Is hate how the sizing if women's clothing in general depends on the store, the brand, your body type, the phase of the moon, the day of the week, if it's a leap year, Ect.
Lydia Dick Agreed. Even in the store I work, I can potentially wear a 4, 6, or 8, depending on the "fit" of the pants we're talking about. Why would a 4 and an 8 EVER fit the same person?!
You do realize that every damn place that sells clothing as wack sizing no matter what your weight. Only the plus sized people have more problems cuz once you get too big it's hard to guess just how big you need it. It's easier to know the average than the people who are above average if that makes sense. Plus sized people vary a lot and they don't really feel like making another 30 specific sizes just for them. Does it suck? Yes. Is it unfair? Yes. But it's business. Companies don't care. They make enough without plus sized people buying their stuff. some companies are paid not to make plus sized in an effort to make people lose weight
People these days are so sensitive about everything. If you're overweight then you're overweight. If you're underweight then you're underweight. It's unhealthy but that doesn't mean you aren't beautiful. You just need to try your best to lose/gain weight or find alternatives to become more healthy. Some people like bigger girls, some people like thinner girls. We should all be able to openly express what we find attractive without being accused of body shaming.
+ElectricMayhem87 we shouldn be supporting people for being fat nor should we be shaming them but we SHOULD help them lose weight because being fat IS NOT A GOOD THING
dear fat people: when someone fat shames you ,you have no need to justify yourself like "I eat healthy" or "I work out". You are worthy of respect wether you are healthy or unhealthy.
They know they aren't the same size. They were going off measurements from the women and online sizing guides. The fact it didn't fit is the point - You cannot have plus size clothes that are just made to a measurement as everyones body is different! A 3x in any clothing will fit one person yet not another. Thereby plus size clothing manufacturers need to go back to the drawing board.
"if they just lost weight they wouldn't have to deal with this" so, if one of these women decided that she wanted to lose weight, she should just have no clothes during the months/years it actually takes to become thin? y'all make no sense
Aubrey Jane Valenzuela But clothes that don't fit and that would be uncomfortable? Okay. Go out and buy some clothes that don't fit and are very uncomfortable.
It's weird to me that American clothing stores often don't sell plus size in person or have a limited selection when 2/3 of Americans are overweight. Seems it should be the other way around if they want to make the most money
The store system sucks all together because they assume everyone in America is about a medium short stature person, so if your plus size ( or 5'8 and a size zero) you'll never find what you need
Janay Gunderman Yeah but 2/3 Americans aren't 3XL. If you wanted to cater to the largest demographic these women would still be underrepresented. Also these women's body types despite being the "same size" were radically different. Its more complicated than simply putting more fabric into an item. Throwing more money into it doesn't mean it would yield more returns.
Tessa is so gorgeous but I can't help myself from asking if that is unhealthy? I don't want to sound ignorant because I genuinely don't know much about health and plus size women
They said in the beginning that the people who made the video measured them and ordered clothes using the site sizing chart. That was literally the whole point of the video was how hard it is to buy clothes online using their online measurements when you can't try it on.
@@dontknow7796 The Forever 21 dress fit her and was big on Kristen, and it looked okay on Sheridan. I wear a bigger size in bottoms than I do in tops. She looks top heavy, so she could wear a smaller size in pants and need a bigger size for her chest.
@@dontknow7796 Depends on the brand. Some shops vanity size by 2-3 sizes, or make clothes incredibly stretchy so they'll fit the sizes above. My mum is on the lower end of plus size and has encountered this before, mostly at plus sized stores. Also, the pants didn't fit. They were too small at the back and didn't cover her butt.
online shopping in general is difficult because everyone is different and shaped differently and you really have to try the clothes on to see if they are for you.
Dilynne Stuthers Yes but you, as a "skinny" person, can go into a store and try it on. They can't, their only source is online shopping, so that's why this video was made.
Torrid's bathing suits are the bomb. I like alot of their tops and adore their pencil skirts how they go below the knee just enough to make that hourglass pop. But their dresses and jeans and shorts are not very flattering in general.
Danny Nielsen Torrid definitely have some amazing clothes but not all the time. I notice the “flower trend” on plus sizes and it’s annoying. Also, I think they went with normal and nude colors to try and highlight their body and how it would look on them
My problem is, you don't see alcoholics promoting being an alcoholic, because people just inherently know alcohol is bad for your body and mind in excess. In psychology, it is a bad idea to enable alcoholics. So why is it okay for morbidly obese people to pretend like there's nothing wrong with being morbidly obese? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but health is not an opinion. So by pretending with them, would I not be enabling them?
