@Smallpotato just spotted your photo is on your wish list. Not sure if you’re wanting to stay anonymous. I realised I used to follow you on Instagram and Live Journal back in the day!

I can’t honestly imagine what it’s like to be told you have cancer, or precancerous cells. My best friend died at 30 from cervical cancer and that broke my heart, to see her go through being my wild child friend to a frail person. I really hope Emma gets the appropriate treatment.

I’m a nurse and I’m a bit cold hearted sometimes (nursing school has taught me to lock emotions away!) so the emphasis of being alone doesn’t bother me in the slightest. I work for the NHS and we are still allowing people to bring one person to appointments, especially outpatients. I had a LOT of treatment, surgery, hospital appointments in 2018/2019, and most of them were alone. The ones I did have with someone, it was my 15monthold toddler. I remember having a CT scan and the radiographers were stood cuddling him while I had the scan! I had no choice, my husband was working and my parents live away.

I’ve mentioned before that I knew Emma, and when I saw this, I was very very upset. However the YouTube title and the wish list are just incredible, can you imagine doing that? As I mentioned, I have a wish list but it’s for family/for me to “like” things, but never have I pimped it out!

I'm getting them a giant box of chicken feet, some Nylabones and a box of black pudding treats. I like to say thank you to the Dog's Trust now and again, since they took such great care of my dog before he came home to us.
 
I can’t imagine what it’s like to get the diagnosis that she has gotten, whatever that might be.
However I don’t know anyone who has been given a diagnosis and then given out an Amazon wish list, it’s so very odd!
This whole pandemic thing seems to have narrowed peoples view point about what is important in life and most people seem to have come to the conclusion that that isn’t things.

To be in the middle of a pandemic and a cancer diagnosis and decide to release a list of items that you want, most of which are totally irrelevant and need to be delivered is strange. Surely you wouldn’t want to risk having delivery drivers at your house, who might be infected.

I am utterly baffled by this behaviour, at a time where you would be thinking about how important health is versus belongings she seems to have got it totally the wrong way round.

Tbh - I got the letter about cells and saw the word cancer and don’t remember the next 20 mins or so. My heart was racing and I just blacked out. I then looked at it again and it said pre cancerous. I had the colposcopy a week later and then that was that. I was informed it wasn’t cancer and they just needed removing and then regular check ups as normal. After my colposcopy I never went home and said I had cancer and made a wish list. I just got on with it 🤷‍♀️ (I also got that book she got). I don’t want to accuse her of lying but something doesn’t sit right.

I truly believe that this has happened to Emma, as I have seen it with so many patients in the past.

if I was an influencer and this happened to me, I’d close my channel and social media, spend all the time with my family.

I can imagine making a list of experiences I want to have, am half heartedly doing that in down time now, things I want to do, places I want to see but tat I want to buy...nooo?!?

I've always thought Emma seemed to be a bit of a hoarder (and a shopaholic). I think she enjoys buying stuff, which is probably one of the reasons she became a reseller. I remember a lot of her Florida vlogs involved buying stuff as well.

I'm a minimalist and I absolutely hate shopping (I've recently lost a lot of weight and I'm putting off buying clothes for as long as possible, even through everything is currently hanging off me). When I want to "treat" myself, it never involves buying something. I've always been a bit bemused by the Poundland videos and FB group - I guess it's because people want that high of buying new stuff but without spending a fortune so they are filling their houses with the same cheap, Chinese made tat as everyone else.

I don’t know why you’d keep trying to squeeze yourself into a size 16 when you are at least 4 sizes bigger currently ? Yes it’s a goal, yes you’re excited but ruining the dresses stretching them like that defeats the object surely

She bought one at a charity shop. Maybe it's been pre-stretched by years of washing or being worn by someone in complete and utter denial of their true size *cough* like Emma *cough*.

Agreed. Especially since she keeps telling us 'she needs to process her thoughts and how she feels' she clearly is processing fine to be able to socialise it all continually and create a wishlist. I know when I've gone through terrible things, I'm literally numb and then trying to come up with a resolution plan or being grateful I've got or had the help. Not promoting it for all to see [and buy]

She lost 2lb. But thinks this latest diagnosis and her lack of 'hydration and protein' are down to her lack of loss. She should be kicking it's butt right now as she clearly realises that being obese is worsening the hormonal issues and will make the whole thing worse. She's not trying to help herself at all.

I've lost 52lbs since mid-October. Most weeks, I lose between 1.5 and 2lbs. I went on holiday for two weeks in Feb and lost 2lbs. No weight loss surgery for me, I've been exercising and counting calories.

We've never seen her try to lose weight before her surgery. We've only seen Nandos, McDonalds, TGIs, Ice Blasts, Costa, deep fried soggy onions, Wetherspoons... Her goal of walking on a daily basis around the village (when she lived at the chapel) lasted a couple of days.

She's eating 700 kcals a day, supposedly. At that rate, she should be losing 3-3.5lbs a week.

Awesome work on the weight loss! 👏 Most people who have had surgery that I know of at least, lose a fair few pounds, especially in the beginning. 2 lbs is normal weight loss for most people trying to lose weight. There's no way she's eating 700 kcals. I think there are around 1.1k kcals in the 'average' meal deal, keep in mind she also had a Crunchie and her dinner.

I've not seen anything of her 1 hour of exercise either.
