Grackle #2

[opal73]

It comes down to genetics and having a fast metabolism. Some people are just skinnier than others. She does snack very often as well, though it seems like she's pretty active as been said. Literally nothing out of the ordinary with Grace. I have noticed occasionally someone will comment that if they ate like she did they would gain weight very quickly, which I think is cause for concern because though she often has baked goods and sweets, it isn't like she's overeating them, she eats more than I would but again it's not like a binge. Comments like that shaming people for eating similarly to Grace are what can set off an ED, imo.

 

[emm]

As a former anorexic and bulimic, I don't get any disordered eating vibes from Grace (and I was hospitalised for years due to my EDs)

I know a girl JUST like Grace - looked like her, acted like her and from a super Christian family. Grace really reminds me of her, and what's more, this girl was super skinny, just like Grace is.

There are people out there who are naturally incredibly thin and have absolutely no issues with eating or food. Zoella is an example of someone with this similar structure, and I know two girls in real life who have that physique too. No eating disorders at all - eat lots of food and gain no weight.

They're like the rare unicorns (they have male metabolisms from what I can see haha, but their's don't age like boys' do!)

I agree about grace, but Zoella I think is not an example to follow, she seems like someone who eats on camera and doesn't otherwise imo, she often seems to want to emphasise how tiny she is , which for me isn't normal. I think Grace (and I have said this before) clearly has a good metabolism, but also does a lot of incidental exercise, she often dances around etc, my sister was the same when she was younger

I'm not married to my partner but I didn't know what living with him would be like before I moved in with him. A wedding doesn't really mean anything other than a ceremony and a party, the living with each other is unknown whether you get married beforehand or not.

Yeah but tbf the point is, if you moved in with your partner and was like hmm not for me, you could’ve easily walked away. If you’re moving in with them them for the first time after you’ve got married, yes you can still leave but you’ve also got a messy divorce on your hands lmao

I'm in my early 30s and I love stained glass. My parents' home has beautiful stained glass windows, and stained glass is very popular around here, even among younger people. Few years ago i got my mother a very beautiful stained glass butterfly, handmade by an artist, it's stunning when the sunlight hits it just right. I would love to make stained glass ornaments or windows. It's actually really difficult and very very very expensive. It's not something to look down upon.

Yeah reading that I was like damn... that sounds like my idea of fun tbh and Im 24!

So im so ready for all the hate im about to get

bur graces full lengh pic on instagram about her trousers she looks so skinny like i have not watched her in ages so maybe its just a shock i know shes naturally small but she looked smaller then ever

Like worryingly skinny

I can see what you mean but I think it's just the angle and the fact that she's wearing half black which is slimming anyway.

 

[bigreputation]

She’s engaged?!

 

[CabalofBolorneaise]

I thought the trying on clothes with COVID was weird but also the fact that she's isolating in her bedroom yet Banksy can still wander in and out and is sleeping on her bed. That cat's literally a walking COVID vector!

It’s just more proof they don’t take stuff seriously.

That said, I don’t really get the point of her isolating within her house anyway. The ship has almost certainly sailed because she was presumably around them before she knew but while she was still infectious.

 

[toastedwoofles]

I hope everything is well for her however it not, I do think it will be a lesson that she can't live her life half online and half not.

The posting of teasing clips, etc, will naturally make people curious, especially those younger and people will get invested. If she just did not mention anything she could live out any hardships in peace.

Equally if she's happy to share these snippets and nothing more, she should be clearer to her viewers where she stands.

Personally, I don't think she should've shared anything at this point but I understand she was/is probably excited to finally be in that position but if I was the other person in that relationship I'd feel very uncomfortable.

I don't know if anyone watches Mia Maples but she seems to have a full life outside YouTube but very rarely mentions it. She made a video making a picnic where she announced she had a serious boyfriend and a few (unrelated) videos later she was engaged. She's blurred his face and not shared his name. Her videos are definitely different to Grace making it easier for her to hide that side of her life, however, Grace is equally in full editorial control and can edit anything out as required.

if you haven’t paid bills , worked a job where you have had traditional colleagues , a boss , and work you don’t necessarily wanted to do , I struggle to see how you can possibly be considered mature enough to get married

I think this is such an inward view of the world. Clearly this is where we differ. You want people to suffer in a job they don’t like or aren’t suited to in order to qualify in your eyes for marriage? And you’ve assumed she doesn’t pay bills, like she doesn’t own a car or a phone, or have taxes to pay like every other self-employed person? So much of the criticism I see of Grace distorts her into this 25-year old baby when genuinely all I see is a woman with more financial, academic, familial and romantic success than the average 25-year old.

 

[CabalofBolorneaise]

I am so sick of seeing ‘models: street to catwalk on bbciplayer’. Bore off

Same, at least mix up what you’re advertising Grace. With all the shows on iplayer you should definitely be able to find something else to pretend you’re watching.

 

[oshare]

I agree, her content is so crappy lately and honestly super super lazy. She probably feels like she's stuck doing YT because it makes good money, better money than a regular job but I feel like she would do so much better in a normal working environment. She could still do YT on the side. I feel like her creativity is dying with her channel right now. She should be careful because if she continues like this it will end soon.

 

[oshare]

Honor and Grace that's the funniest thing I've read in a long time. That's really too much

 

[RobinsNest]

It was my impression he went as an older teen. Maybe like a church youth/young adult exchange? It's not uncommon for young people to go somewhere to train to be a missionary before they go out, and America seems like the place where that would happen.

The church my family went to had a scheme like this, and connections with groups around the world, and they ran religious colleges (as in, anyone of any age but mostly 18-19 year olds can go and learn about the bible and only the bible, not like a church school where you get the regular curriculum and the bible stuff is extra). In their summer term, they'd go out all over the world to church hubs, stay with locals, and do community work. Sounded to me like this is something he did.

As for Jesse, they accept you at any age, so maybe he did what I did, tell my family I'd go after I got my degree, the whoopsie daisy, I got married and I can't possibly leave my husband, and then what do you know, I'm pregnant, can't go now.

 

[toastedwoofles]

Two mentions of her male friend who likes whiskey in her vlog to Edinburgh. Wonder if she's still with the mystery man.

 

[scoobie]

oooh!

HELL YEAH!!!

 

[Just having a nose]

Did you know she loves using BBC Iplayer?? Annoying!

There’s literally 8 episodes of that model programme she keeps going on about I’m sure she’ll of watched it all by now. Can’t work out if she’s trying to advertise Iplayer or the programme?

 

[lokiofasgard]

I appreciate her sharing her acne struggles. I suffered a lot when I was younger and felt really bad, I hope it helps some of her followers. Man, sometimes I am su proud of her!

 

[emm]

It sounded more like the teddy gets lost in the bed sheet when its getting changed by housekeeping

Then surely you just put it on the table/in your bag.. the things she worries about are very immature

 

[caterday28]

carefree eating does not lead to being overweight and unhealthy. i've always been a carefree eater and have never been overweight. i've also eaten a packet of biscuits before as a 20 something woman and guess what? i'm not overweight.

I wholeheartedly agree with this statement.

 

[judgingyourlife]

I feel like Grace portrays such a positive persona online and it is at least partially deliberate. I don't doubt that she is such a lovely, positive person with a great outlook on life which I am personally very envious of, but if anyone else is like me that's the reason I watch her- I can get so depressed and sceptical about life in general. Her outlook is such a great switch off from the way my own brain operates.

It's natural that she isn't permanently in a good mood, sometimes I think she should show her true emotions in her videos because nobody is that happy all the time! But she's a smart girl and aware of the fact that her audience use her as an uplifting character
