Long time lurker - first time poster! I used to absolutely love this girl, circa 2016 the Monday night vlogs were one of the highlights of my week (sad I know, but what else is a college student to do with all those exams!!)
I have gradually become so disinterested and desensitized to the whole Brogan thing, her content slowly but surely became so out of touch (I used to find her pretty relatable), as soon as she took to YT full-time it just became all about the £££££s. I thought maybe it was just me getting older and growing up, but finding these threads has confirmed that I am not going mad.
I don't like to be one to pass comment on personal appearances, but I too have noticed her reluctance/pure avoidance to acknowledge & address her weight. She would be so much more likeable if she did put her hands up to it like we all do rather than blaming a clothes-shrinking washing machine, or muscly calves...!!
My verdict is that nothing this girl does is by accident .... the 5 o'clock shadow she was sporting in the B & M vlog?? I reckon she will come out one day that she suffers from PCOS or something (I'm not saying that she does or doesn't, I'm not diagnosing or "throwing it around" - I have been diagnosed, and it's a horrible thing, and other people who do have my 100% sympathy!) but that way around might "soften the blow" (in her eyes) of accepting weight gain, and might even gain her some sympathy in doing so .... I don't know, I just find her reluctance to say "you know what guys, I've eaten more calories than what I burn, so I'm bigger than I used to be" in itself makes her so out of touch and dislikeable, and for somebody who preaches "body confidence" - by coming up with more and more excuses, she is actually making out like it is NOT OK to gain weight!!!
