Nothing to Lose - trailer

[catsheri1]

Many of the people commenting on this video are just mad that these women don't need their approval.

[kennyb44]

Fat and beautiful!?!? If you are happy with who you are and where life has taken you...then enjoy. But as soon as your "life choices" start causing you to live off the system ,and everyone elses dime...then we have a major issue.

[punca]

I think that people who hate fat people really hate themselves.

[ChineseSkirt]

Fat people won't be accepted. Anorexia will always be.

The thing is that fat people have no control, they are bringing themselves there, i mean, you can't be fat by birth (i think).

However, anorexia is showing self-discipline through starvation.

Healthy/average people are "perfect" if I may say.

[Melancholikerin]

@ChineseSkirt There are actually quite a few medical conditions (some rare, some not so much) that can cause uncontrollable weight gain or loss. And both anorexia and morbid obesity can be caused by more complex psychological issues than just lack of control... Whilst i agree that many people could lose a few pounds without any major problems, don't forget that there really are some who can't. Cheers ;o)

(Hypothyroidism for example can be a bitch...)

[ofrah1]

@ChineseSkirt I find that comment to be extremely offensive! There is absolutely NO "virtue" in living like that. Even though people with anorexia experience a sense of control through cautious food selection, it is only false and fleeting because the overpowering outcomes are so destructive physically, emotionally, and psychologically.

[jpatrickbad]

Also go to any store or shopping mall, the vast space is dedicated to make-up,clothes,acessories, jewelry, and things for women! Men are pretty simple. I have three pairs of shoes, jeans, t-shirts, and 6 flannel shirts. I have a simple life. Women want everything to be perfect as if men cannot be happy with just being with a cute, loyal, and average girl. Not all women can get the hottest guys, and not all guys get the hottest girls. But, just because they want to you cannot judge them.

[toonlinkninja]

Fat acceptance? Do some actually pass this off as civil rights? Apathy. Apathy is the key.

[bodomXshredder]

If I get a tattoo on my face, that is my fault that people don't want me in the workplace and judge me. ANYONE CAN LOSE WEIGHT. If I have long hair, I would cut it if I didn't like the way I was viewed. BEING OBESE IS NOT NATURAL.

STOP lowering the standards because it is the easy way out. Yes, it takes motivation and hard-work to lose weight. What is wrong with motivation and hard-work? If you don't have enough of it to lose weight, then you aren't the type of person I want to employ.

[CoDfan2011mw2]

i just dont understand all of these prejeduce people. how come it is ok to discriminate, ridcule, hate, prejuduce against, ect, against fat people JUST because they are larger than the average person. they still have emotions, they have the right to healthcare, they have the right to ANYTHING that anybody else has. they are people too. in our world, we have ended prejuduce and descrimination against against ANYGROUP who has been discriminated against, now its time to end it for fat people.

[2JAMMY]

I love everybody! I don't care if your as thin as a rake or as fat as a bus. If you can smile at me and share a joke or two and have a half intelligent conversation and show a little compassion to everything on this planet - you are fine by me! I'll be your friend.

People have a little respect and a smile for yourselves and each other - It really does not hurt and it most certainly creates a nice and positive energy!! LOVE!! :):):)

[eji313]

Fat Acceptance? Please. It's one thing to accept people that might be a couple pounds overweight, hell even 20 pounds or so. But these people are obviously VERY overweight. They're taking the easy way out demanding acceptance instead of actively trying to reach a healthier weight. Being that fat isn't healthy and will drum up health issues and premature death. Being as large as the women are in this video isn't normal and we shouldn't lazily accept it as such. Eat better, and exercise.

[CuddleNation]

@eji313 That's their choice. If I wanted to throw myself in front of a bus right now do you honestly think you have any right to try and stop me?

[misterl0gic]

the chick at 0:50 is so hot

[can06]

Its funny how ppl think only America has obese ppl. I thought Greece was considered the fattest and China will soon follow.  America is not the fattest in the world.

[zperzp5]

broil food it is a hell of a lot tastier and healthier you should also take multivitamins im 12 and overweight not too severely but i take a multivitamin once a day and it really has helped me lose weight

[torifan2]

I agree with the person who said you can't just give up... you have to keep trying. You learn nothing from just "accepting" anything. Not a smart lesson to teach our children

[canonvox]

Your enormous ass is your own creation. Equating your struggle to the civil rights struggle is insulting, and asinine.

