Emma Drew #8 Silence is golden, house decor’s rotten. Cancer diagnosis has been forgotten

[Boostar_]

I’m absolutely baffled why she’d buy a size 16 dress. I’d say she’s about the same size as me, but she has a wobblier tum. Im a bloody size 20/22! And I’m taller so my weight is more evenly spread!

I understand her buying maybe one piece in a size 16, as a kind of "mini goal". I recently bought a pair of non-stretch Next jeans in a 14 as a bit of motivation. I can get them on and buttoned but they are still a touch too tight to be comfortable.

I do hope she starts eating better and exercising before that initial weight loss boost from the surgery is over and she loses motivation (ha). I know how soul destroying it is to work hard, eat perfectly and see no change on the scale for a couple of weeks - she won't come through a sustained plateau, she'll just give up.

I think she has an addictive personality. She's unable to eat as much food as she wants because of the thumb tum so she's buying stuff instead.

I haven't bought many clothes since losing weight as I'm still about 30 lbs away from my goal and I don't want to have to rebuy a whole wardrobe full of clothes every few months. I did have to buy some clothes for work, since my old ones started to look ridiculous (they were a 22 and I'm now a 16). A lot of the dresses she's now decided are "too big" would probably fit her really well just now. Even if they are a little baggy, she can put a belt around them. Honestly, she needs to remove "saving money" from her tag line!

Totally agree and thought the exact same. I'm losing weight and only plan on buying stuff when i need to. Most of my clothes will look fine oversized and i'm planning on buying any "nice" stuff for birthdays, etc from Depop rather than new.
As someone said before, I do find it wild that she posted about Boohoo but then bought loads from Primark. She can't see the bigger picture in any scenario it seems

I don't buy fast fashion. I did when it was all I could afford but now, I buy good quality clothes that will last years. The tops for work that I had to recently replace? They were £40+ each but they lasted 4 years (and are still in great condition, after thousands of wears, so they have been rehomed). There's no point in buying cheap, flimsy stuff from Primark, Matalan, New Look when it's designed to be worn once, wash poorly then get thrown out. Anyone who has a 6 figure income can afford better quality clothing made by garment workers who are treated as people and paid a living wage.

Another thing about "fast fashion" that I hate is the fit. Most of the larger stores don't design for larger bodies so they think that someone who is a size 22 will have the same proportions as someone that's an 8. We see this a lot with Emma's clothing choices - she needs to go to specialist plus size shops to find clothes that would fit well, given her proportions. I would've thought she'd have some proper #BossBabe clothes. Can you imagine her walking into a business meeting in that white polka dotted nightie?!

I know you get excess skin with WLS but that’s not a size 16/18 tummy.

Oh no...she's painting the cupboards now. Where does she buy her paint as every one she has used is an awful, dreary shade.

I think wherever it is has confused the Bristol Stool Chart with a colour chart. All various shades of poop grey

That kitchen is a lovely shiny white, clean and crisp....not for much longer.

 

[Galinda]

She prefers the darker colours as they don’t show the dirt so much. That beautiful white kitchen will need to be cleaned to keep it white. The sludge colour won’t show up the dirt. They’re that lazy they’d rather have these horrible dreary colours instead of nice bright and airy colours. Pathetic.

I was thinking the same why does she want a dull dark depressing house

Probably to brighten up her dark dull depressing life

Surely this should be called How To Avoid Declaring Income To The Tax Man

I wonder why she has only done one door.

It would of been more efficient to take all the doors off, clean them all, then prime them all and then paint them. Saves waiting for it to dry and washing the brushes/rollers for each step of each door.

She annoyed me while she was painting the bathroom too, I mean yes it looks horrid but it could of been done in one day, she doesn't half drag things out.

There is absolutely no way that omelette consisted of only one egg. As for the 'I'm not lazy I'm on energy saving mode post' just what she is the laziest person I've seen in my life, and I often spend my weekends in bed watching tv

 

[Delia Smith]

So she went for a walk followed by a nap.
I mean wtf? I work all day and do 45 min kettlebells on my lunch break 3 x a week. Exercise energizes you - she’s clearly doing the wrong type of ‘walking’ to need a nap straight after !!

 

[Scragbags]

As if the decor couldn't get any worse she wants to put cartoon pin ups above her bed

I’m sure that’s where they used to be before she decorated the bedroom.
Howling that 91% of people say she should put the wedding picture up. Clearly 9% of her followers have the same tit taste as Emma (or they’re voting for the pin ups just for a laugh!).

 

[chocolate choux]

She’s so gross. I thought she couldn’t get much weirder than the Disney bikini - I was wrong

Wouldn’t a fair amount of her demographic be parents, especially single / stay at home ones? As a parent, seeing her promoting those prints disgusts me. Who looks at a cartoon princess aimed at kids and thinks “I want her nude on my bedroom wall”?

I feel like I’m a prude these days but sexualising anything associated with children is an instant hard no from me

 

[Scragbags]

Even the wedding canvas doesn't look right. It would be nice on a plain wall but against that gaudy wood it just looks horrific

I’m with you on that. It’s something for those women who fantasise about the Disney princes.

 

[urghmummybloggers]

Sorry - it’s creepy.

We all know she’s into DDLG with Toe-Nee and I’m not here to kink shame but to make a child’s cartoon character into a pin up - it’s weird as duck.

I have three pin up prints that I adore - but they are of adults and proper 50’s mockups
