She's bothered me a bit today with the whole don't disclose your weight stuff. I personally think it's encouraging people that it's fine to be fat and that healthy isn't important. Yeah sure, Lauren is bouncy, generally looks fab and really healthy plus she seems like she has loads of energy and may genuinely not care what she weighs but there are women out there who aren't in the same boat and surely by refusing to disclose your weight then you are choosing to ignore that you potentially have health issues. Also, I tell people I don't know what I weigh because I'm overweight, but I do - to the ounce!!! I don't have a problem with my doctor knowing though, he can see I have some ballast on me!
I get your point but I think she's trying to say you have a choice and sometimes weight is medically relevant but other times it doesn't matter and if it's going to make you feel bad about yourself you don't need to disclose.

For example, I went the GP with tonsillitis, my weight really has no bearing on how that is treated. If I went with sore knees, it's worth talking about my weight because extra pressure on the joints would be contributing. Just like if was a smoker with asthma I'd expect the doc to suggest I stop because of the correlation.

It’s not that you’re so excited about everything Laura, it’s the screechy high pitched voice you put on that’s so fucking annoying and sounds like nails down a blackboard that’s the issue.
Can’t deal with the baby voice it’s annoying as fuck be excited but don’t act like a baby it’s weird as fuck and comes across fake

I don't mind her too much, she's pretty shrill and manic sometimes and definitely prefer her over the human Eeeyore that is Laura - but if she has an AD coming up to do with finances I'll be back here like a shot!
Yeah same. In fact, I thought she was alright (as you say shrill) til this “I’m broke” stuff.

The yellow is awful, I mean it’s a terrible dress in general, but there is no way she feels comfortable I something that tight, not when she has always said she is conscious her tummy. I hope she doesn’t start selling any old crap to make a bigger following. She is lovely but I do think she is trying to fool everyone with this post.
Agreed - I do like Lauren, I first found her when I saw her reel with the handbag shaped like a phone and the fact that she was a bit different from other influencers was endearing. Although I wouldn't buy one of the Abercrombie dresses (as I'm too miserly to spend that much on a dress!) I like the fact she shares things she likes and not just #aff links all over the place. However the featuring of ITS dresses - especially the yellow one which you can tell she'd never choose to wear - it's a concern. I hope she's not going to get sucked into shilling ITS crap - their clothes are overpriced and poor quality and I never understand anyone who buys from them!

Those Anthropologie dresses do look nice on her but the squealing was all a bit much and Lauren- they all look the same. How many £100-odd quid identical dresses do you need, especially if you’re skint?
I’m pretty sure if they’re giving her discounts through her LTK then she’s not exactly buying them and should be declaring as an ad…

I used to like her stories but I think it’s just one long ad reel now I just skip over her.

She seems manic at the minute. I’m happy she is excited about stuff but it seems a bit much. Still, better than being a miserable fucker like her definitely-still-great-mate-no-matter-that-she-shat-all-over-me Laura
Oh yeah don't get me started on that miserable fucker 🤣🤣🤣

She hasn’t got a thick enough skin to be an influencer if she can’t take a few people saying she promoted overconsumption and debt.
I agree. She could do more good in the world (if that’s her true intent, and I do think she has that) by stopping the public social media and finding a local charity or good cause close to her heart.
