Her estimated earnings are also half what they were 6 months ago. Her channel was thriving then, now she’s plateaud and it’s only a matter of time before people grow tired of her like they have E&J.Ckc717 wrote:Omg Bonnie is such a train wreck. She has lost it.

This sounds like classic Griffith's drama. It does make me wonder what Ellie thinks about all this, and how she is handling Bonnie being so needy and getting all the attention. I'm not sure how the times line up bc i know she and Bonnie are both on a considerable delay at this point. But.... Ellie has been whining (even more than normal) about being soooo tired bc all Tommy does is stay up all night feeding. but yet in her video yesterday she says Tommy wakes 1-2 times a night and is doing great at feeding. Do you think her insistence on how rough life is right now has anything to do with Bonnie being in worse shape than she is? (which, Bonnie seems to be making mountains out of mole hills but we can all agree she is in worse shape than Ellie is at this point) And jealousy bc she's getting my sympathy from viewers and their mother??Sweetiebee wrote:You know her fibrous fat was worse than everyone else's, her reaction to medication is worse than everyone else, she's busier than everyone else, her recovery is harder than everyone else, she's more stressed than everyone else....Meanwhile there are actually people who are suffering and dying with less drama and fanfare.

That's exactly who I had in mind. And many more unknown people, every single day.
It is encouraged. The ex-Mo Reddit is full of stories about how shallow and materialistic the women can be. Every good man deserves a trophy wife.ohaudrey wrote:Can anyone educate me on how the Mormon church & religion views materialism and image?

They are encouraged to keep a neat and modest appearance. The problem is that they think modest just means full coverage, when in reality, the church is also referring to being modest in the sense of being humble, simple, not VAIN. These ladies are very focused on makeup, hair, fashion, fake nails, lashes, brows, jewelry, etc. It's fun to be into that stuff but they do put way more emphasis on it than they're "supposed" to according to the church.ohaudrey wrote:Can anyone educate me on how the Mormon church & religion views materialism and image?

Perfectionism is huge within LDS communities, and this absolutely extends to physical appearance. It isn’t an isolated issue with just the Griffiths. Utah has a high number of plastic surgeons for a reason.Sweetiebee wrote:They are encouraged to keep a neat and modest appearance.

Yeah, because all the Mormon boys are looking for a normal wife with a neat and modest look.Sweetiebee wrote:They are encouraged to keep a neat and modest appearance.

Shhhh. Don’t give her any tipsLiz_444 wrote:Bonnie is going to GAIN weight instead of losing it if she eats that "smoothie" every morning. It's packed full of carbs and sugar.
I didn't see if she added sweetened almond milk, but if she did, that's even more calories. Just the oatmeal by itself (one cup) has 300 calories. Add in 1/2 a large banana adds another 100 calories. Now she is at 400 calories. She added a heaping tablespoon of peanut butter, which is 180 calories. Almond milk, if unsweetened is about 120 calories for two cups. She measured the milk with all the other ingredients in the blender.....lol.....so I'm guessing on this amount.
Total = 700 calories Even if she gave some to the kids, she is still taking in about 500 calories just for breakfast.
BTW banana chips are just like candy....loaded with sugar! Grapes are a good snack, but they have lots of natural sugar too.
I grew up in Salt Lake City and I swear to God - EVERY SINGLE one of my friends/family who still live there has had some sort of plastic surgery. I never really thought about it until now, but between boob jobs, mommy makeover, gastrointestinal bypass, nose, lipo, jaw, teeth - i could go on and on. I moved three days after graduating from high school and only keep in touch with a handful of people but it’s crazy!! For years I couldn’t figure out why I was so focused on my outward appearance and insane about my weight but through this forum I realize that it was INGRAINED in me my entire childhood!!HelloSweetie wrote:Perfectionism is huge within LDS communities, and this absolutely extends to physical appearance.

Cue the tears in the next week or so how she went through all this pain and suffering and hasn't lost any weight. In fact she gained 10 pounds, errr 15 pounds. Of course it will have nothing to do with all the sugar she has eaten (per doctor's orders).HelloSweetie wrote:Shhhh.

I think it’s a given that she isn’t going to keep the weight off. She’s sedentary and completely justifies it, and opted to pay thousands instead of changing her eating habits in any big way.
