She just looks amazing and admits that she barely goes to the gym twice a month and has cake every day! Is it just genetics?

I don't think it's a case of "edited v unedited" / "photo v real life" with the pictures posted, I think she's just lost a ton of weight in the past year.

admits that she barely goes to the gym twice a month and has cake every day!

"Admits" Grin

RoboticSealpup · 08/07/2018 10:25

She looks like the majority of women I saw on the beach yesterday. Perfectly nice but hardly "perfect", whatever that means.

Sleepyandtired21 · 08/07/2018 10:26

If you look at photos that aren’t taken by her, she’s a solid size 12. There’s nothing wrong with that, I’m bigger than that. I just have a problem with her constant angling to look thinner and then proclaiming she eats whatever she wants and is lazy. I have actually met her in real life (just a quick meeting and I got a selfie because at the time I was a fan) and she’s not fat or anything but she’s not as slim as she looks in her carefully posed pictures. I find her to be very irritating and fake now - constantly calling herself an actress when honestly her acting is rather painful to watch. I would find her more genuine if she accepted her size rather than acting like it’s something to be ashamed of

I'd give my left leg to look like the unedited version Envy

happypoobum · 08/07/2018 10:27

I have no idea who this woman is. However, she looks like me in the photos posted by Saucy and I am in my fifties.

I don't go to the gym ever and eat cake when I fancy it.

Even schoolkids know how edited these photos are. Don't fall for it OP.

CambridgeAnaglypta · 08/07/2018 10:29

As far as I know she's not had kids. My 8 stone went to 10 after giving birth and never went away.

Frosty66612 · 08/07/2018 10:30

@happypoobum she’s a blogger

hswarbrick · 08/07/2018 10:31

Sorry but she looks perfect in that "unedited" photo! I would dream to look like that.

She can't edit photos with the pebbles and water in the background so I think it's unedited also and lost a few lb.

Prepregnancy up to my mid 30’s I had a body like that. Thinner in my 20’s. I did eat cake every day. No biggie looking like the unedited version.

ReHorsing · 08/07/2018 10:33

She's just done a run in the West End hasn't she? Definitely in some kind of theatre, which I imagine to be good exercise.

hswarbrick · 08/07/2018 10:38

It wasn't the west end, was the small stage in the Southwark playhouse (by the elephant) but it had terrible reviews and she seemed to get quite desperate on Instagram every day to sell the 100 person capacity. I really felt for her during that, must have been so difficult for her and very embarrassing to have millions of followers but struggle to sell 100 tickets.

Yeah... must be tough taking a high kick to the ego.

I'm sure she'll console herself with her millions.

Athrawes · 08/07/2018 10:47

She’s 20 years younger than me, why would I compare myself to her!

SleepFreeZone · 08/07/2018 10:49

I honestly don’t know who she is but no I’m not jealous. Some of the Victoria Secret models are absolute perfection and yes I’d definitely be jealous of them. They work hard for their bods though!

glintandglide · 08/07/2018 10:50

She looks completely average.

hswarbrick · 08/07/2018 10:50

I've found this photo that's from may this year, Is it just a bad angle? Looks nothing like her in the other photo uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180706/ee6c5e26b0cd2e7adcb9029280f6f0e2.jpg

There’s nothing wrong with her body but if I could cherry pick a ‘perfect body’ for myself it would not be hers

RedDwarves · 08/07/2018 10:53

Don't be daft, OP.

Missbrick1 · 08/07/2018 10:54

Don’t really know who she is, bad lip filler though. As someone who used to work in fashion I will say the images presented on instagram & the like are very different in reality.

Greenglassteacup · 08/07/2018 10:58

Surely everybody knows that?

QuimReaper · 08/07/2018 10:58

hswarbrick I'm not sure why you think that - she's appreciably larger in the "unedited" (i.e. less recent) pictures than the one you posted in your OP. The two in the same bikini are just the difference between sitting and standing.

silkpyjamasallday · 08/07/2018 10:58

I didn’t know who this woman was, but just scrolled through her Instagram. It looks like she has just lost a bit of weight, her figure certainly isn’t unacheivable, and I believe she doesn’t go to the gym as she isn’t toned or muscular. But all these big instagram influencers edit their photos - I have a friend whose job is doing just that! And honestly you can edit any photo to make you look slimmer regardless of the background, the ‘photoshop fails’ you see where the background has gone wobbly are very amateur jobs done with the liquify tool. We all need to remember that these images are not real, they are in no way comparable to a photo you could get your mate to take of you. These women spend their entire existence finding their ‘best’ angles for photos to make you feel bad about yourself and then sell you a load of crap you don’t need.

Sleepyandtired21 · 08/07/2018 11:25

I don’t think she edits - I think she poses in angles she knows are flattering! I do it too. Key one is to have your arms slightly over your hips or hands on hips to make them appear smaller. Never pose side on and put one leg slightly further back than the other. Get a tall man (jim) to take the picture from a high angle. That’s what she does. She posts the best pictures where she looks v thin which is sad because I do think she has a lovely figure but maybe it’s not as thin as she would like it to be

NoelHeadbands · 08/07/2018 11:31

Gah I’m 5 ft 2, my husband is 6 ft 4 and on every pic he takes of me, I look like Frodo Baggins.

Of course there’s the strong possibility that I do just look like a hobbit.

Did...did Tanya Burr write this??