SkitterNSnicklez I completely agree and I'm considered morbidly obese. I found a healthy lifestyle to follow and I'm working on losing weight. I love myself and body enough to feed it healthy food and work out regularly but I've never understand why people think loving your body means everyone has to agree with you being unhealthy. I'm clearly obese because I was not healthy.
SkitterNSnicklez Totally agree. This whole "women with curves are beautiful" thing has completely taken over the media and all they're focusing on is the appearance part of things. If you're obese and you love the way you look, great - I'm happy for you! But the more important side to this is that being morbidly obese leads to major, MAJOR health problems, including death. It's a serious epidemic and we're making it seem like it's no big deal and it needs to be accepted.
Eva Silver Sorry. I will try not to comment a lot. I don't want to be like this one girl who comments on buzzfeed vids all the time. I think her name is immajeans or something close to that, I don't know.
Wow, almost nobody in this comment section understands nutrition standards and basic body differences. People can appear to be "overweight" and still be perfectly active and healthy. It's only when you become obese to the point where it impedes your movement and becomes a danger to your heart and blood pressure that it becomes an issue. The woman with glasses in this video could easily be deemed healthy by her doctor, it's just that her body has problems with fat distribution. Jesus, people, you're not fucking experts on the subject, stop acting all high and mighty like you have the right to judge others based on your perception of their "health" (which you probably don't even fully understand).
Thank you for having some sense!!!! Lord these people don't understand that fat distribution is out of everyone's control. Yes Tess is obese; however the other two women probably just have bad fat distribution. Yes, they can work out to keep the fat off but if the fat will always target their stomach, breast, and thighs then they can't change their body's fat distribution pathways. I am considered obese...but that's because I'm 5'5 lol and I don't look like I'm pouring over with fat I look similar to the lady with the glasses..I have poorly distributed fat..don't come for me I am actually working out to stay healthy!! But people need to think more like you.!
Claydad45 Sweetie, I'm 5'7" and 129 pounds, I'm not speaking for myself. I've taken enough graduate level nutrition and health classes (a year's worth) to know how fat distribution works and that based on height and frame, not everyone can get below size 12 clothes. Take some health classes.
Gabby Gregory I agree, I think Tess is too overweight for her own good. I hope she manages to lose some weight. People don't realize there's more than one body shape and a slew of different health factors, for men AND women.
Lynne the Trendy Tetraodontiforme The only woman I really take issue with is Tess; the other two look fine to me. 5'5 and 160 here, so take my opinion as you will. Granted that's at 32; in my 20's I was 115. I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss it. :p Remember folks, your metabolism goes to shit when you hit 30, so get your kicks in now!
Lynne the Trendy Tetraodontiforme "her body has problems with fat distribution." HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH Now being fat is just an illusion. She's not really fat her body is just acting up and putting fat everywhere. Yeah, you can be healthy and obese, but you won't stay that way for long. Someone who is as big as tess and stays that way for years will have health problems guaranteed. A big body puts a lot of stress on your heart and other organs, and excess fat causes inflammation.
Yeah, I mean it's understandable. I use to be 185 (5'5) and it was hard to find clothing- so you just give up. I lost 60 pounds in two years. Gaining the weight is easy but getting rid of it means patience. During my weightloss my clothing was always too big or too little, or just bulged in the wrong places and it's super uncomfortable. I'm now healthy for my height and couldn't be any happier but I sympathize with overweight people because I was one at one part of my life. Just because they're fat doesn't mean they don't deserve fitting clothing. You know? It would have saved me tons while getting rid of the weight,
Ashley Williams Well, sometimes being fat isn't a choice. It can be because of genetics that someone is overweight. This results in being unable to control it at all, so exercise or not, nothing can be done for these kinds of people. Yoga pants are the only things that can fit larger people because barely any store sells a variety of XL+ sized clothing. The problem isn't unhealthy diet or lifestyle.
Tess's face doesn't seem to match the rest of her body.. It's much slimmer, I would have expected a bigger face howeverrrrrrrrrr I can see why she's a model, wow.