[wl0883]

@canonvox

+1

Well said, sir.

[JermzzzyFTW]

@canonvox OMG I totally get your point! Black people couldn't help that they're black- if they could they would SO obviously change their skin color so society could high five em.

You're an idiot. Please don't procreate. Thank you.

[762BR]

@JermzzzyFTW

LOL WUT?

[Prinder]

@canonvox Regardless of how someone becomes obese, they still deserve respect, just like everyone else. They are human beings; I think we all could stand to be reminded of that fact. Would you want your grandmother to be treated this way on the basis that she grew old? Would you want your best friend to be treated this way on the basis of their race, their sexuality, their religion? The treatment that so many larger people receive on a day-to-day basis is beyond cruel.

[Bananayoghurt1000]

@Prinder there is no choice in growing old or sexuality or race, getting fat is a choice, learn the difference as you are belittling the serious issues with regards to race etc

[livinn59801]

Wow! Proud to be fat, unhealthy, and digusting. Only in America!

[morimotodevo]

So true, I at least have some respect if youre trying to lose weight. But to totally give up because it's too hard, well I must say I lose all respect for you at that point.

The longest water fast lasted over a year, the guy lost 275 lb's I respect that. He had more will power than I ever could and he was over 400 lb's, weight lose can always be done if you want it.

[luxvoyager1111]

the point of this is acceptance of all people regardless of appearance.

(sorry, but b/c of youtube limits, i had to do this in 3 comments...so, i dunno if it will come out coherent or not)

[luxvoyager1111]

so, this country is a catalyst for unhealthy living and fat, while simultaneously present unrealistic images of skinny people.

while no one (i hope) thinks being unhealthy is a good thing, that doesn't mean that being fat is a bad thing. furthermore, there's a lot of people who are judged by their weight. many people who adapt a healthy lifestyle never get thin. and those who do adapt a healthy lifestyle should do it because they want to! not because they feel ashamed of themselves.

[luxvoyager1111]

i think most of the people commenting on this are COMPLETELY missing the point. this video isn't advocating unhealthiness, it is advocating ACCEPTANCE.

let's face it, america an a whole is unhealthy. why? we grow up on crap food and soda...we have advertising for all kinds of terrible food some places there are literally no healthy options available, and where there are, they are more expensive.

[HeartBreak1x]

Come on, this does not mean you should give up. Just because america is filled with bad foods means you should give up. I mean China makes a ton of crap for export but they do not say. "Oh Accept it for if you complain you are racist" they are literally changing the way they produce goods and that is a whole lot harder since our industry is 20 years behind. Eating Better and exercising does not cost a thing if an individual wills so.

[Cel3ry]

@luxvoyager1111 making excusses won't make u skinnier fatso. i live in america and i'm skinny.

[wade2bosh]

Most Fat Admirers are thin/avg weight men.

[davidberry1972]

Andi, Kimberly, and Sandy are so beautiful.  I have always been attracted to supersize bbws. I don't understand why most of society does not accept these type of women.

[Plato86]

Look I think BBWs are beautiful too, however when the size of your gut exceeds the size of your bust, it is time to lose some weight. It is one thing to be curvy and sexy, another thing to be seriously overweight and unhealthy.

[Loloshky]

lol don't jump to conclusions... I'm at a healthy weight (5'4" and 130 pounds) but being a small busted apple shape, my stomach sticks out a bit more than my chest. fml.

[canonvox]

Fat people have feelings too. Hunger is a feeling!

[JIMAAAAAAH]

hahaha

[Veronify]

who cares they are all going to die of cancer/heart disease/stroke/diabetes/abnea soon anyway . . .

[BklynSteez]

being fat is not a good thing... so u cant say im fat and proud just work hard and lose the weight but im not saying become a toothpick that doesnt look too good either

[0zzybloke]

i fucked a fat chick once when i was really drunk, it was fucking gross and she was the laziest shit root you could ever imagine. then the freaky bitch thought i was like her boyfriend or something just cause we'd screwed. i learn't my lesson.

[mandalorethecool]

well the problem might be you were drunk, ever think that?

[JadenTheCoolGuy]

I feel sorry for her ever having to come in contact with a creature as disgusting as you. Just the mere concept of a stupid, lazy and ugly person such as you makes we want to go throw up.

[cindylou22312]

Yeay for you Jaden...you are definitely a very cool guy! Thanks for such a sensible comment!

