Same reason thin people wear them, because they're comfortable and practical.

Fair point well made

Does anyone of any size wear hoodies because they're flattering? I certainly don't. Shall we just stop assuming that women should always dress to flatter rather than just be comfy. Imagine criticising a man for wearing a hoodie because it wasn't 'flattering' . just wouldn't happen

Think this was misunderstood I meant it makes her look even bigger than she actually is but if she’s happy I’m delighted

Palming off 'dog walks' to Matt, which turned out to an impromptu photoshoot. All for the gram heh

 

[Badbugger]

I’ve unfollowed. I cannot see what she brings that’s of any value? It appears to be what feels like almost weekly gripes about ‘not feeling tip top’. On the rare occasions that she’s firing on all cylinders, I think she must have a Google alert set up for ‘large’, so that she can screenshot whatever comes up and use it for ‘content’.
At the end of the day she can choose to be whatever size she wants to be, but I feel as though if she’s this sickly and lethargic at her current (young) age and weight she’s only pretending to be okay and positive about it. I don’t think Instagram is the place for her and she’d do far better with a job that has routine.

 

[Furnessian]

Agree. Her insta is really boring. Her life seems boring. What does she have to offer as a full-time hun?

 

[GimmieSauceage]

I don’t even think she’s always “ill” I think she’s just super lazy and even depressed so uses feeling unwell as an excuse to get out of basic life like dog walking

 

[mee43]

Yeah I feel for her. She doesn’t seem happy - that’s not a judgement of her life choices/relationships or to pass judgement on her mental health or anything else, it’s just the way I think she comes across.
She’s either pulling a sad face because she’s unwell, or because she’s low, or because her lovely dog is hard work, or her hubby has pissed her off.
She would do better to avoid social media and get back into work, but that can’t happen now because she has a pup at home who can’t be left all day.
I’m having a bit of a cull on insta anyway - it’s all so pointless and boring, but I’m unfollowing.
I feel bad about it, but I would so much rather have seen her bakes, than loads of floral dresses and posts of Laura’s misery face.

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!

She hates Christmas as well doesn’t she. She does seem really miserable.
I almost think she hates it all because she doesn’t have kids.

I think you've hit the nail on the head. However, she and her gusband could do something about that, they could try and lose weight, which is easier said than done. I know it shouldn't come down to weight, but even for adoption you have to be a certain weight. I think she is lazy, she doesn't want to put the effort in and constantly moans about every little thing.

It's her personality type.

She's like my relative, always wants what she hasn't got. Lost 6 stone for IVF to have a much wanted child, when she was born she was upset as she wasn't her "real mummy" (despite having carried and birthed her) and then gained 8 stone back in the course of her pregnancy and the year following the birth.

Now she parents from her backside on the sofa and complains her child is hard work. She's really not, she's a delight, if she was hard work she wouldn't be able to sit on her hole all day.

Anyway Laura reminds me of her. Only happy when complaining.

 

[Furnessian]

You can live a happy and fulfilling life with all sorts of different family set ups but she seems determined to be miserable anyway. How long is she going to carry this on for? She is wasting her life.

Also. she is primarily famous for being a baker and that's why most people follow her, yet she hates Christmas? Why not just bloody pretend and show us your mince pies etc? That's what we're here for.

 

[Instatwat]

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?

 

[TravellingPants]

I also see an element with Laura of being the ‘not like other girls’ type… which makes her disregard things in broad brushstrokes. Christmas? Hate it all. Comedy? An entire genre wiped out. I’m struggling to think of anything that she comes across as being enthusiastic about on social media or the podcast. Total mood hoover and raincloud personality.

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

 

[nothanksbabes]

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

Beautiful house, (presumably) nice husband, gets to fan 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 bleeping 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.

She seems to enjoy the wild swimming, to an extent. Same with afternoon teas and stuff like that. Then it's back to being miserable again.

Poor little boy. Puppies are hard work - fact! But they are also extremely biddable and easy to train if you bother to put the effort and time in.

 

[Catlady1]

She could have such good content with baking and body positivity modelling. My opinion is she was never that great a baker and when she doesn’t have a brief to work to she’s lost. She has no imagination. I think it was a bad idea for her to give up her day job!

 

[Gossipgirl79]

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 agree with everything you have said. I had to lose weight to have my son , and I'd do it again in a heartbeat .
I don't like the way she's nasty about the dog , Like it doesn't seem jokey tongue in cheek to me which bothers me .