It was more than a little awkward seeing how hard Tess fudges her size. 22? Girl. Giiiiiirl. That's gotta be some serious insecurity talking. I would feel bad if she wasn't a scammer.
it's also been rumored that she has her modeling photos photoshopped so much that it's almost unrecognizable afterwards. and she lies about her size. girl is obviously insecure.
It's just like when people lie about their height like you can be 5'2 and someone shorter than you can stand next to you and say "oH iM 5'5" I don't mind Ur height or weight but like people don't gotta lie it is what it is
She lies about her weight. There are earlier modeling pix of her where she stays shes 280 from like 2011 which next to the photos of her now theres a massive difference shes def in the upper 300s
All of you idiots here in the comment section need to STOP saying this. It’s rude and does not need to be said. It’s NONE of your business what size she is. You need to stop guessing what her size is when you’re not her. You don’t even know her. Please don’t comment if you have nothing kind or helpful to say.
I'm overweight because I'm on cortisone to battle a disease. I eat just like I ate when I was thin: Healthy and less than most people. So I would like to say that some overweight people you see? It might not be their fault.
+An account Same here. I was born with a spinal malfunction that crushed a couple discs. So it really annoys me when people say 'just run it off' lol I literally can't run, so I can't run it off.
AlliArt15 I know right, a lot of people have their reasons but it's not like we can write it on us like a tee saying "I have a spine problem, that's whyyy!", haha. People need to give a little more thought. (Sorry bout the spine problem btw, hope it doesn't cause you much trouble apart from running :)
An account I totally agree! Not every fat person can tell you their long story about why they can't control their weight. And it has caused me a lot of problems but I've really learned to love life and myself despite of it :) It was a long hard journey but I'm happy where I am.
***** I am still fat lol So what? Does this make me less of a person? My health isn't an excuse, I AM FAT. But I'm not going to spiral into depression out of insecurity because despite my weight and my spinal condition, I can love my life. What's so bad about that?
Tess has such a pretty face but her body is under so much strain from the extra weight. And before you come at me: I am a dietetics student who’s been overweight, underweight and obese seen 15 so yes I know what she’s going through
No you don't. You are not their doctors. I know one of them at least has polycycstic ovarian syndrome which is a hormonal disturbance which causes lany health issues from infertility, to diabetes and obesity. Many other women have hypothyroid disease which can do the same. People need to stop judging and realize that weight is not always about what you eat! Gah! So tired of the intolerance of our LGBT, religious, racial, political "tolerant" society! Its not tolerant till its tolerant ro everyone!
@@mellie4174 you do understand that regardless of the reason someone is overweight it is NEVER healthy for them? it is very clear that the purpose of her comment is only out of concern so you really have 1) no reason to become so irritated over it and 2) no reasonable standings to suggest that people are 'intolerant' of the minorities you listed.
we poppin but like what if that’s an insecurity of hers and it is just getting pointed out. You don’t know what she is doing ya to help it so you can’t say that she is doing it wrong.
@ Monica Martin Same here...I go from a small at one store for tops to a fucking extra large in others...I mean I've got a little bit of fat here and there but it shouldn't be that extreme...
Brian Patrick van Oers It probably depends on the target of the clothing line is and whether or not the company participates in vanity sizing. Amanda brought up the example of Abercrombie and Fitch and how she fits in a s-m but is xxs elsewhere. It's because they cater towards smaller people (let's be real here), teens, etc. Going to Target or Walmart where a huge portion of the population shops, sizes will generally be larger.
fat person: [is confident] ppl: STOp promoting ObesitY!!!!!! fat person: [talks about wanting clothes that fit them and actually make them feel confident] ppl: [without knowing their health situation, acknowledging the fact that losing weight is hard and while trying to lose weight ppl still want clothes that fit them and make them feel nice, and that just because a person is fat doesn't mean they deserve to feel unconfident] stop promoting OBesity!!!!!!!!!1 fat person: [is treated like a human] ppl: stop promoting obesity!!!1 like u ppl are ridiculous. these r ppl's bodies. it does not matter if they are the most unhealthy person in the world, they should have confidence. that is so important. because the point of a person losing fat should be for health, not so that they can actually have any sort of self esteem. u ppl are grouchy because these women are asking for clothes that actually properly fit them and make them feel nice? a ton of u are saying they can't have that because they're fat? love ur rolls and ur chub.
