you are spot on. Pretending to be a size 12 is like saying she thinks being a 16/18, which she obviously is, is a bad thing. And I remember her comment about the 16tops being massively oversized which again, is an awful thing for people to read. So in a round about way, she is guilty of shaming people about their weight in the exact way she is complaining about and getting sympathy for.I don’t think anyone should be unkind about her weight/comment on it but I think she also has to take some ownership of the fact that she attracts attention to her weight/body shape by lying about her size all the time and squeezing into things that are clearly too small. She obviously struggles to accept her body shape and that’s fine but maybe just speak to your followers about it more openly instead of trying to hoodwink people into thinking you’re a 12? And if she started speaking more positively about her size/sizes in general then that would probably help everyone cos as people had said before going on about size 16 tops being “absolutely massive” etc isn’t great for people watching that are that size or larger
she needs to start being real, either be happy and content with her body or do something about it. And not a diet that she promotes for a few days and then gives up on. She needs to educate herself on what a healthy lifestyle is.
