Fashion blogger tells TV company to ‘f*ck the furthest off’ for asking if she wants to lose weight – Metro

This is Lottie LAmour.

Shes a plus size, body positive fashion blogger who models in everything from bikinis to jumpsuits.

As such, shes not bothered about losing weight. Shes owning her body and spends her time promoting positive self image.

And shes big on the body positive circuit so youd think that any TV researcher thinking of asking her to take part in any project would be aware of what she stands for, bearing in mind that her social media channels are literally dedicated to promoting plus size beauty.

But apparently not.

Because a TV production company recently got in touch with her to ask if shed want to take part in a new dieting show and she wasnt happy.

Twofour emailed Lottie to ask if she wanted to take part in Save Money, Good Health a new show where contestants road-test new diets.

They were looking for people who would actively like to lose weight and are open to trialing out a new diet.

Unfortunately, they managed to leave the wrong name in the email,saying Hi Gloria (because theyd contacted several other plus size bloggers including YouTuber Gloria Shuri Henry).

They clearly also hadnt bothered to do any research about Lottie to even think that shed want to be involved.

Clearly you havent read my blog, she wrote.

I dont want to go on a faddy show about diet culture. I believe that women can feel good in whatever skin they are in and that diet culture is a money making scheme that hinges on making people feel terrible about who they are

Its frankly disgusting that youve obviously gone looking for plus-size bloggers thinking you will find fat women that would want to lose weight not all fatties want to lose weight, we are not easy prey for diet culture. If you had read my blog you would know this.

And she posted a follow-up on Instagram a few days later along side a picture of her in a bikini, not giving two f*cks.

It was so obvious that this researcher had just gone looking for plus size bloggers, assuming that because we are fat, we automatically want to lose weight, she said.

Not all fat women want to lose weight just as not all fat women want to stay the weight they are. Assuming that because we are fat we must want to lose weight is piss poor.

We dont have to be a before photo all the time our bodies deserve to be visible without assumption that we are working to get thinner. Some of us arent, some of us are working to love the skin we are in because we are deserving of it. My body is beautiful, and so is yours in whatever state of weight loss or not.

Eventually Twofour did apologise to Lottie, saying that the reason theyd got in touch with her was because (she) has a voice and is not afraid of speaking (her) mind which is something (they) look for and admire in contributors, especially in this series when (they) want people to take part in some health trials.

We understand not everyone wants to lose weight but we are contacting people far and wide on the internet and vloggers are a huge influence on getting messages out to their followers.

So at least theyre honest about the fact that all they care about are numbers.
