I genuinely thought this was a short and shirt set she was wearing 🙄

This is Jess writing in a blog post from 2017. She's talking about dieting and self-loathing of her size. She doesn't push that narrative now. Maybe because she has monetised being chunky and has to pretend she loves it.

It was a big day in the family calendar last night as my mam moved into her new house (which is totally unreal and I'm not jealous at all, and my house is definitely not a hovel in comparison 🙄)...

Hands up if you have the January Blues 🙋🏼
Now put both hands up and pull them down across your chest and go BLAH 🙅🏼🗣
Because we're going to kick its ass anyway 👊🏼

This time yesterday I could have burst into tears for 3 reasons;
1. After 2 wonderful weeks off work (which was much needed btw) it was time to go to bed early because my alarm was set for 6am...6.10am...6.20am...6.30am...
6.40am...6.50am and finally 7am, the time I actually get up for work (apart from the days I snooze for an extra 20 minutes and am late).
2. I feel enormous. I'm big, I know I'm big and I don't care! I don't want to be unhealthy or anything but I've always been overweight and after a year of self discovery I've totally learnt to love my curves, but after a very greedy Christmas, with a load of lush food and copious amounts of alcohol (glug glug) I'm feeling a bit meh!
3. My husband turned 30 on New Years Eve and for the last few months I was planning a surprise trip and a surprise party for him. We went away last week (it was amazing) and we had the party on Saturday (also amazing) but after all that planning and build up of excitement it's all over 😭

So I went to bed last night absolutely cream crackered, but as soon as my head hit the pillow BING 👀 wide awake with the "back to work tomorrow anxiety, unable to switch your brain off head" that's a thing right? I think the last time I checked the clock it was about 3am and I must have had about 2 hours sleep and darling...me needs my beauty sleep!

After the 7th alarm I dragged myself out of bed, pulled myself together and drove to work, or I might have floated, I'm not sure, I think I slept most of the way there.

Got to work today and although it was lovely to see my work pals, I was back at my desk, feeling fat and so very tired AND spotty (I forgot to add spotty to the list). I was eyeing up my weight watchers chicken pasta thinking is this it?

By 2pm I was almost asleep at my desk, the office was hot, I'd just had my dinner (and I was sooo full 🙄) and the computer screen was starting to go blurry.

The box of chocolates someone brought in were the only thing I could focus on, my brain suddenly woke up and started talking to me...

"Jessica...you need the chocolate"
"Jessica, the sugar will get you through the last 2 hours of the day"
"Jessica, you will DIE without the chocolate"

Well I mean if I'm going to die without it, I'm going to have to have it 🤷🏼‍♀️

5 Roses and 6 Quality Streets later I felt like I could make it through the rest of the day...half an hour later I was sleepy again and decided I needed a sugary coffee 🤦🏼‍♀️

4pm eventually happened, SUCCESS! I made it! The diets up the swanny but I survived my first day back!

Then I got home, looked in the mirror and thought you fat bastard. You've ate like a pig for not just the 2 weeks you were off work, but pretty much all of December and you couldn't manage your 1st day of being good, God you are so weak Jessica!!!

That was it - it didn't last very long at all 🤣yes a few people have commented that she's losing weight?! I can't see it but I don't follow her that closely.

Yeah I don't really see it either. She does (mostly) know how to dress in a flattering way for her size even though it's just the same kind of clothes recycled over and over.

And when she can’t, it will be the clothes companies fault because they should be more inclusive.

I was actually thinking this last night when she posted. She rants about companies not being inclusive. 15 years ago most shops only went to a 16/18. If they stocked a 20/22 they were inclusive. Now so many retailers stock to a 26/28. The more I thought about it, whilst companies should be inclusive where do you draw the line. Do they just keep going until everyone’s a size 40 and dying early? One of things that motivated me to shed the timber was clothes in general when you’re bigger are tit. If you do find something half decent it just doesn’t flatter the body of a bigger person. Jess seems to take the approach of make them bigger!

100% agree.
20 years ago when I was 19/20 I was a size 18 and top of the range in normal shops and struggled sometimes.
Now I have no issues at size 18, everything available to me.

When I was bigger pre weight loss at a 22 I struggled back in the mid 2000s
It’s far more inclusive now and I assume these influencers think every size should be stocked but that just means a lot of bigger sizes won’t sell.

Also they don’t care about the other end of the scale. There’s people who struggle to put on weight but they won’t care about the size 4/6s out there not catered for.

Absolutely this it's ridiculous to think that retailers should just keep adding sizes to the upper end of the sizes! As long as they do the likes of Jess, Jo etc will just keep getting bigger!

When you also factor in the cost involved. So every time they create a bigger size the cost goes up for everyone else, it’s more fabric, takes longer to stitch, they take up more room so Its more in delivery costs, costs for storing the item. Whilst I do think companies should be inclusive I think suggesting the entire retail industry cater for everyone is ridiculous.

I’m sure Jess’ collections used to stop at a 28 and now they’ve crept up to a 32. I honestly believe the bigger she gets if she has a contract with someone she’ll request they just make the range bigger and bigger.

Christ, she's piled it on since then hasn't she.

I often wonder if she edits her head to be bigger in photos... the photos from her holiday, she looks massive but her head is still in proportion somehow. I don't know if that makes sense. Like when she's photographed without any other context (like a chair or a normal sized human), she looks much more proportionate that she actually is?
