This influencer couldn’t influence me to do anything. Apart from not follow her. Shes a yawn fest.

 

[heretoreaditall2019]

It is my absolute least favourite thing in the world when people say “my parents worked really hard for their vast wealth” (paraphrasing... humour me) - such a Tory, bootstrap mentality.

a) like really, I’m pleased for them, and for the kids inheriting it, but can we refrain from letting this go unspoken? I really feel that people who can fanny around all day as influencers should be up front that they got there because they were in the unique position to ride the blogger wave of the late naughties by having internet access, a good camera and money for these clothing hauls

and b) some of my friends have said things like “oh my parents started in a two up two down and they’ve just worked super hard to get here” and I feel like saying, so my single mum who worked full time and had to remortgage to pay off my absent father’s gambling debt didn’t work hard enough and that’s why she hasn’t paid off her mortgage two decades later, while your parents are younger and already retired?

I dunno it’s so insidious, and I can just imagine people without a deeply cynical or mature worldview being sucked into this and getting into debt over fripperies because nobody is being honest that they’re independently wealthy via bank of mum and dad.

Anyway, dolphin teeth and mortifying patois episodes notwithstanding I’d be delighted to go out with DV if it meant a slice of that Tuscan pie haha.

Harderfaster please write a book / start a podcast so I have somewhere healthy to channel my stanship. Everything you write is 10/10 so spot on

I find the Joker-esque smirk thing she does so weird

I'm so sorry you have to live with this condition, it sounds dreadful and I hope you are able to manage it as well as possible. I don't know a huge amount about it but as someone up thread has said, surely DV's health would be improved if she reduced her weight? I'm not here to weight bash or fat shame and perhaps it's harder to lose weight with this condition (?) but she is very over weight and that can't help.

Thank you, I appreciate that. It’s forever a learning curve, but I am determined to stay ahead of it.

Weight will make no difference to the condition itself, but yes - I’m sure being less heavy would help with managing it. But you’re also right, losing weight with fibro is difficult. PSOC is often a co-morbidity of fibro - which I’m sure most will know leads to weight gain/difficulty in weight loss. There’s also the fear of doing anything too strenuous, as the pain that you’ll have in response to the exercise is horrendous. It’s a vicious cycle.

At the end of the day, being sedentary isn’t healthy - but the pain we get in response is debilitating.

There are often days where you think “what’s the point”. You could exercise one day, and be bed bound for 6. Or you could do little and often for 7 days. I know which I opt for, but that’s after 20 years of “suffering” and having got to know my body. Perhaps DV isn’t there yet. But she’s also made a living out of her size, so probably isn’t motivated to work on it.

Sorry to hear that you suffer. I don't know much, if anything about fibro. She just doesn't seem to help herself does she?

I don’t think she’s motivated to. Her career is being big, and her whole persona is based on that. If she lost weight, she’d lose her identity.....and the world would see that she’s actually quite ordinary

There is nothing more boring than someone who punctuates sentences with ‘my gf’ this and ‘my gf’ that. Chill out, mate. (Congratulations on the heating pad, I’m sure it’ll just end up in the same drawer as all the other pain stuff you buy, vouch for and then never use again.)

 

[Romy]

I wonder if this new apartment actually has an elevator in the building otherwise lord knows how she’s gonna cope with all those stairs

Her girlfriend can lift her

 

[Squirrelfriend]

Does she just sit around moping waiting for her girlfriend to come back ...that’s way too intense .

 

[Hannahm.1992]

Noooo I remember this and I think it happened last year- so basically dani got a collab with Nike and a few other ps bloggers actually, anyways George went off on one on Twitter and basically had a rant saying it’s a kick in the teeth that some fellow plus sized bloggers got a deal with Nike and she as a plus sized woman who actually works out didn’t. She never named anyone but she also did the tweets the same day Dani put her Nike pictures up. Bethany actually called her out on it and basically said you should just be happy for your friends and then Dani did some subliminal tweets about it... and since then no one fucks with her. Typical George really throwing her dummy out the pram

I think I remember there was a thing when Bethany Rutter DJ ed at Georgina's wedding and she livetweeted it and said there was a creep at the wedding, and Georgina asked her to take the tweet down.


