All this talk of her photos vs in the wild / real life pics and I have to say this … I recognise that she’s not all that big. I’m a hefty size 20 on a good day and she’d be like a goal weight for me but the thing that peeves me is the photo angles and her magic mirror in the bedroom; if she’d just allow natural photos without straining to look a wee bit smaller probably no one would comment on her size IMO. It’s not about her size as much as her struggling to be something that she’s not. Let it goooo Karen, accept the early-middle-age spread and get comfortable with being average.
I feel a bit weird about this too. Im an eating disorder recovered person and I have been - I kid you not - every size in my adult life. Weight and size are sensitive issues for me so I literally do not discuss the intricacies of these triggers at all in my every day life and I espouse positive habits and intuitive eating as literal lifesavers.
If Sarah was a nice anonymous school Mum, I not look twice at her.
But she’s not. She’s a Kearnt. This uneducated, unqualified and obviously insecure woman who has preached at her followers to ‘wear the shorts’ and ‘wear the swimwear’ has changed her tune to imply weight loss = success, confidence and happiness and it’s just SUCH bullshit. Being a smaller person does not make you a better person. I’d argue that these jackasses are irredeemable at this point. What she is doing is damaging.
The obvious use of filters and angles vs. reality is misleading. This dickhead isn’t working hard at the gym. She’s hardly working in that OH&S nightmare or at anything really. I don’t think she looks fat, or even large in the apron she would have reluctantly donned for the school fete. She looks normal. She’s what she fears the most; a boring, broad shouldered, bog standard, middle aged Mum. She’s completely unremarkable. Even the pinkest of flamingos (stupid plagiarised metaphor btw) doesn’t stand out in a flock of other pink flamingos. She’s invisible and she HATES it.
Her only claim to fame is that her unmedicated ADHD husband spouts his sexist drivel in a way that appeals to Facebook boomers. Amirite, fellas? And even he has lost interest in her.
So while I don’t like commenting on size and weight, I am seething at the message Big Sez is projecting (despite Brad’s pumping, she is the biggest in her family, I will stoop that low) that thinner = better/happier/success. I will point out how freaking average, dull and mediocre she is. And unlike the rest of us Average Joes (who don’t have stadiums of followers to send conflicting messages to), she has nothing to fall back on; no personality, no passion, no spark, no education, no job, no real friends, no redeemable features superficial or otherwise.
She’s just nothing trying to convince the world and her straying husband that losing some weight will give her some worth. It won’t.