SAM TUN actually, it is for a lot of people. everyone's bodies and metabolism's are different. some people don't have the funds to strictly buy healthy food, and there are so many other factors that can stop you from losing weight. this feels like a troll comment so i won't pursue it further, but ppl deserve respect regardless of their weight or situation.
***** You said it beautifully. I can't stand the fact that, despite what we (lie and) tell our children, kids might grow up, but they don't stop being bullies.
Ford those of you who truly appreciate that even obese women want to wear pretty clothes, there's a video on youtube where these really cute, "full figured" gals appeal to designers to make clothes in their sizes. People SLAMMED then, saying they're condoning obesity, etc. (We all have our vice. I wonder which one had no sin! ) If you can find that video, do so and compliment these ladies. If you can't find it, I'll look around and post it.
This isn't specifically a "Plus-Size" issue .. this is an issue for women in general. I say this because there are so many parts of the female anatomy that differs a lot from woman to woman; The ratio between height, shoulders, chest, waist, hips, and thighs, can differ quite a lot depending on the particular woman you measure, and this makes every piece of none-tailored clothing to fit differently on every single woman...
***** I'm glad someone else made this comment as well. It took me digging down a little to find it but here it is haha and men go through it as well, just doesn't seem to be as common or as much of an issue for them.
khoreiaologist Men tends to have a more even ratio between shoulders, chest, and hips. The biggest variation between individual men tends to be length and gut. The most common issue I've encountered personally is that shirts are usually too short...
***** Just going to say I don't think the point of this video was to say sizing is an issue only for plus size people. The point of this video is that these cloths were ordered online not in a store going by the size guild most of the cloths did not fit. The point being in the end that there are very few plus size stores. More often than not plus size people have to order online to get a better selection; how ever this can be frustrating and a waste of money not being able to try before you buy. (Most online stores don't refund shipping) People who are not plus size have quite a large selection of stores they can turn to and can try the cloths on before they buy. That was the point of this video.
Your right, it’s not. However, some people have health issues that cause them to gain heavy amounts of weight. Some people have illnesses that cause lots of weight gain. Maybe she has no control over it.
marissa jackson SHUT UP. According to EVERYONE, all fat people have medical issues. If they really try hard enough, they CAN lose weight, medical issues or not
I am SOOO very back and forth about this video. On the one hand, people should live their lives as they want, thin or fat, gay or straight etc etc. On the other hand being fat is not healthy and I don't know if empowering fat people is the best thing to do either. ALSO, if we now expect clothing stores to carry an even greater range of clothing sizes we are putting an even larger strain on the environment and natural resources. I think we should be an open-minded society but we should also encourage people to be healthy (please don't leave stupid comments about how you can be fat and healthy - it's not healthy PERIOD) and more earth conscious.
tosheatower You could go with "Hey other people's bodies are not my business and I have no idea what the status of a person's health is at a glance and it's none of my business anyway so it's not my job to tear people down because I've decided I don't like their body shape/size." That's a good direction to go in. Run with that.
First off I prefer dating people who are overweight and find it attractive, but that doesn't relieve me of being honest and pragmatic. If you are fat - fine, but stop trying to make it seem like it's healthy or a chronic issue. It's unhealthy and usually stems from too much eating and too little exercise. The same just the facts and that type of behavior should not be mainstreamed. That's all I'm saying.
tosheatower You can also say, Well fat people need clothes no matter what their health status. And really, if we are going to go down that route, take clothes away from smokers, alcoholics, drug abusers....anyone who you think is living an unhealthy lifestyle. Make them wear shitty stuff and tell them its their fault they can't get work or are treated poorly because they aren't dressed appropriately.
@wishIwerewitty - it makes perfect sense to someone who can separate attraction from logic. Yes, I find people that are overweight generally more attractive than skinny but that doesn't negate the fact that it is unhealthy. That's like a smoker saying just because he likes smoking all of a sudden it's healthy... as a society we need to learn separating feelings from facts, whereas I FEEL everyone should be treated with dignity the FACT is being extremely overweight is unhealthy. @eQuality - did you actually watch the video? I am not saying they shouldn't have clothing it was about regular clothing stores being forced to feature large sizes and the extra strain that has on resources and that it shows support for unhealthy living.
Yeah you can be fat and healthy but RARELY are you fat and healthy when you're 186kg and your muffin top is hanging above your knees. It's great when people can have a positive mindset but being healthy still concerns your physical state. Note that just because you're skinny, doesn't mean you're healthy either!
