Yeah fair play to her for addressing it .. she really isn’t one of the worst on there.

She comes across as a real family girl, ambitious, a bit annoying at times with the influencing however at least she doesn’t pretend not to have food issues, she admits to struggling with her grief and seems to be someone who’s trying to be better.
Promise I’m not Jess 😂 but I just really don’t mind her. Compared to utter mats like Joanne Larby, Jess is like a saint
yeah in a way I’m like at least she addresses the fact that she has issues - plenty of influencers are just liars. But then she continues to promote her lifestyle of overexercising and pretending to eat all this food she posts . She needs to cut those types of posts if she is admitting to issues no ?

I know if I was lucky enough to go away I surely wouldn’t be doing a feckin workout because I exercise regularly and a holiday is a break..I’d rather be relaxing by the pool. But that’s just me I guess. She’s very thin, she could have a rest for a week and enjoy herself, she’s not gona pack on 3 stone! ❤

I think exercise seems to be her coping strategy. Some people use drink, drugs or food. For Jess it looks like exercise.

I could never get offended by someone who is highly disciplined and gets up early to do a workout, regardless of their weight. If anything it motivates me to do more!

Then you’re totally missing the point of people’s concerns here.

She has an almost unattainable physique. She is clearly underweight and obsessive; young girls who follow her will think this is normal. It’s not.

Her posting that she knows she’s lost the weight she gained and has gone back to old habits does not absolve her of the dangers who influence represent. If she can see this, recognise it and wants to address it, why, when she is on vacation, is she posting her work outs?! Make it make sense.

I’ll never look up to anyone that has disordered eating and is addicted to exercise. Motivation is great, obsession really shouldn’t be celebrated. It’s actually dangerous in my opinion.

When I look at her posts and stories, she does motivate me to work out more and as I said I admire her discipline. She seems to have a different impact on others on this thread, I don't look at her and obsessively think she has an eating disorder and finger point etc.
I guess people are triggered in different ways....

But its not discipline, its a disorder which she has practically admitted to herself. That is her own business until she starts promoting herself as fit and healthy and financially benefitting off a lie. She is a very well educated woman, who came from very intellegent parents she is no fool. And that's why it annoys me- she doesn't need to do what she's doing and yet does. And the harm it will do to others doesn't seem like much of a concern. But calling people out on their lies might be a trigger for some....

But she's not coping when the exercise is excessive/paired with food restriction?
yes that’s what I meant. Whereas other people turn to drink or drugs or other things when they’re in a dark place, she turns to exercise. She seemed happier and more relaxed in Oz, hence the weight gain. Maybe being back home is difficult for her without her dad there. I just look at her and see a girl who is struggling.

I am really trying the understand your point..... what "harm" will it do to others? Are you talking about people who are trying to lose weight, they look at her and how slim she is and it makes them feel bad about themselves?....Then they need to look internally and work on themselves and stop pointing the finger at Jess

Have you ever been close to some with an ED?

Yes, kind of. But if Jess is triggering for people then they should block her, better for their mental health
Ah sure it’s that easy, thanks for that. Well I’ll tell that to the girls with ED’s who trawl Instagram looking for accounts like Jess. Sure I’m surprised there’s pro-ana websites and Instagram pages when your advice is the cure!! 🙄 Your lack of insight into the complexities involved here means I won’t be engaging further.
You’re flat out large shaming on Trishas Transformation thread so it’s very clear where you’re coming from. G’luck now….

G'luck yourself..... let's name all the women you tear apart on tattle, there are plenty!
 
It's the inconsistencies with Jess for me - I do think she comes across as a lovely girl, and she's harmless compared to other influencers, but showing daily work outs after admitting she has issues around weight and food, and then doing a collab for chocolate bars?

I can understand that she has a following based on her work outs and people will use the workouts that she shows, but she clearly restricts her food intake. There's girls following her who are going to be wondering why they aren't as slim as her, when they're doing the same workouts, etc. Some people really are that impressionable unfortunately.
Personally, if Jess has anorexia athletica/another kind of ED ongoing, she needs to pull the workout/food content because it's seriously damaging, to herself as well as impressionable followers.

and this is why she is absolutely not ‘harmless’
