Really crushed about the Christmas announcement - haven't seen my mum in months and my dad passed away several years ago so very sad about her being alone for Christmas.
Can't help being a bit resentful of people like Helen and all those in her comments that seem to think the tier rules don't matter are probably partly responsible for the huge rise in cases.
Tier 4 Christmas it is then - I think like others I might need a bit of a break from Helen as I just find her so frustrating at the moment.
Same, especially if she is still able to mix with other households on Christmas Day. I've done my best this year to stay at home, follow guidelines etc. Londoner here, so I now can't see my boyfriend or my parents (not same household/no support bubble) over Christmas. Meanwhile, Helen has flouted so many rules, whinged the entire time whilst doing basically everything she wants to do and will still get to spend Christmas Day with her boyfriend and family.
I swear to god if she moans one bit about the new restrictions (i.e. moving from 5 days to 1 for mixing in other tiers)... you're part of the
bleeping problem Helen

I know we've talked before about her lying about her size and how it affects her audience but just seeing this comment from one of her fans made me feel so sad
What's the betting she'll say her usual advice of "body confidence!!! Just get naked in front of your friends more! Wear a FUR coat in Tesco's! Just be extra!! Be naked, look in the mirror, dance and jiggle that jelly belly!!!"
I was thinking about this earlier. A couple of years ago, I was about 2 stone heavier than I currently am and was a size 16 (in jeans at least, size 14 on top). I'm 5'8'', carry majority of my weight on tummy/thighs/boobs and have a very normal sized bum. And I was struggling to get
my arse into a size 14 pair of jeans, hence having to size up. I'm sorry, but I just do not believe that Helen can fit hers into a size 14.
I also just want to add that I
dislike her fixation on clothes sizes in general. Even though I'm a size 12 now, I sometimes buy things in a size 14 if it means that they fit me better. I mean I have a flipping shirt in my wardrobe that is a size 22 just because I prefer the fit of it. It's just a number on a label, just buy what fits you and what you feel good in and stop perpetuating the idea that anything bigger than a size 14 isn't okay. I mean, I get it, I remember when I had gained weight (size 10/12 to size 14/16) I would still buy things buy a size down and just try my best to make them look good because I didn't want to have to size up and ultimately face the fact that I'd gained weight. But in the end I realised that it's better to dress for your shape, in clothes that fit, than shoehorning yourself into something that will just make you feel worse.