[KHayes666]

lol I like fat chicks and all I have to say is to all idiots that say everyone should be thin, you've never had sex with a fat chick before.

Try it sometime, I did :-)

[absongs]

i am fat and i'm not proud !!!

[feitur]

well you shouldnt be i was fat but im exercising very much now and loosing much weight and that is a very great feeling better then eating a fat burger

[TuRdSandwitch18]

it's not pregidist it's called life

[MickeyLove01]

this is just another video or newstory that attempts to justify being fat, that's what they all do...

[wiktorkramer]

stupid+fat=90% of America...

[cgshmonster]

I think it's brave of the people in this video to come out and say something that defies the popular moral panic about weight, and to open themselves up to the sort of lame criticisms that we see in these comments...

[popebunny]

Being a fatty isn't a disease because you can't catch it from another person. Unless... you know... you eat them.

Seriously, don't accept that your habits are making you unhealthy.  Fucking eat less and move more.

[MissThinWithin]

Popebunny:

I have to say that I disagree, you can catch fat. Let me tel u y.

I was always thin and then i started to hang around some fat friends I met in college, and usually when we hang out together we eat together so I started adopting their eating habits and before u know it I was 140 and 5'7" I felt disgusting so I started to lose weight and I would get negative remarks fr them like I dnt need to weight etc. so stopped hanging with them to focus on my goal. Now I am 110 and happy.

[SweetGoth]

that's just mean...hoping someone dies. For any reason. And just be thankful you aren't morbidly obese if you don't have that problem. So what if someone abuses their body to get that way? There are all kinds of reasons for that, probably psycological. However, I knew a kid who was morbidly obese and didn't do a damn thing to himself. His cousin told us he had a hormonal problem. I know another girl that cannot walk and gained weight because she had not walked since she was 3 years old.

[ShadowKat324]

I have no connections to any organizations, but I do have experience with the daily struggle for acceptance in a society that reveres anorexic looking women as its beauty standard. I may not be morbidly obese, but even with watching what I eat and exercising 4 to 6 days a week, I really haven't lost weight. Sometimes I just have to accept that fact and do my best to be as healthy as I can even though I am heavier than is considered "healthy".

[popebunny]

There is no way you will not lose weight if you expend more calories than you eat. You must be doing something incorrectly.

[cindylou22312]

If you believe that, read Linda Bacon's book, Health at Every Size.

[MisterSmartalick]

The NAFFA is such a joke. This is so counterproductive.

[spectre1234]

If these women spent the time they waste on trying to get accepted and instead used it for exercise and nutrition research, they wouldn't be fat.

[Gummianda]

I am just disgusted by how some people (including some who have commented here) truly believe that being fat is always one's own fault. It's NOT. Just like some people are naturally thin, others might be naturally fat. Eat a salad? Some actually DO eat salads! And excersize! And some do stay away from the twinkies! But for some reason, in your minds you think being fat = being gross selfish sweaty pigs who can't stop eating. Get a fucking reality check and stop jugding people by how they look.

[cyklonb1989]

people who are naturally fat are really the minorities. The majority are fat because they are lazy and have no self control. Yes, I judge people by their looks. It's not a sin. People like beautiful things. It has nothing to do with 'media influence'. Studies show even infants choose the pretty teacher than the fat ugly one.

[rooostercogburn]

Why so many thumbs down?

I agree, but they are also stupid. Many of them have 'tried every diet', but none of them seem to have any rudimentary knowledge of basic nutrition. Then they make claims it's impossible to lose weight and it pisses me off.

[mensacyclist]

"I am just disgusted by how some people (including some who have commented here) truly believe that being fat is always one's own fault. It's NOT"

No one is naturally morbidly obese, you dumb twat. It takes years of abuse and self hatred to get this big. The quicker they die, the better. Hopefully they wont get a chance to breed first.

[90cta395]

With all due respect, medical diseases that predispose people to obesity are rare at best. Obesity is the result of poor nutrition and lack of exercise. But obese people are still people, and deserve the same respect as everyone else. If a person wishes to live their lives overweight, we should respect that. But if a person wishes to lose weight, they must understand that they must make a lifestyle change-health and fitness is possible for everyone willing to make the commitment.

[cindylou22312]

good response. I do recommend that you read Linda Bacon Ph.D.'s book entitled Health at Every Size.

[guyverx5000]

I agree.