I'd just got married myself and was full of love for all things bridal so I remember following the day on twitter and being quite shocked.

 

[Gem_bear]

Just seen her little rant of Twitter “I keep a lot more of my life private and away from nosey, snakey people online” oh that’s unless she begging us to like an Ad on Instagram or buy her shoes etc

 

[Hannahchoo]

Can she please not make “mixed weight relationship” a thing. Is she for real? That phrase makes me feel ill.

 

[Hannahchoo]

100% she contacted that removals company with a copy of her followers and some sort of spiel about how many people will see the company name etc. Whatever about big companies like Amazon paying for this sort of advertising, you would think she would have just given the shoutout to the local company out of her own good will. Sad way to be.

 

[Pongoandperdy]

Free holiday i think

And then having the audacity to post multiple times in her Insta stories about “flying business class [alongside] Kate Moss” and drinking champagne all the way.

That coupled with watching her mad way of talking with her lips pursed over her little razor sharp dolphin / piranha teeth has pissed me off no end. She has the resources other people can only dream of, why doesn’t she get them sorted.

Her entire Insta during lockdown has consisted of some lame make-up/cleansing tutorials (so original), begging for free shit (in advance of the birthday), whinging about her “chronic pain” and that’s it. Where is the original content? And funny how the fibro doesn’t strike when getting off in Business Class or holidaying in Italy...

It really goes to show how she actually isn’t that interesting or creative or useful at all.

 

[Hereforthehottea]

Now shes got some more free shit from google..I mean christ have you seen her mum and dad house and the one in Italy?? When I moved into my first house we had no carpets and bean bags with a 1 year old! And what does she actually do? Fuckall apart from show us all her freebies and take shit pictures wearing shit clothes swinging a shit bag! Can you feel my rage hahaha

‘Swinging a shit bag’ bahahhahahaa

 

[torontoon]

Omg settle down !!! There’s no way anyone could ever know if this was in any way even remotely true!

From memory they all fell out over some BS bopo internal politics. I think it was BR and George that the original feud started with and Callie & Dani took sides with Bethany, as she positions herself as Queen of the Fats. I can’t remember the specifics of the fall out though.

There is SO MUCH to unpack in that threesome statement

I agree it was bopo politics, but only really followed FFFB on any regular basis so can't recall much either.

 

[GiftedNotFree]

She’s becoming like her bestie Callie ala “Dan and I” 🥱 just use her bloody name or “we” would be better!

 

[Missgobby124]

Her gf might be laughing all the way to the bank, but imagine having to have danie sit on your face

The imagery in my head right now is disgusting her face from that angle would be like a wobbly boiled egg

 

[Minkel]

I really don’t understand her dressy vs casual post, maybe I’m just blind but literally the only difference I can see is the shoes

Nope she swapped bags and added sunglasses. Now she will have to rest for the rest of the week!

 

[Nosey_bugger!]

I saw on here Grace wore something very inappropriate to a mutual friend’s wedding. Or something. I have never actually followed Grace.

Found it!

From the Arthritis Foundation (for ex)
"Fibromyalgia hurts more when you’re overweight. Having too much body fat and too little muscle also increases fatigue and worsens many other symptoms. Studies show that losing weight and exercising help dial down the pain while improving daily function."
Plus, despite the pain, it's very recommended to exercise 2 or 3 times a week, slow and regular exercise according to each one possibilities of course,. Apparently DV doesn't. Seems like she's driven everywhere for a start and only swims in her parent's pool occasionally.
I am fat and I guess most of the plus size followers are fat too. I don't hate myself or the fat people in general, on the contrary.
I am quite happy although I'd be happy to drop a little weight for comfort right now. Fat comes in all different kind of bodies, shapes, sizes...
Fatphobia exists even in the medical field but still, there are (medical) truths you can't deny. It's not prejudice but simple facts.

"despite the pain" easier said than done.

I have Crohn's disease and understand how fucking shit it is to deal with a crohnic illness, the last thing you're concerned about is how your weight may fluctuate, you just wake up hoping that you won't feel like shit or maybe you won't get hospitalised this month.

 

[Eastlondoner]

I’ve come to the conclusion about all these influencers. Her, Callie, Georgina etc- they must be fucking hard work for their blokes ( dani included)
