Jessontheplussize #4 Dressing room’s plastered, but hygiene isn’t something Jess’ mastered

[Okay!]

I think she has created an "insta-worthy" area in the house as she maybe plans to do her filming of tiktoks/hauls/chats there ? She should put the same effort into herself now and she would gain more followers definitely as I feel the plus size body positive movement online seems to be taking a downturn lately. I say that as a plus size woman myself , I feel the tide is turning towards being healthy as opposed to glorifying being obese. I love body positive instagrammers but the majority seem miserable in reality

Do you not think it's a bit ridiculous to refer to somebody just living their life in their own body as glorifying obesity? That mindset drives me to distraction. She may or may not be healthy or whatever but she is not telling people to go out and eat themselves to her weight. She is just living her life in the body she has now and that is allowed.

Then this may explain why two adults (one working part time) without children and a car take a Tesco delivery slot from someone that needs it more

Sorry but that’s a bit ridiculous. If the slots are available, she has every right to book one. Vulnerable people were given priority to book slots when they were hard to get but most are readily available now anyway.

With this ‘new normal’ it’s starting to piss me off that people doing perfectly reasonable things are being shamed for it.

Lotions and potions and chocolate a-plenty,Jess really needs to treat her skin more gently

 

[Lolo19]

We should rename this thread - people needlessly update other people on their personal hygiene etiquette

Jessontheplusssize: finally Jess got a haul just right, for once nothing was too tight

 

[Lollipop19]

While I applaud her exercising, I can’t get over her lack of footwear while doing the workout, or the fact she was sweating so much from what looked like mostly stretching and a few lame dance moves. I know it’s okay to do yoga barefooted but I’d never do any fitness workout without trainers on, even in the house.

Sorry, but we're on thread 4 of Jess and most of the comments are about how she doesn't look after herself. And now she's doing some exercise, we're commenting on her sweating too much during a workout?!

 

[Nellyellie]

So now we know how everyone showers
Fucking hate the leotard but good in ya Jess for getting off your arse and doing something!
You’ve motivated me today

My issue with influencers, is their inability to cope with debate or a differing POV to theirs. There is no engagement unless it favours them, you cannot give an opposite opinion to theirs or you're a troll. I can count on one hand the number of influencers on insta that I know can debate and engage without resorting to whinging, snivelling or name calling. Too many people think they can put their whole life online for thousands and not invite opposing views or critiques. All they want is praise and to be validated. That's not really how the world works. I can disagree with friends but it doesnt mean I'm a bad person or a troll. We just disagree and move on. These people cant do that because they are so absolutely fragile as peole that their need for adoration by strangers is so strong they cant see that this is also what invites opposing opinions and views. Not everyone in life will like you and that's fine but for these people with their glass egos, that is simply not acceptable.

Why should people unfollow? Can we not have adult conversations about weight, skin problems etc. If you tell peole you haven't washed or are about to pick and squeeze your face while in the same day crying about how bad your skin is then surely you cant expect people not to pick up on that?? Her reaction to the shorts comment just proves all of this. Flawed, fragile people using instagram is dangerous. They cant accept the other side of the coin and they would do better to go away and find some validation in real life.

She is the human version of her oven.

 

[instamumsaredaft]

How much better does she look in the Yours clothes. They actually fit and look good most of them

 

[They See Me Trolling...]

I sympathise for her with her skin. The main issues she has, have nothing to do with her weight or diet but people will always presume it is. She has scarring from previous acne and she has rosacea.

My sister never had a spot al through her teens and one day at 19 she woke up to a few spots and within a week she was covered in serious acne, proper acne not a few spots. The only thing that stop it is birth control and she has been on that since until 12 months ago. After a decade taking a tablet she doesn’t want to take she stopped and her skin is wild, it’s so so bad. She has painful cystic acne and nothing is helping it no matter what she does/what route the dermatologist suggests. This has nothing to do with her diet or her weight. She is slim and she is vegan (she wasn’t vegan when it started), it is hormonal.

As a fellow fat person, any health issue or illness is always put down to being overweight and it’s infuriating. I can go to the dr’s with any health concern and they attempt to link to to weight. Every time.

The problem is that there is no one product that will fix everything and that will be very frustrating. One product that helps her rosacea might irritate her spots. A lot of the other folk she’s friends with in the “BOPO” scene may be big but all have gorgeous skin such as Poppy (I don’t mean her psoriasis, I mean her face).