[pookoos]

NAAFA is dangerous for fat people like me. It's so easy to slip into denial. If you are HAPPY being obese then that's fine. I accept that and never sneer at anyone. However, I know that some of us blame society for our unhappiness and lack of control. I'm a food addict. Believe me, I wish society would endorse my addiction because then I would not have to struggle everyday for control. But I'd also be housebound or possibly dead. That's not what I should be striving for. Balance is the key.

[MadNotAngry]

I adore bright, well spoken, empowered women

[lonewolflovergirl]

If you make people feel terrible and useless for being fat, how do you expect them to believe that they have the strength to change themselves? All you'll end up with is a load of "sad people who eat lots of cream cheese". Having sad, guilty fat people is NOT an improvement on having happy, empowered fat people. Granted the health considerations and the effect on health services and so on, it might be better to have a society of thin people, but we're not going the right way about getting one.

[Smallthrill29]

Other putting ourselves down others do so too...which makes thoes who eat for stress reasons eat more.

[Smallthrill29]

Your very smart

[lonewolflovergirl]

And the people saying fat people should lose weight because they aren't attractive? TO YOU. May well be they're attractive to someone. And even if they aren't, they won't be any more attractive because they feel terrible about themselves.

If you constantly badmouth fat people and make them feel useless and a burden on society, that perpetuates the problem for a lot of people, because if you tell someone enough times that they're lazy and useless and have no self-control, they will believe it.

[lonewolflovergirl]

Well.

For starters, people who are complaining about "selfish" fat people squashing them on the bus...whether or not you're in the right here, you're being selfish yourselves by demanding that these people lose weight so YOU can have a bus seat. Selfish is not a good adjective to apply to someone when you're complaining about the minor discomfort they cause YOU.

[finleyna93dani]

the fat girl are beautiful

[wrightyisamiller]

A fat lady say next to me and for the rest of the way home I was CRUSHED against the side of the bus!

Learn to drive : ) reina

[cyklonb1989]

haha lol

[swensu]

hahahaha people seem mad about being squezzed on a bus by a big person so what do any of u suppose we do make bigger seats for them.

[litheshadow]

Bunch o' long-winded bullshit-spawners.

OK, we've all heard about the risks of being morbidly obese. Yes, we know that it makes life shorter, introduces diabetes, all that. BUT THAT'S ALL A LONG WAY OFF (until you're dying from it, that is)

BUT MORBIDLY OBESE PEOPLE ARE NOT GOOD TO LOOK AT.

They're not pretty. And saying that you're proud of being morbidly obese doesn't make you any prettier.

[AYIBOBO11]

If every one of these chicks had a magic pill to bring their BMI down to 19%, they would all take it. Proud to be fat is such a bullshit, they are just trying to find a way to adjust to their fat life.

[cyklonb1989]

oh man, you nailed it perfectly! exactly, the naafa shit is a sad joke to hyponotise themselves.

[enzedbrit]

Can I just say... yes I can... that it's easier for women to be fat - you can wear great clothes and makeup and still look attractive. Fat men are just... yuch.

[chichimahater]

Those are 3 of the most disgusting women I've ever seen. Lazy cunts, the lot of them.

[mihaispinoche]

it's so hard to go jogging ?

[Reina1369]

I went and looked up the NAAFA and I can not believe what I havce read. You want me to sit, crushed in my seat, and think nothing is wrong with that because the person next to me has no self control, is lazy, is a glutton and wants to impose that on me? You people need a reality check!

[Reina1369]

Let me see if I understand this. You want people to accept fat people, the strain they put on the health care system, their own bodies, peoples comfort, all the other things they impact negatively? I sat on the bus to come home today. A fat lady say next to me and for the rest of the way home I was CRUSHED against the side of the bus! And I am supposed to accept that? You need to get a grip, take some control and stop being such a fat selfish, greedy, lazy, pig! EAT SALAD, STAY OFF MY SEAT!!!!

[hunnibabi]

As Dr. Phil puts it...

"You're fat and don't try to sugar coat it because you eat that too"

[peacemtn]

Good luck. Not all people are model thin. There is a person in that body. It is not just about a person's weight but, the person inside too.

[SaturnAlien33]

This thread is an epic failure....

[ledzeppelin0907]

HAHAHAHAHAHA. National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance. Too funny!

[brick4sale]

No one should accept himself or herself being grossly overweight, but you lose weight once you decide to change and you need to feel confident within yourself to change.

