I think she is quite tall, maybe about 5’9?
It’s sad really, her kids aren’t babies anymore and despite the picture-perfect image she tries to portray I don’t really believe she has any time that’s just for her. Maybe when Coriander is at school she’ll find herself again.
I don’t want to fat shame her, or anyone, frankly who gives a damn, and I’m not slim either, but it’s the unhappiness about it and about her life that shines through. I love following many plus size women who are bloody glorious but as above Phoebe is just sad and dresses for a tip run even on her daughters birthday.
I think she’s been buying clothes that barely fit for so long that it doesn’t take much for them to be too small, so she has nothing to wear.
She could just embrace sizing up and buying her own clothes and not wearing her mother-in-law’s cast offs. She isn't going to lose 6 stone in a hurry so why not just accept where she is for now and at least be comfortable, she might then feel like taking care of herself.
But I reckon a ready meal curry for lunch and 2 servings on dinner are on the cards instead. No doubt a ‘picky fucking tea’ for the kids that’s bereft of nutrients because #workingmama is too busy to shop and cook for them.
