THISI’m so glad ye have all said this. I thought if I said how I felt I Might come across as if I wasn’t appreciating the ‘smear’ shout out. I’m 34 I’m well used to smears. I won’t be roared at to go for a smear by someone who thinks she’s an authority on all things health just because she’s finally had a smear 7 years later. As someone here said ‘stay in your own lane’ Trisha you’re fooling nobody. These posts for attention! Why not do a post on hand washing or Covid if you want to use your forum? Most of us women are intelligent enough to go for our smears because we’ve seen the cervical scandal and we’ve been educated to go. I’m not sure why she needs attention 24/7. She mentioned also she can’t cross her legs. She used to be able to do that she had a whole video and post on it the year she was loosing weight and got to that point. She’s clearly resetting again but trying to stay relevant. I don’t need to be shouted at that you had a spectrum up your cervix today, thanks.
It’s the same issue she always has she doesn’t know how to handle male attention so she acts out/acts up. This attention seeking drivel is painful I’ve had to unfollow: i know weight loss isn’t linear good god I know that but she’s still a fraud now who doesn’t follow the recipes she swore by but sold us the book, people bought into her story but now you darent ask her about weight loss oh no you must praise her, at 32, for going for a smear. Or for taking an extra gym class, or for walking up a hill. She’s acting like we are privileged she’s sharing things with us because she’s ‘overweight’. There are skinny girls equally afraid of smears, working out, hiking. There are skinny or slim people who also struggle with depression or who think they’re ugly. There are people who come on insta & share their struggle but don’t sell us everything from the tooth paste the use at 7am, to the magnesium they take going to bed and everything inbetween. She’s just looking for attention and recognition now for every aspect of adulting ‘because she’s overweight’ . Trisha if you ever do lose the weight you’ll see that life also has struggles no matter your size.She is v annoying. Even though she harps on about absolutely loving the gym, jaysus I have watched a few stories of her doing a session... the aggression of her if the male trainer asks her to do just one extra leg extension! .. like she is going to murder him... but I think its all for attention!!
She is very dramatic about a lot of things that are normal for others. I was really gobsmacked about the smear test!!...I think her weight has caused her to have a sheltered life or she is just naturally extremely immature. Yes the cardio is great but should she not have been doing more of it since she started her journey almost 3 years ago?It’s the same issue she always has she doesn’t know how to handle male attention so she acts out/acts up.

Agreed. She’s reminded me I should go. I’ve put it off for too long.Glad to see that everyone here is educated and intelligent enough to go for their smears but just to say it’s a speculum not a spectrum as posted by one of the members above. If Trisha going encourages one woman to go who might not have because of embarrassment about their weight or anything else, i don’t see the problem
Please go book it and let us know how it went!!Agreed. She’s reminded me I should go. I’ve put it off for too long.
Shocked if anyone was ever over excited for a smearI would say her weight held her back from having one before and she was probably over excited about having it done yesterday. I’m glad she has the confidence now

Yes you worded it so much better than me. That’s what I was saying (or trying to) this fat privilege. I’m overweight so everything I do I should be praised for or paid for. No need to post the same work out videos every single day looking for praise. If a skinny person told us they were afraid of smears so didn’t do it for 7 years, would anyone understand that just as well? Way back at the start of this thread someone said the way she was going on she almost glorified obesity. I see it now. Part of me thinks a thinner Trisha may not believe she would be as popular or have as many rights to brag for the normal activities of daily living, cooking, walking, shopping etc.This
I never forget shopping for debs dresses. I was lucky to be brimming with confidence at almost 100kg.
A close friend at the time was more than half my weight and she suffered so bad! She couldn't cope. She balled crying in dressing rooms and got proper anxiety about being skinny.
Fat privilege is a thing.
It is disrespectful of ALL other body types to assume that because you do it when you're fat it deserves more praise.
I'm the last one to fat shame..... but equality is what we should aim for. Not special treatment. I don't think anything deserves more praise because you do it when you're a certain size...
hear hearFat privilege is not ‘a thing’. It is a fact that it is more difficult to exercise when you are overweight. It is a fact that overweight people have more anxiety over health care because they feel ashamed. I’m all for expressing opinions but that is a reach. Not everything Trisha posts is aimed at every single person here. She is not saying that thin people don’t struggle. She is on her own journey and her transformation is no longer just about weight loss. It’s about her mental health as well. She said herself that she is open to criticism but claiming she has fat privilege is just ridiculous. For those saying she should be sharing her weight loss every week, she is in treatment for binge eating disorder. Something I believe a few commenters here said she needed. Weighing in every week is not recommended when having this treatment as it is triggering. It’s not usually recommended that you embark upon a weight loss programme when trying to repair your relationship with food. Maybe Trisha has been advised this by her therapist - and she doesn’t need to share her private therapy sessions with anyone. yes Trisha’s page started as weight loss account, it’s obvious that she is moving away from this - is there anything wrong with a bit of personal growth? Also fair play to her for exploring other means of income considering she works in an industry that has been destroyed by COVID with worse to come.
It appears that Trisha has proven herself to be disingenuous and dishonest about several things since she started her journey, so I don't cut her any slack like some do. Maybe some people are over protective of Trisha because they have issues with their own weight. It will be 3 years in February and she is still morbidly obese. I loved her at the beginning, now I don't. There are people with really really big issues out there and all Trisha has to do is cut down on eating, literally!!!Fat privilege is not ‘a thing’.
