Quite simply, she's not !I just stumbled across Grace's Instagram after being unsubscribed for 5+ years. It's so weird to see she's embraced the plus sized community and is seemingly successful... I remember her insisting she was a size 12 when she clearly wasn't! If you search "uglyfaceofbeauty" in Youtube some of her old videos come up and she looks sooo different. I really hope she is now more open and honest
The sky one? Fook me. Cringe.What on gods green earth is that ad post about
Honestly I had second hand embarrassmentThe sky one? Fook me. Cringe.
You know that pic took ages and lots of shots, ‘Lee Lee, no put your hand on my belly. Like you love me. Higher. Smile. More. FFS LEEEEE!!’ EtcHis face is just screaming 'help me!'
omg I actually feel sorry for her, that’s not the face you want to see on your expecting co parent is it Exasperation and the baby isn’t even here yetHis face is just screaming 'help me!'
I never have this problem but all pregnancies are different.Well that’s another way how to justify your unhealthy relationship with the food
Virgie Tovar is great and you have a right to remain fat is a fab little book and would really recommend it to anyone, I’m not fat and loved it and gained from reading it. Diet culture is unhealthy, there’s tons of scientific studies that show no one keeps weight off they regain plus some, and how bad it is for you.I live in a house of 4 adults and our fridge looks less full than theirs. We even have dog food that needs to be refrigerated that goes on part of the bottom shelf, plus a mini-fridge, but that's just a spillover thing for water bottles and beers and ciders when they're around.
I wonder if the drawer is full of chocolate bars rather than fruit and veg? I remember in one of Jamie Oliver's healthy cooking shows, a woman who wanted to change her diet admitted she bought a load of chocolate bars and stuffed them in the fruit and veg drawer so they were always stuff to fill the kids up in the house on a low income. She was embarrassed and keen to change.
It's a bit weird that she goes on about going to get an entire loaf to eat. I remember as a uni student seeing a classmate who was obese commenting that she couldn't believe she drove to a bigger Tescos just to get a load of different cheeses she was craving.
Also, I saw a video about a 'fat activist' called Virgie Tovar (it was by some YouTuber who went on a weight loss journey, I can't remember the name) and she was saying that diet culture is so unhealthy and people need to eat what they want, when they want and as much as they want. Grace seems to be in the same mindset of 'fat acceptance'.
Fair enoughVirgie Tovar is great and you have a right to remain fat is a fab little book and would really recommend it to anyone, I’m not fat and loved it and gained from reading it. Diet culture is unhealthy, there’s tons of scientific studies that show no one keeps weight off they regain plus some, and how bad it is for you.
But that doesn’t mean that everyone should be as large as grace and constantly breathless on YouTube, there’s far more nuance to it than that. There’s a variety of body shapes & sizes that people will find themselves naturally landing at, and Virgie’s message is not starving / depriving yourself to fit the Eurocentric beauty ideal of skinniness/being lean if that is not how your body is. I think it’s obvious that actively gaining significant amounts of weight quickly (or becoming so huge it’s not possible to live properly) is of concern to medical professionals and needs acknowledging, if you’re a 10 who shoots up to a 16 there is something that needs checking out but that’s not to say being a 10 or a 16 alone is worrying. Same with depriving yourself of a nutritious mixture of food, that needs sorting. It sounds like the YT video was purposefully reductive if it suggested Virgie advocates for you just getting unwell as she doesn’t.
Your pregnancy folder carry case literally tells you you don’t need more food when pregnant, in your third trimester you need 200 additional calories a day which is like what, 3 bananas??
