Laura Adlington

I can't help but feel if Laura went to an event like hers this week, and the chairs for her to sit on were like those that they shared on the night, she would make a complaint or likely leave. I appreciate they gave attendees a heads up etc bit if you were the type who had furniture anxiety heading to events etc that would put you right off. It really smacks of double standards. Wonder if anyone did follow through and complain or advocate for themselves. Even for people who are not plus sized, those seats are never comfy and supportive.

My brain has a negative bias (which I try really hard to not make me into a miserable bitch) but she takes the piss, honestly.

Beautiful house, (presumably) nice husband, gets to fanny about on the internet all day and somehow still make a living, dog that I assume cost three times the average person's monthly salary and all she does is fucking whinge. At least bloody pretend on social media .

I've honestly got no time for people who buy puppies and then complain they're hard work. It's a baby.

There's a reason all this is being posted on her husbands Instagram and not hers. The majority of her followers won't see the privilege and will continue to buy into her woe is poor Laura content.

Imagine moaning the way she does knowing that you have a holiday like this booked in January when most will be struggling to pay bills.
She's really not a very nice person

I’m strangely really disappointed in her for this.
It’s almost like she’s hiding it from her followers so that she doesn’t seem too privileged and unrelatable. It makes her seem a bit spoilt that she’s actually been moaning about what looks to be a fantastic holiday.
Why couldn’t she just be honest and say they had a great holiday lined up but that she was a bit worried about the plane seats being small???
Good luck to them - and anyone else who’s getting some winter sun - but I find what she’s done a bit sneaky?

Advertising her home made toad in the hole high calorie crap! There’s only one hole Laura is stuck in and that’s the rabbit hole of unhealthiness and trying to convince herself she’s fine with it allLaura you’re too young to be scrolling for other fat people trying to convince yourself that’s ok cause their fat so you must be trendy As Iv said before if you loved yourself as you are you wouldn’t need to plug fat people dancing etc to try and convince us that you love being that way you’d just shut up and be fat in your own spacesorry but we will not be believing you love how you are your bloody miserable and instead of a huge toad in the hole try a huge salad!

Toad in the hole isn’t the worst thing you can make and a standard portion served with some veg could be a filling and balanced meal. Better than having overly processed crap (if the sausages are good quality).

And to be fair people complain that she’s stopped baking and toad in the hole is kind of baking!

I know this is Tattle and people have their opinions - I definitely have plenty of my own - it just sometimes feels like she can’t win. I think sometimes when we’ve formed a certain opinion about someone we can pick fault in absolutely anything they do. If she did make a salad it’d probably be ‘who is she kidding with that salad’.

Sorry to the original poster here I started off replying to you and then went on a bit of a general tangent - my response isn’t completely aimed at you it’s half reply and half just my thoughts!

I think sometimes I just feel sad for Laura and for myself as I can identify with her in some ways - although I definitely think I am happier!

Jesus Christ take a day off the complaining! Can you not find just ONE positive thing to focus on today without finding some sort of cloud to hover over your head?

Losing weight for many people is incredibly difficult and complicated. Changing disordered eating habits requires a lot of support and time. Like with any other addiction, there are usually deep-rooted emotional issues or trauma involved, eating becomes an emotional response and release but it's short lived.
To break this cycle most people would probably need therapy. Therapy is emotionally draining and requires a lot of self reflection which is hard and can bring past trauma to the surface. You have to be in a good mental space to lose weight in a healthy manner.
It's not as simple as choosing to eat cake or have kids.
Anyway speculating over her ability to conceive is not something I'm particularly interested in. Good for her for talking about infertility though.

She needs to start putting the effort in with him, he’s a puppy, he needs training

Matt isn't bad looking either, if I were her I wouldn't be pissing him off too much on a luxury holiday where he's surrounded by women in bikinis

No, I'm not having this. Maybe he has a great personality and is very charismatic IRL but "not bad looking" is way off the mark. Are you ok, Tabitha?

 

[Catlady1]

She did the right thing. They don’t know what mindset she is in this could have pushed her over the edge. It’s some kid they employ who thinks the job title of social media manager is so cool they don’t need to think.

What relevance has Lauren's comment 'did a man come up with it!?' got to do with the figure of 10k steps. If a man said that on a podcast they'd be leaping down their throats saying how misogynistic they were! They really haven't a clue what they want their podcast to be about, I think they just want to moan and complain. Its actually exhausting being around people like that, never mind tuning in to listen voluntarily. They'd be better off going to the pub and privately ranting to each other over a glass of wine. I don't like the negative talk about exercise. Fine if they don't want to do it, but there are people who do and shouldnt be berated for that or subject to negative talk for wanting to better themselves. Utterly boring.

How can it be that hard to get organised for a holiday when you don’t work a proper job and have no other responsibilities like children etc.

I admire her honesty in her most recent grid post….it is so hard seeing pregnancy announcements when you want your own baby so badly. However, she seems to not even want to try. I’ve had several miscarriages and I’m currently pregnant again, and part of me wanted to give up and stop trying….but if you want it badly enough, you keep going.

I come from a very obese family and whilst I work really hard to stick to a healthy weight, it’s not easy. I’ve seen that the bigger you start, the quicker you lose….if she really committed she could lose half a stone in her first week and that’ll fuel her on. As people on here have said, 2-3 stone loss and might massively help her fertility. I really like her, I feel awful for her, but she has to help herself.

I liked Laura’s response to Laurence Fox’s post about the bikini ad with the larger models. So nasty of him.

I understand why she was upset, but to me it's a waste of energy to be upset by anything he says, the man is a right wing, Brexit loving, anti vaxxer.

The day I take advice on being confident and happy from perpetual misery guts Laura is the day I give up.

 

[Furnessian]

Don't mind anyone going on lovely holidays, good luck to them if they can afford it, but moaning about it before you go, trying to be relatable and get people to feel sorry for you? Nah, mate. Not having that.

When she says 'both feeling a bit better today so we thought we'd take Buddy out for a walk' she makes it sound like the dog doesn't get a walk every day? A pup like that will have bounds of energy and need plenty of exercise and a couple of good walks a day. They are storing up behavioural issues if he's not getting enough exercise. Even if you're feeling like shit you still have to walk your dog, it's not a negotiable task.

 

[alldayeveryday]

Can she categorically not get pregnant or has she just struggled to so far ie it might still happen for her? She seems too young for it to be an impossibility

If she really wanted a baby she would lose weight to give herself the best chance. I know it's not that simple. But you will literally never get a bigger motivation to do it. It's harsh but it's true.

Is there much craic in the group? Or is it a moaning Minnie group - dont think I will bother! You can feed back here lol

It's just selfies and people plugging their vinted. Then every so often someone mentions diets, someone shows that it's against the rules and then it kicks off. Thin people say it's not safe for thin people. Fat people say it's not safe for fat people and someone posts an airport post and gets the attention they crave, before it all gets forgotten and next day it's back to selfies and vinted.

I'd have 100% shamed them. Do your research that's your job.