The problem with fat is that it sits differently on every person. Clothing companies can't be expected to make 5+ different shaped dresses of the same 'size' to suit each major composition of fat- that's what measurements are for. I'm not saying large people can't be beautiful but when you have THAT much excessive body weight, it's not the responsibility of clothing departments to cater to a person who has 30% more fat on her lower belly in comparison to her underarms.
Nope, that's what the point of having the ability to try it on before you buy it is for. To see how that item looks on your own fat distribution. Which is the whole point of the video. Measurements don't work that way. It will tell you very little about the actual body shape, other than size of boobs, butt, waist, etc. But there's a lot of room in between those measurements to have rolls lol. I'm fat so I can comfortably say all of this. We need stores to carry more of our sizes.
Tipsylou I never said it wasn't lol. But a skinny person has the ability to go and try on the majority of what they want to purchase. Us larger folk are stuck with whatever tiny selection a store happens to have for us. The difference is solely in the fact that the vast majority of clothing available to try on in stores is for 'normal' size people. See what we're saying? Obviously thinner people have the same challenges when online shopping, but it's painfully obvious that when you're heavy there's no rhyme or reason to where your fat deposits are. When you're thinner you don't have the fat deposits to be as big of an issue (pun intended.)
+Zamanta Fabela I bet you're one of those people that always say 'you can't tell I'm not healthy' and then see an extremely skinny person and then say 'wow, you need to eat more, you're anorexia'.
I lost 1.4 pounds in the last 2 days. Around 50 pounds total in the last 5 years. I really wanted to say that. Some things people can't tell you about being fat is... 1.) It's hard to breath. You don't know it while you're fat but after losing weight and gaining it back, you'll know 2.) It's hard to sleep at night 3.) Things hurt NOT because you're lazy, but because your body is warning you 4.) You WILL be hungrier because your body wants you to live, not starve to death. Eating less makes you hungry and if you want to lose weight, you have to either be hungry or drink lots of water and fresh foods 5.) You could lose 30 pounds nobody would know you ever lost weight if you're still fat I'm being serious here. This is for all those people who hate fat people. Let's say you're a smoker(statistically about 1 in 5 of you are) and you used to smoke a pack a day. If you cut it down to only 1 cigarette a day, you'd be proud of yourself right? So how would you feel if someone called you a dirty smoker and told you that you were doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to better your health? C'mon, you can't tell whether somebody tried or not by looking at them...unless you knew them.
***** My mother raised me to not say anything if I had nothing positive to say. My mother always taught me that if my first instinct was to judge someone, to immediately put myself in their position, to imagine myself as them. Or that if I was going to judge someone, to just not fucking say anything. People will never ever understand this, because they don't want to put themselves in anyone elses' shoes. They don't want to look at things from a different perspective. These people, these people who automatically judge? They just want to feel better about themselves. Whether it's "I look WAY better than that person!" or "Today I told someone to lose weight!1 I sure am a good person because I totally care about people!!!" They just want to feel better about themselves.
Sasha U No one ever taught me to think the way your mother taught me, but I do. I just feel that it's right. I'm gonna teach my kids to think the same way.
***** You should not be hungry when you're on a diet. If you are always hungry, that probably isn't real hunger and you should learn to know the difference between your body asking for food and your brain telling you to get food because you're bored or something. You have to be eating enough calories to feel satiated, eating such a caloric deficit that you are constantly hungry means that you are depriving your body of the nutrients it needs. Find a good caloric limit and stick to it, you'll eventually lose weight and not be miserable while doing it.
the main problem with this video is that they are clearly NOT all the same size. dont try to tell us that they are all size 3X or the same pants size. we have eyes and we can tell that they are definitely not and the fact that the clothes fit them all completely differently proves that. if one model can wear the skirt and the other cant even put it over her legs then there is no way that they are the same size. end of story
how can that even be true that 'this is the point of video' at all? they can only be the same 'size' no matter what guide you use if all three of them have the exact same measurements. So basically they are trying to tell us that all of them have a bust of 49-51 and hips of 52-54? Thats clearly insane (given both tess and kristin are the same height as well), and unless we are blind thats not true!
Exactly, my wife is a uk size 8/10 (us 4/6) and she avoids buying things online, unless she really really likes them and it is through Amazon Prime so she can give them back for free. This is not only a thing for plus-size women, it is for most people. Like, sometimes I have seen her ordering bigger sizes so they will be long enough for her arms/body/legs, and having them fixed to fit her. Online shopping is a pain for everyone.
