She looks lovely and genuinely happy in both of these

Weekly menu??! You did it once!! I simply cannot with her today hahaha
As if on cue, she now brings up CSA.
I was claiming the old Healthy Starts in 2010, before she’d ever even met dear heart ‘H’ aka Henry Dimbleby (via Leggy)
Didn't she literally say her supper portion wasn't big enough, so she had to have a sandwich and crisps in bed?
I'm in the process of attempting to lose some weight so I track my food intake, energy expenditure, go to the gym etc. I am absolutely 100% convinced that I eat (quite considerably) more calories than she does every day, plus I go to the gym every week day, and I'm losing weight. I walk fewer steps than she does, and have a fairly sedentary job, but I do cardio, lift weights, and swim.
Taking into account general metabolic differences etc. etc., riddle me how I can be over a decade older than Jack, eat more, walk less, sit more, and still be losing weight? Once again, we're faced with two explanations:
(1) Jack has an serious problem with understanding portion size, calorie content etc. and I'm genuinely worried for her son, if that's the case;
or
(2) Jack eats more than she puts on the stupid meal plan and she's lying.
For my own mental health, I'm choosing to believe it's 2.

So I just did a very quick, crude spreadsheet calculation based on her meal planner for Saturday and Sunday, just to double check how ‘plentiful’ the portions/calories are.
I have guessed a couple of ingredients/amounts but I have based the majority on what she has previously detailed as her ‘portion sizes’ - I have been generous with the spaghetti and used calculations of 75g per person, although I know she usually only quotes about 40g p/p?
Even allowing for a 30% adjustment in the total calorie count to allow for any ingredients I haven’t included etc as I don’t have her actual recipes, the totals are still shocking.
Anyway - I’ll leave this here…..
Edited to say: I know there are much smarter Fraus on here than me, so if anyone wants to check my workings - please feel free!!

There's no way anyone will convince me that she socialises at all outside of her awful TV segments and radio bits
That's because she's just being herself.
She's a victim of her own victim complex now.
It's 12.09pm on Tuesday, and this shite comprises WORK?
I don’t know much about eating disorders but I would be surprised if eating tubs of coronation chicken with your bare hands is symptomatic of anorexia.
WTF is she going on about now
You do have to wonder what on earth went on in that house. EDs are complex things and can happen within perfectly happy families. However coupled with Jack's claim that her parents chose to withhold a diagnosis of autism from her and then failed to notice that she was "living rough", forced to sell all her possessions and engaged in sex work for two years whilst caring for her first child, it's not painting a great picture of her family.
I honestly don't know how one or both of Jack's parents haven't snapped and given their side of it.
more revisionism
I’ve used calorie counting apps a few times in my life.
It is very straightforward to add homemade recipes by weight/item. To log a day’s eating takes the same time as turning an Easter egg box inside out.
This is bonkers, it's meant to be a defence of her weekly shop and the tiny portions it makes and it ends with her being set alight in a portakabin.
I don’t come on here often but just seen her tweets regarding anorexia. I seriously hope she’s genuine in that story as people seriously suffer with that horrible horrible disease. Any form of disordered eating can destroy your life. I’m only dubious because it’s not been mentioned before? Unless I missed it.
Bench pressing the Queen?
So she was training as a firefighter? But then got pregnant and then couldn't continue as a call handler cos reasons? What??
