I agree. It's more of a beauty account now, if anything.banani wrote:I do also feel quite bad for her at times. I've lost over 20kgs twice and gained it back each time. Gaining weight (if you're that heavy) really really sucks. I can feel it in my knees, my ankles, even though I'm a loooot more active than her.[coward] wrote: ↑ Was just curious to see how much weight she has put on.... Dates are visible.
Ya know, it really is sad seeing someone going downhill.. I get it, she’s irritating because of the lies... but I kinda do feel bad for her. She obviously knows she’s put on weight, she knows she looks different and we all know she is super insecure at this point..... I feel like she has to keep up the facade of body positivity bc that’s what brings in the money. If she all of a sudden started being honest and saying she isn’t comfortable in her body, a lot of these sponsorships would be gone! I truly, truly hope she can become self aware and start to better her life/health and REALLY be a positive person in the plus community. Because that’s what a lot of us women, girls and guys need, someone to step up and say hey I’m not happy. I’m not comfortable anymore and I want you a change it. And LEARNTOBEBODYPOSITIVEAGAIN.
Anyways, rant over. It’s nearly 2am and I can’t sleep. lol
She could get really good sponsorships as well, for active wear etc. Most plus size influencers (even those as heavy as Alex) are way more active, they travel, they workout, they eat muuuuch healthier etc. That's no reason not to lose weight. As Long as she doesn't accept a weight watchers or like one of those skinny Teas sponsorships, she can totally still be part of the Body positive influencers even if she works out and eats a lot healthier. Body positivity isn't about living unhealthy and never changing anything. It is a movement against the discrimination of fat People (especially fat poc).
I don't really think she is a particularly Body positive account. She is no activist of any sort. Just being fat and not losing weight does not make you a part of the movement. She complains about discrimination, yes, but she isn't in any form active or inspiring and she never ever Shares any interesting accounts, campaigns etc.
