This video isn't promoting the idealization of being overweight. It promotes HEALTHY body image. I'm a TriDelta myself and I am proud to be part of this campaign. Women on my college campus are too concerned with being thin and it's not healthy. I recovered from anorexia and I am still tempted today to lapse back into the trend of not eating...but things like this and the loving support of my sisters give me hope. The ideal "size" for women doesn't matter, what matters is being healthy and happy

Some people infuriate me.

The comments about it not being okay for women to be fat are disgusting. You know what's not okay? Putting people down who you don't even know. What's not okay is that 2 in 10 people with eating disorders die from it. What's not okay is that girls and women feel they have to be "skinny" so that people will like them, and everyone who is putting comments like "fat people are disgusting", you are just enforcing that belief. Who the hell are you to judge others?

please help start the change by leading us in the right direction. tell us "Instead of saying " you look great- did you lose weight? " tell COULD say instead, like " you look wonderful! are you taking vitamins?" or what ever.... we need direction for the change to take place. thank you and keep up the good work!

@Snakezzz Most women don't like fat men, either. "Fat" is unhealthy because it brings on heart disease, diabetes, etc. However, anorexia and bulimia are not healthy, either. I have an hourglass figure and I love it (in fact most heterosexual men do, too). I will never starve myself to be "attractive" to men. No woman should. Confidence in oneself is what is sexy, regardless of weight. You need to grow up.

@eckhard Lettuce be real? I do hope that's a pun and you're not so stupid to spell "let us" as lettuce...

At first, I thought this was gonna go in a non superficial direction that actually matters, but...

@sxswitch NO. Did you not read the part that says "The Healthy Ideal looks different on everyone" at 1:36 It means be healthy, and don't kill yourself trying to lose weight.