[I'm not excluding the other models, and this is my opinion]. But the first lady is so pretty ♥. I know she was wearing make-up, but the way she had it styled, and her hair made her look really gorgeous.
mrtvydean 20 / 20 vision, it's so nice of you to worry about my vision. As for your opinion... you might wanna see a therapist to work out your judgmental issues :)
lsghPS That is so mean! Don't say that about others! How would you feel if someone said this about you and you were a "fat person" in "society ranking"? You don't have any right to say that about her since you don't know her!
I normally wear clothes that are one size bigger than my actual size bc I think it's more comfortable for school imo. And in winter the girl Who are bigger wear jackets that doesn't fit them and I get Kind of anonymes by that
My proportions are weird so in like 7th grade I gave up on my shirts being simultaneously too loose and too baggy and ripped them all into muscle tees and I legit didn't wear sleeves for a good three years
God damn, they're all incredibly gorgeous okay. But what I hate is people glorifying obesity and anorexia. Of course it's brilliant that these women love themselves and I am *not* fat shaming, but being obese *is not healthy whatsoever* and neither is being too skinny. I have no problem with these women, my problem is the people who act like being morbidly obese is a good thing. It can create a whole hoard of health issues and so being underweight, but of course it doesn't mean they aren't beautiful. I understand some people may have health problems and genetics that have caused them to be the weight they are, but some people are far too ignorant and need to accept the truth.
+Mermaid Motel but like... where in the video are those people? why did you make this comment on this video, when it has nothing to do with what the video is about? making unnecessary comments about how concerned you are about fat people's health whenever they visibly exist irl or on the internet is fat shaming, or at the very least annoying.
I totally understand where mermaid motel is coming from like I'm so happy that they accept and love themselves like good on them and not that it promoted being fat anywhere in this video at all but I think that glorifying plus sized models is just glorifying obesity as okay when it's not, it's unhealthy and life threatening in some cases.
+Gianna Coggiola well that's just it, "obesity" is a medical term, and it implies health risks, but we don't know if any of those three women are at risk of anything. You may assume that they are but you really don't know
i have the same problem but for shoes! im a size 11.5 and almost ALL women shoes end in stores and online at a size 10, like please make shoes bigger! i know im not the only tall girl who doesn't want to wear mens shoes for the rest of my life!
I wear a size 10.5 in women's shoes and I still have quite a few years before my feet stop growing. The worst part is that I'm 5'1 with really big feet. It just doesn't look proportionate.
Marissa noel I'm glad to see I'm not the only girl with this problem. I wear a 11 wide, and can NEVER find cute heels. Something needs to be done. At least Steve Madden in the 90's had my size.
Madi Tonges I feel your pain. Occasionally I may find something that fits my feet in woman's shoes, but never something cute. My mom wanted to give me all of her cute shoes but they are all size eights or nines with a few tens (Which I can fit into on occasion, but never for very long.) and those shoes haven't fit since I was 13. My dad's shoes fit me perfectly though! Grr. At least he has nice taste in shoes. Just want some cute heels and flats. I do have some though, thank god for Naturalizer or I would not have any cute shoes to wear ever! And even then I can only find something I like sometimes...
Some of these comments are annoying.....First of all, none of you care about them being healthy you just care about them being fat. Secondly it might not be their fault that they are big..there are diseases and cases that makes it harder to lose weight for certain people. Also .....They still need clothes to wear! You want them to be naked forever until they lose weight?! My sister has been trying to lose weight for 3 years....do you want her to be walking around with nothing on all that time? Put yourself in their shoes before you judge. What if you were fat then I bet you wouldn't like what people say about you. Its not like they can just starve themselves because that would make matters worst ... Think before you speak.....
***** But it isn't always about THEM eating. Some babies are born huge because the mom over eats. And then the baby will be harmed for a long time just because of one little mistake. "Put the fork down". They have to eat too and they most of the time have bigger appetites . So no matter what its going to be hard. Almost everyone likes food. Even if your skinny or thin you can be unhealthy by eating badly. The only difference between fat people that eat a lot and skinny people that eat a lot is most skinny people are blessed with fast metabolism meaning they don't gain weight as quickly. They CAN lose weight but it will take a while
+Ally B I didn't say all skinny/thin people but most of them..because it is true. Whatever I still proved my point it doesn't matter what we debate or argue in this morbid conversation. I philosophize and theorize I can't help my mind. I really don't care anymore I've stated all of my facts.
