in many cases we don't choose, but don't think that relates to the issues above.

Long story short, no, weight doesn't equal health but lifestyle does and Laura is not someone who should be promoting her lifestyle.

I completely agree with the above.
This hits very close to home as my lovely aunt was diagnosed with bowel cancer recently and due to the fact she is very overweight they were unable to operate as it wouldn’t be safe, she also wasn’t eligible for chemotherapy as her blood pressure was very high as she had more than normal pressure on her lungs. The consultant who couldn’t have been more lovely and sympathetic said this was due to her weight. She sadly passed away yesterday. I’m not saying this to frighen anyone but weight directly impacted her health negatively 😥

I’ve posted this many times, but Laura has no interest in size inclusivity, in my opinion.
She’s simply stamping her feet, as she so often does, because she can’t get every she wants in her size.
I don’t follow her any more, and only pop into this thread from time to time to see if anything has changed.
It seemingly hasn’t.
She’s like Verruca Salt.

Someone in the GLY group just asked if anyone knows of any plus size friendly hair salons. She doesn’t like the mirrors 🫠 How do these people actually cope with day to day life?

If she is asking about chair size then fine. But everyone looks like a walrus in a hairdresser’s mirror. Get a grip.

I think you’re all right - we all do it - think we look okay at home and then someone takes a photo of us and we’ve turned into a linebacker with dinner lady arms. I now make my hub take a photo of me from all angles before I go out or I pick an outfit for an event. I had a beautiful jumpsuit from Phase Eight and thought I looked great. Photo says “family fortunes noise”

poor Laura has took photo after photo from the front and told herself that this size 26 comes up small and that it’s okay to look big next to Lottie because shes a size 12 etc etc. and on that basis she’s written us a book telling that we too could feel okay about ourselves if we never leave our comfort zone. Rock up on the telly tho and sit in a normal chair or not being able to put your heels flat cos it’s sore on your feet and it’s a bit of reality dose.

i write every time I have no problem with Laura and I really don’t. sometimes this thread does descend a bit into “she’s fat!” which I think is a shame. She can be fat (I am) but she’s so unhappy and telling us she’s really happy. I want her to be happy and I want that to happen however she wants but she’s kidding herself and us that she’s managed it at her current size.

I wholeheartedly believe Laura Adlington is lying, it's absolute b*llocks that she's happy as she is, she is as miserable as sin, and she desperately wishes she wasn't obese.
Laura's unable to have children, and has a mother who took her to slimming world as a child for a start!! It is well established that a parents response to an overweight child can cause a lifelong issue with obesity,

Laura Adlington has a massive issue with her weight and I suspect, a massive issue with her mother too.

Your not projecting in my direction Laura, the ONLY person you are kidding is YOURSELF and the other insta huns who make a living from being unhealthy and obese 🙄

Instead of mocking the people who do want to be healthier and live longer she needs to get some overeating psychology treatment and stop lying. She cannot kid a kidder.

I though their guest on this week’s podcast episode was great, and it was no doubt beneficial for them both to speak to someone who has had to make peace with being childfree/childless depending on preferred terminology.

I do still find the whole anger and upset at pregnancy announcements tricky to understand, speaking as a person who doesn’t have children or particularly want them. People who take issue with it talk a lot about compassion and empathy but I don’t think it’s massively empathetic to make someone else’s joyful news all about you and expect them to adapt to your needs.

Omg that video she shared pissed me right off. This time last year I was miserable being overweight (by about 2 stone so not loads). I've worked my ass off this year to lose some weight and do you know what, I am different, I'm way more confident, I'm fitter, healthier, I don't have crippling self doubt, I've got more career confidence, I have changed and it's for the good. I don't have the same things holding me back and I'm proud of that. If other people choose not to lose weight then fine but don't share that shit as if people have wasted their time or energy or are less of a person because they decided to change.

In my opinion she needs to give her head a shake. It makes me so angry that she is promoting this trash. It’s like all medical research can just get in the bin, Terrys mint balls are the real reason for the season.
I’m overweight, I’ve lost weight, I feel better. That is a FACT. I’m on blood pressure meds because I was overweight, I now weigh less, my blood pressure has come down. I like junk food but I know that burying my head in the sand and eating uncontrollably is not good for me. I don’t plan to be in hospital with congestive heart failure when I’m 48 and go “ah it’s OK because I loved the body I’m in”. You can eat nice things if that’s your vibe, without ridiculing those who choose to do something to better their physical and mental wellbeing.

I like Laura. Watching her stories and posts I can’t help but feel she’s extremely depressed, hence everything seems completely unachievable to her. I’ve just finished four years of gruelling IVF treatment- my infertility is due to endo, not weight. It’s been challenging physically and mentally and to not have a child at the end of it is devastating, but we also knew it was time to stop. The impact on my health has been enormous. Even if she started to lose weight, I wonder if she’s simply not robust enough (at present) to go through the process.

I realised how much of a twat she is when she went to the Maldives and looked like she had just found out terrible news each day. If you can't have a laugh with your husband in the Maldives - what's the fucking point?

I posted similar on another thread;

My Mum is constantly telling me how awful I look having put on weight, asks me daily if I’ve lost anything, and always tells me not to eat too much.

Even if we’re out to dinner, she remarks if I’m ordering something she thinks I shouldn’t.
It’s so miserable and frustrating.

I’m trying to do something about my weight but I’m doing it my way - slowly and sensibly.

My Mum constantly makes me feel that I’m only a worthwhile person if I look good.
After my Dad died she started saying that he always wanted me to lose weight. Or she’ll say it would make her so happy if I lost weight.
It is bloody hurtful.

I went on my first diet aged about 11.
I wasn’t fat; I just developed early really.
But it was thought funny for family members to call me “fatty”

I ended up way too thin at 16, and have had a disordered eating relationship with food ever since,

I think we do need to use the right language when talking to young people about weight.
The focus should be 100% on health, not looks.

Haha the speculation on the size of her mortgage here is ridiculous! No one here has anyway of knowing how much equity they had in their previous house, or how much stretching to their limits means to them. That’s completely subjective, what one person feels their limit is could actually not be that high at all if they aren’t a financial risk taker.

I don’t think it’s beyond the scope of the conversation to wonder how someone who flogs crap dresses and Hello Fresh online can afford a million pounds+ house.

Laura Adlington is the actual person who gives fat women a bad name!

She is lazy, grumpy, miserable, nasty, has no taste and she wears ridiculous clothes that don't fit her at all!

Nothing, not even a million pound home will make her happy because she is utterly miserable on the inside.

Only Laura could turn a new career, newish husband and new home into misery and a mocking event. She's rude, ungrateful and a down right misery guts. Woe is Laura in her brand new million pound house!

Shes given up her job and sold her soul to become an absolutely rubbish influencer, she wouldn't influence me to buy anything! She taints everything with misery!

Toddle off Laura, your tantrums are pathetic!