[Balldez]

These fat slobs are bankrupting our health care system!

[poelover37]

I'm 288 pounds, and I sure don't like myself. I may be a good person, but I feel so yucky becuase of my weight. And I accept that men aren't going to like me this way either.

[fatlover007]

You are mistaken peolover37, you are a good person and there are men all over the world that would find you very attractive. Let your inward beauty shine through to the outside of you. Get some sexy clothing and get out and meet people! Go to BBW and SSBBW meetings and parties or if you are not an outside kind of person, get on one of the many chat lines for large people. Enjoy your life girl!

[brick4sale]

Maybe she wouldn't be attracted to those men

[vilemonkey]

These fat bloated "humans" would be attractive if I was a cannabal.

[sploshypaint]

how the fuck is she gunna find sexy clothes weighing 288 pounds?

[mamacitalinda4ever13]

well im a big girl and I made myself this way and trying to change that by eating right and working out and its not fun being this way but come on supporting this??? no wayy that will only lead us to our death! Im never going to be skinny but healthy yes i will!! and no one should be made fun off either bc if it comes down to that then overweight people should make fun of skinny people see how you like it! fucking idiots! thats to all the ones who said we should be made fun off!

[fatlover007]

Right On! mamacitalinda4ever13. Stand up for yourself!

[Balldez]

Being fat should be unacceptable and fat people need to be ridiculed because they do it to themselves.

NAAFA is a scumbag organization that is sponsored by Dimensions magazine which is a fat porno magazine.

Real men like thin women! Fat chicks smell like rotten fish.

[brick4sale]

Fat chicks don't smell and how do you know if you hate fat chicks.

[canonvox]

look, we don't have to hate fat people, but the DO smell, they DO waste resources, and it IS unethical to be morbidly obese in a world in which people are starving

[YourSkankyMom]

Plus sized activist? Sounds like a euphanism for "fat chick".

[labowskidave]

go for a run u fat fks

[metalheadmissy1974]

I am a fat person who's against size acceptance. I am also enrolled in a Bariatric Surgery program and going to get my surgery soon. i DON'T SEE WHERE ACCEPTING THIS DISEASE WOULD HELP UR OR FORCING OTHERS TO ACCEPT IT EITHER. SELF HELP thats how you get LOVE. self love =others love. people don't love to watch others destroy a part of them they see in themselves. i buck the NAAFa you suck .

[HolyBarnacles]

It's about accepting yourself REGARDLESS of what size you are. Just because you want to change, doesn't mean that you have the right berate people that don't want to (That may also be healthy the way they are), nor does it mean that these people don't have the right to love themselves. You are a prime example of what happens when weight loss attempts go the wrong way.

[windex72]

Obese people are not as healthy as people with a lower body fat %. And people do not eat healthy food to get that fat they are packing in trans fats like crazy. And if they don't want to change and they want to physically disable them selfs then they shouldn't complain when they have to buy two seats on an airplane. Naafa is just codeword for lazy people who wants society to shape around them.

[SuperSizedSexy]

I agree with, HolyBarnacles here - 100%. Just because you may not like your size doesn't mean others should not like themselves the way they are. You talk about getting love. Love starts with number one. You. You have to love yourself and that shouldn't be conditional on what size you are, metalheadmissy.

[vilemonkey]

you fat pig slop hog slobs.

Jabba the Hut is not a good role model!

You people sweat bacon grease.

Chewing bacon isn't a substitute for gum. You porkers smell like rancid pig feces. You are what you eat, so you're a walking deep fried lard-sicle.

Of coarse fat people are mental. They can't stop shoving mass into thier face.

I'm going to throw up now. Maybe all you sausage-fingers pig-grease-shake drinkers should try it too. But then you might eat it...bleeeeeewg

[HolyBarnacles]

If you would accept yourself in whatever skin you are in, it wouldn't be that you wouldn't want to change, but that you wouldn't VALUE YOURSELF because of change. You're going to be another weight bigot: I can sense it. Thanks for making my activism easier. I'm sorry I am not a bigot like you, and I've been thin this entire time.

[PsychicKnife]

Excuse me---disease? AIDS is a disease. Cancer is a disease.

[HolyBarnacles]

I'm a size/fat activist! I'm also thin, however. Though my weight does add sting to my message sometimes...

[jamy123jej]

ilove this kind of gurl

they rock n sexy
