Laura Adlington

[wibblywobblywoo]

If there had been pros and cons to her post she wouldn’t have had so many negative comments. She only highlighted negative points.

It’s almost like she gets jealous of people who are losing weight so she lashes out in a passive aggressive way.

on the talk of her Facebook page I still follow but it’s really dying down. A few posts of folk showing off their outfits here and there but any post where someone suggests they want to improve their health gets shouted down as diet talk.
There’s always the same people commenting on certain posts - if someone talks about clothes size you can guarantee certain individuals will be along to say the sizing isn’t good enough/it’s not inclusive etc,

I get the feeling she just jumps on bandwagons and doesn't actually have any thoughts or opinions of her own which is why when she's challenged she throws a strop and dirty deletes things. She's old enough to be able to debate a point without taking any criticism personally! I don't think she's cut out to be an influencer!

I used to be a big Laura fan. But unfortunately the past couple of weeks I’ve found myself really disliking her. She used to be quite positive but lately it’s just moan, moan, illness, moaning about illness, insulting companies (99% of the time rightly so), and more moaning. So done with this droll. I really sympathise with anyone struggling with mental health and body image, I do myself. But seeing someone else whinging about all their struggles is just really demoralising and honestly so fucking boring now. Unfollowing!!!!

I love the "just lose weight" like billions of women haven't been on diets for most of their lives and still seeking this magical life that exists in a smaller body.

If diets worked, and I mean in the long term, we'd all be thin and it wouldn't be a $70b industry!

She’s such a misery guts! Just came on here after seeing the Halloween tiktok on her stories. No, not everyone spends money on costumes and loves carving pumpkins but she’s so negative that when she posts something I’d think was ‘relatable’ if it was any other Instahun, with her I just think “good god, not more negativity”
I know this is awful but sometimes I think she would really struggle with a kid if she had one because so much of parenting is pushing through tiredness and illness to make sure their needs are met and she can’t even do that with the dog!

I had people having a massive go at me on that group! I posted saying how I don’t feel confident and are struggling with some daily tasks because of my weight and know that losing some weight will do me a world of good but find it so hard to lose weight because of mental health problems. People were completely having a go at me saying if I’m struggling doing every day tasks such as standing up off the floor was my example - they were saying it has nothing to do with my weight I just have to keep doing it more.
so delusional - I’m struggling with myself but doesn’t take a genius to know that losing weight will help with those things. Group wasnt Helpful at all they are all in denial

Genuinely can’t imagine having a marriage like that where every thing my husband did annoyed me or where we had huge rows on a glorious, chilled out holiday. Dunno why either of them would put up with it! Being proud of having a few days where your husband doesn’t annoy you is a very odd situation

 

[Monkey47]

I’m a big girl and I’m trying to lose weight for my health. I get the whole ‘love the skin you’re in’ thing I do but she is dangerously health impacting obese. She has admitted to fertility problems due to her size and yet promotes very negative views on ways to try and improve health. Eating better & moving more isn’t about losing weight or your image when you are as obese as myself & many others it’s about not eating and lazing your way to a heart attack. Yes these things will help you lose weight but the bigger goal would be lower blood pressure, less joint pain etc and many many more things

It’s all kicking off on the fb group. Someone had the audacity to bring up wanting to lose weight, and they piled on her and got her post removed. She complaine and comments turned off on her post. Same person now posted “I think I’m going to leave this group” and another pile on! An actual therapist said in the comments that sometimes the behaviour of those in the group is major red flags. Comments turned off again!

May be just me but not sure I would be boasting on social media about having an argument with my husband? Even if it's a joke. Everyone bickers obviously, but you are on a once in a lifetime (for some people) holiday, what are you even arguing about??!

Also If you argue that much maybe think about how healthy your relationship is.

 

[HanHan.]

For a full time hun with a "curated" clothing collection out, she doesn't post much, does she?

Hardly anything about her collection on stories etc. she’s more interested in moaning about taking care of a puppy and sharing stories comparing it to having post natal depression. Are you fucking kidding me!? I know she’s touched on not being able have kids before, but sharing that it’s similar to post natal depression is just so fucking stupid.

And walking 10k steps a day is useless so dont bother (in lauras world)

Try it Laura and see if its a 'marketing tool' or if it does have benefits to your body & mind.

She always says she’s not anti weightloss but she clearly is, I think with her it’s her wording tone, she’s very matter a fact and everything is always wrong and not good.

She’ll be pro-weightloss when she goes for surgery but it will be wrapped up in a package of “individual choice” and “mental health” (which I absolutely agree with but then my living is not made out of being supposedly fat and happy)

 

[Instatwat]

I’m not one for a “fight to the bottom” and I always feel a bit ‘meh’ when people call out influencers for holidays/constant buying as being tone deaf in the current climate, but JESUS. Complaining about going on holiday when the rest of us would love, but can’t afford, a break is so utterly oblivious.

And this:

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.

…is so bloody accurate!

I only just came across this thread and OH MY GOD, everything written here is so true. I’ve never seen someone make a career out of being miserable as well as Laura. Even her dog is a misery-bag. For someone who works for themselves, has a nice house and lots of disposable income, she seems permanently on a downer. Go for a walk with the dog and cheer the fuck up. If she met a real problem, she’d be carted off!

 

[Catlady1]

I’m going to stick my neck out but I think she looked really nice in that floaty star dress. She has actually influenced me with that dress. It fit’s beautifully. Just shows you what she can do when she stops moaning and sticks to what she gave up her day job to do. Do you know what I don’t think doing that podcast with that Lauren did her mental health any good

Technically not Laura related, but it’s the podcast fb group. A post from someone on there getting annoyed at the vet saying her cat is overweight, and wanting to complain about him!! Jesus Christ, these people will moan about anyone bringing up weight gain - even for a fucking cat!

I know this isn’t a Lauren thread, but how about instead of ‘manifesting’ and ‘putting out into the universe’ how much she wants a beauty advent calendar, she could put some of her cash out into the universe and buy one…?

 

[Furnessian]

This thread has run out of steam, a sure fire sign that Laura's Insta career has gone the same way.

If you can't even provide us with enough to keep a tattle thread going, and honestly we require very little, you're certainly not stimulating your followers.

That’s the thing with body positivity if you’re not happy with your own body that isn’t body positivity is it? I think of Lizzo for example she is body positive she is large she owns it she doesn’t care what anybody says it’s her body she is happy.

Then others not so positive or confident like Laura try and push the narrative but it fails because it feels forced. It’s like she’s large and doesn’t want to lose weight so jumps on the body positivity thing but certainly isn’t happy with her body.

I think it’s why she is so quick to jump on anything weight loss or diet it hits her harder than it should and bothers her.
