Absolutely horrified to see the first thing she does when she gets out is have a Chinese takeaway for tea. I see nothings changed within her mindset. How very sad and pig ignorant 😑
it’s very telling. Nothings changed. If anything she’s probably going to get bigger. She has this beautiful baby to get to know, I don’t know why she wouldn’t want to get healthy. I’m going to assume she’s mentally in a very dark place and not ready to address her eating issues.

i think that she’s been through such a truly traumatic experience that she isn’t going to address her problems surrounding food just yet. like another poster said i truly think she might be in a dark place and personally that might lead to her over indulging etc and i honestly wish her nothing but the best

Yep I completely agree I think you’ve hit the nail on the head. She should be putting her health first for her child 😔

She will gain it all back quickly and more if she is not careful especially as she probably won't be as active as she was previously also her lungs are shattered so needs to be careful not to put more pressure on them due to weight gain.

As an obese person myself, going on a diet will be the last thing on her mind after her traumatic experience. Ideally she’d address the issues she has surrounding food (anyone who over eats or under eats has other issues going on, myself included). The majority, if not all, obese people know HOW to lose weight, it’s the actually doing it that’s hard. Plus her whole brand is based on her being a larger than life character. She looks very ill and I don’t think that other than some cuddles she’ll be able to do much parenting. My friend who is a ‘healthy’ weight and didn’t end in hospital is on month 6 of being ill with long Covid and can’t stand for more than 10 mins a day. Prior to this she would be active all day with work, bike to and from work, workout/garden and have long walks each weekend, the muscle wastage and fatigue has been awful.

i 10000% agree with you , the amount of times i have procrastinated or put off losing weight is ridiculous. i think grace knows how to but she seems to have so many issues surrounding food that it won’t be sustainable and cause her more mental stress. i think she knows how lucky she is and all of this blasé , i’m a miracle stuff is a front she is putting on. she’s more then likely realised that she needs to and will have to change for the sake of her health and her son. she’s going to have to find a balance between doing all of that whilst trying to get her strength back plus she’s more then likely lost earnings whilst being in her coma so the content will have to start again. i resonate with her in regards to her trauma and upbringing and i do feel for her.

When you have a large amount of weight to lose, it’s so overwhelming. It’s not a 12 week fix it’s a year if not more of dieting and then learning to live at maintenance. Plus there’s the whole eating for health and eating for weight loss. You can eat whatever as long as you are in a calorie deficit but if you’ve been ill you really need to eat for health (fruits, veggies, nuts, oils, grains, lean proteins, slow release carbs etc) and then make sure you remain in a calorie deficit. It’s a lot to do especially when you throw in a new baby and PTSD from COVID. I’m starting tomorrow......again......for the millionth time! I’m also a qualified nutritionist, so I know exactly what I need to do!!!!!!!

i think a lot of people aren’t factoring in her past issues surrounding food. i know it’s so easy to be like oh well she needs to start making healthier choices etc but like you said i’m sure she’s overwhelmed with so many things. that coming out of hospital and having a healthy meal is the last thing on her mind. i’m about to start too for the nth time so i know how you feel!!

I wouldn’t even say she needs to loose weight I think she just needs to be healthier and eat healthier and actually move more

We can do it! Honestly I get so pissed off with myself, if I’d remained consistent last year I’d be where I want to be now. 1lb a week over the year is 52lbs, I just want the weight loss without the effort (partly true, I work out 4hrs a week but diet is my downfall!)

Does grace know she doesn’t HAVE to reshare every mention on Instagram
This is the most bleeping annoying thing normally anyway, but also... get off your phone? You have JUST got home with your partner and baby after 4 months. Isn’t there better things to do than social media? It gives you a big insight really doesn’t it..

I see her managemen are also working hard to pump her story to news outlets...

Ok, like a lot of people, I literally just watched about 90 seconds of her live before having to switch off. But I did see her say about her hair “when you’re in a coma, nobody gives a duck” so it got matted. Yeah.... they were trying to keep your organs going and keep you alive but let’s just go with “don’t give a duck” because they didn’t sit there there brushing your hair every day. I’m sure I’ve seen someone say that patients in comas do have their hair looked after however grace was in hospital in the height of the worst peak of covid so I’m sure this wasn’t as much of a priority as it usually is!
She also said she wanted to cut her hair as it has drugs in which she didn’t want in her system. So she wants to cut out the drug that, although might be quite strong, saved her life. Yet she wants to keep putting “drugs” (crappy food) into her system when she should be taking the best care of herself!
I agree that she does seem quite manic at the moment. I hope she has a good support network around her.
She's absolutely tapped. Ought to be grateful she didn't die. Her hair not being cared for is a small sacrifice. As you said, she was in ICU during the highest peak. Probably 2-3 patients per ICU nurse. Glad she survived, but I cannot stand her.

I would bet Lee is up snd trying to spare her feelings knowing she can’t help but because it’s Grace she has to brag about her baby sleeping. That’s rule number one with other mums - don’t gloat about your baby’s sleep.

I don’t have kids so forgive me if I’m wrong but this sounds very unlikely to me! I’m thinking Lee actually got up multiple times and didn’t tell Grace to spare her feelings or she’s just straight up lying ??
IA incredibly unlikely but it’s either a lie or worse - in order to cope Lee’s had to do cry it out so the baby genuinely does sleep through the night ☹

Tbh in this situation I wouldn’t blame him, imagine being a new lone parent and having to work and the sleep deprivation. It would kill you.

From what I remember of my baby being that age he was still needing a feed in the night at least once. Like waking up hungry for his feed. Their tummies are too little to keep full for 12 hours

I don’t want to be one of ‘those mums’ but my little boy is 8 weeks (born 12th March) and he doesn’t wake up in the night for a feed anymore (this obviously could change but it’s been this way for at least 3 weeks) and he sleeps for 9 hours a night so I wouldn’t be surprised if there 5 month old could be sleeping that long

Yes, it’s definitely possible for babies to sleep through at that age. Hopefully they just got lucky rather than training him to sleep through so young.
