Please be patient with me with this post because it's a bit of a personal one. Also just saying how I feel about myself not judging anyone else's health or happiness.
There has been a lot of talk of her weight and size, which makes me feel like it's OK to ask. Do we know what dress size she wears?
The reason I ask is because regardless of weight, as previous posters have mentioned it can be carried in very different ways (fat/muscle/height blah blah blah) but she and others (Callie Thorpe and Danielle Vanier) kind of made me realise how big I was getting myself. The pandemic and the working from home were not kind to me and I put on a lot of weight through inactivity and over eating. I have always been a larger lady at my best size 18/20 but at Christmas I found myself buying clothes in a size 26, nothing wrong with that if you are happy but I was ashamed and felt miserable and unhealthy. It hit home how big I was when I was watching people like Em able to shop in Primark. It's something I could never do even at an 18/20 but maybe I was just looking at the wrong things.
I'm about 5'4 and I was tipping the scales at nearly 19st at the beginning of Jan and like I said I started buying size 26 from places like Next, Sainburys, New look and a size 3/4 XL on H&M. I'm now starting to get a handle on things and am down to 16st 7lb and about a size 22 again (long way still to go to be healthy again) but I have been watching a lot of plus size ladies to figure out how to dress for my size and what I might look like to other people, thanks to Danielle I found Mango I had no idea they did plus size.
I like TrIna-Louise and Becky Reynolds as they are very upfront about where they carry their weight, what size they normally are and what sizes they have bought in the clothes they are showing. I also need a reality check on her photos because she is a noticeably different size in her videos, is this just clever angles or editing?
Sorry for the long post but there seems to be a few plus size ladies here and I like hearing all of your opinions.
I’ve said many times that I couldn’t care less what she weighs or what size she is, what bothers me the most is how she manipulates every photo and carefully edits out bits she doesn’t like in her videos, she never shows a true representation of how she really is.
Bags, dogs and anything she can get her hand on to cover up her stomach. Always checking herself in the camera then readjusting how she’s sat or pulling something to cover herself.
You are right in the clever angles and editing. The camera is always up so high!!
The things she buys from Primark are always oversized, stretchy, Elasticated and really floaty, this is how she can get away with buying a size 20 from there (when she says she’s a size 20 she is only fooling herself)
I’d say she is a size 26-28
Well done on your weight loss, you’ve got this!!