Listen im as big if not bigger then Jess. So im saying from personal experience. Im sorry if i struggle to accept that rolls of fat should be squashed in dresses. That haul did her no favours. Hats off to her if shes comfortable wearing that stuff though.

I hate the commenting about someone's appearance based on their weight, so I'm clearly on the wrong thread/forum here.

I'd die if I though people talked about my belly the way that Jess' is talked about and yes, I know I'm not an Instagrammer.

I believe talking about other people's physical appearance is none of my business. Jess is a plus size fashion Instagrammer so I understand why people comment on her choices and the fit of the clothes. It's her gig.

My point was, Jess has a belly (as do many of us) and she may like wearing clothes that show her belly (I couldnt nor wouldnt) and that is her choice. Her belly is there and she chooses to show it. As a society we've been programmed to wear the long tops to cover our tummies or bums. Because a big tummy is abhorrent in our society but, a fair few woman in society have the same belly/thighs as Jess and as a result they think of themselves as disgusting. They are not.

Fair play to Jess to just show her body as it is and I think her showing herself, as is, should be admired. No filters, no photoshop.

As I said at the start I'm probably on the wrong thread here. So won't comment any more but couldn't not say this!!!

 

[Mumofthree1225]

I feel sorry for her tonight her insecurities and vulnerability are really in focus.

 

[Just_Looking_]

See now if this site was just about trolling there wouldn’t be all these nice comments! Why can’t people see that?

 

[Irishjools]

I dont understand why she wants to show her tummy so much. The tightness doesnt mean it fits. An outfit should flatter. I didnt like any of those clothes in that haul. The prairie dress was awful.

Who said an outfit should 'flatter'? Why cant Jess or anyone else wear tight dresses/crop tops/leotards just because they actually like them. Society says she should flatter her body. What society is actually saying is that she should hide her body. Why? Because you dont like to see a big stomach? Says more about society and it's anti-fatness, masked as a concern for health. It's her body. Her stomach is there. She can't hide it. Fair play to her for showing it exactly how it is and not hiding herself away in a tent dress to suit society's prejudice.

Do you not think it's a bit ridiculous to refer to somebody just living their life in their own body as glorifying obesity? That mindset drives me to distraction. She may or may not be healthy or whatever but she is not telling people to go out and eat themselves to her weight. She is just living her life in the body she has now and that is allowed.

I didn't mean it like that at all she has expressed several times that she is unhappy with her weight , that she is suffering health issues because of her weight and that she wants to do something about it in order to feel healthier and happier. Her words not mine !

Speaking about the changes in the body positive movement- of course I encourage and embrace people loving their bodies at all shapes and sizes but from following many plus size accounts online I've noticed a lot of them coming forward and saying that underneath it all they aren't happy and that their health is being affected and that they need to do something about it

I'm obese myself have steadily gained weight for years going from a size 8 to a size 24/26 and I can tell you that my health is suffering so much at the moment .My knees are starting to give way , I have back and pelvis issues , some days I struggle to walk and am in constant pain. But I have nice hair and good skin , a pretty face and wear nice clothes so I could start up an insta where I claim to be a positive plus size role model when in reality I would be lying.

I also must point out that I realise obese doesn't equal unhealthy/ unfit and that thin doesn't equal fit/healthy ,but it would be burying your head in the sand to say that being obese wont cause health problems in the long term

 

[Purplebananas]

I find it really hard to believe that she is happy with herself. I am a size 20-22 and I am miserable as fuck. I lost 4 stone 3 years ago and I felt loads better and more confident, my relationship with food etc changed and I was defo at my best. Lots of personal sadness have had me pile the weight back on and now I am fat and unhealthy and miserable. I buy nice clothes and shoes but I still think I look shit in everything. The Plus size community are positive, howeve I feel that they are glamourising this greedy fat slob lifestyle. I’ve defo been guilty of buying 22-24 size clothes Cos they fit and they’re trendy when actually, the real issue is I have to buy specialist clothing because of my size. It’s not good. It’s not healthy and it’s not a pro active lifestyle

 

[Charliebilly]

Her makeup is looking lovely tonight! Nice and fresh and glowy!
Great haul tonight too! Everything suited her, looked nice and was on trend!!
