Ok tattlers own up. Which one of you is moanymel and posted this under the Bridgerton same dress different bodies reel?
I have a couple of size 10s in my wardrobe and they definitely don’t fit!I mean… she can have size 10 clothes in her wardrobe, it doesn’t mean they fit.
I have a pair of size 8 jeans in my wardrobe*, despite being a size 12/14. According to Laura's logic, that means I'm still a size 8, right? Right?!View attachment 2944269

The thing is, if she was actually body positive going up a size wouldn't matter to her at all. But it does. She's really defensive about it. She squeezes herself into the smallest possible size. I'm heartily sick of those endless milkmaid-type dresses she shows, but at least get them in a size that fits and from an inclusive brand that stocks them. If you're genuinely a size 26 and go on Laura's recommendations, nothing you order is going to fit you. That's shit "influencing" right there and you're doing your followers a disservice.I mean… she can have size 10 clothes in her wardrobe, it doesn’t mean they fit.
I honestly think she wanted a way of earning a living that didn’t involve having to get ready and leave the house every day.The thing is, if she was actually body positive going up a size wouldn't matter to her at all.

There’s always Ozempic…I honestly think she wanted a way of earning a living that didn’t involve having to get ready and leave the house every day.
She jumped on the bopo bandwagon because she happened to be overweight. It was becoming a popular movement. She probably picked up a decent amount of followers from doing GBBO (when she seemed to style herself really nicely and also came across as quite an easy going person!)
Bingo!! She’s found herself a nice little earner. And she’s very good at creating a sales spiel for anyone who’ll pay her.
As time has gone on though; it’s evident that she has zero interest in size inclusive fashion; she just wants her size to be available.
I expect her to ramp up her campaign again soon though, because she’s clearly gone up a size or two.
As for the positivity, sorry but I don’t think she is.
She’s so very unhappy. And I’m convinced that if there was a magic pill that allowed her to eat unlimited mini eggs, and drink gallons of Dr Pepper and lose weight, she’d snap it up.
Do you know what though? I honestly feel like she wouldn’t want anything that would actually stop her eating, or affect her appetite.There’s always Ozempic…
It’s a tough decision. Not being able to eat proper portions of food ever again when you are a binge eater must be terrifying.She has already said she was booked in for WLS and pulled out. Which is absolutely fair enough: it is a HUGE decision and there are many stories of people who’ve had long term health problems because of it or it hasn’t worked and they’ve put weight back on.
Absolutely.It’s a tough decision. Not being able to eat proper portions of food ever again when you are a binge eater must be terrifying.
So many plus size influencers are in the same hole. If they lose weight, then what? Will brands be interested in them? It’s not exactly a long-lasting career so when you find your niche, you have to stick at it for as long as possible. If you start doing weight then you will alienate a lot of your audience. Yes some will stick with Laura if she loses weight but a lot will be upset and say that her body post-WLS does not resonate with them. The majority of her followers probably couldn’t ever afford private WLS or would have a very long wait for it on the NHS if that’s even on offer these days.Absolutely.
And to be absolutely clear: I’m in no way criticising her for that. Or for struggling with food/weight issues.
I happen to think it’s a hugely misunderstood and underestimated issue.
My issue is; I wish she’d feel able to be honest about how she really feels about weight/food etc., rather than adopting the stance she has, where she pretends to be a bopo activist and gets annoyed if anyone else loses weight.
I feel like she’s dug herself a bit of a hole, tbh.
From what's she's alluded to previously, it seems they started doing some heavy duty digging and landscaping without realising they needed council/developer permission.What’s with the garden?
How she manages to get brands to work with her when that try on is just front facing and the comments are full of people asking what the back looks like and how supportive it is. The purpose of a try on is to answer those questions. Her front on, legs jammed together pose does nothingTo be fair, I don’t mind the swimsuits, but only showing them from the front, and not informing on how supportive the bust area is, is not great influencing, imo.