+Ally B And actually they are "blessed" because some people don't have time to fix their bodies. No matter what I say and no matter what you say, this conversation will always be debatable.
+Ally B And not all fat people sit on the coach and eat like crazy. Some people ARE fat because they DONT eat. There are multiple ways people gain weight. It doesn't matter though because us arguing isn't going to change the situation AT ALL.
+DeadKarp Im not fat though....so get your facts straight. And that's not considerate to those people who are actually exercising and trying to lose weight but are still in the "fat" or "overweight" category. I USED to be huge in elementary school. I tried to kill myself multiple times because of it. I was only fat because everyone in my family is overweight just about. I actually occasionally starve myself today because I know I'll never fit the standards of being fit. But I don't care! because I'm healthy and that's all that matter...not what everyone else thinks. So maybe one day someone will kill themselves over something on the internet or trying to be like everyone else. Newsflash no one cares anymore. You are who you are .
Ulan Mamytov A wise person once said, and I quote, " Don't argue with an imbecile because you'll just descend to their level and they'll win by experience."
PEOPLE WHO ARE OVERWEIGHT NEED CLOTHING TOO! SOMETIMES IT IS VERY HARD TO LOSE WEIGHT! MY MOM HAS BEEN TRYING TO LOSE WEIGHT FOR OVER 10 YEARS! SHE STILL NEEDS CLOTHES TO WEAR!! HER SIZE DOES NOT MATTER! *YOUR SIZE SHOULD NOT DICTATE WHETHER OR NOT YOU GET TO LOOK CUTE AND WEAR CLOTHING THAT FITS* YOU PEOPLE ARE SO IGNORANT I WANT TO VOMIT TELLING SOMEONE TO "JUST LOSE WEIGHT" IS SO INSENSITIVE AND IF ANYONE EVER SAID THAT TO ME OR SOMEONE I LOVE, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, I WOULD PROBABLY EAT THEM TO PROVE MY POINT PLEASE STOP YOUR IDIOCY AND ACTUALLY BE KIND AND THINK
Exactly, wait should never matter. Not to mention that there are really healthy big people and really unhealthy little people. How you eat dose not always have to deal with it. I'm Plus size and my best friend is a size three. She eats more then I do and I'm the one shoes big. Remember that all people come in different shapes and sizes. No two people are exactly the same.
Thank you! I have a big stomach but up that doesn't mean I'm not healthy. I eat good food, I get a good amount of physical activity...just because I'm overweight doesn't mean I'm unhealthy. Previous experiences have led up yo me having a VERY slow metabolism, so please think before you judge. Don't judge someone's weight without knowing there history.
Elaine Mcg God Bless you and your family. Sometimes people actually do have conditions like weight problems and stuff and they cant help it. And it isnt easy to lose weight so God Bless her, I hope she is doing well.
Amanda Vodder true!! Im really thin and I struggle finding jeans that fit me correctly. It's always loose and at the end of the day I go home with nothing lol
Amanda Vodder I know, I just recently bought a pair of high-waisted jeans from h&m, they're like these superstretch jeans and I have bought many of those exact same jeans in the exact same size, most I bought where the black variation, but I decided to buy denim, I ordered exact same jeans and size just different colour, but instead of the size 4 I ordered the waist was twice as small as normal, it was absolutely ridiculous.
Very true. But the point of this video is saying that plus size size clothing is hard to find in store. At least we can go in store and don't have to use online. Plus sized people have to use online most of the time and it's ridiculous.
1) The fact that all three of these girls are generally 3Xs despite being very different sizes 2) the fact that both that too-small skirt and those too-loose pants are the same size. This explains so much about how sizing it messed up for women's clothing. Nobody's asking for perfectly tailored clothing to every body shape, just for the opportunity to try on the clothing so they at least know if it'll fit right or not before purchase.
Yall talking about "buying clothes online is hard for skinny girls too!11!!" but forget that you at least have the option of going in stores. Plus size girls don't get that luxury, and if so then its a very small selection.
homedecorbudgetista Is it really okay to accept obesity though? You can't deny the major health problems that come with being this big. People get bothered by it because the more society pushes to accept this as normal, the more unhealthy people will continue to be, not to mention how negatively this effects children growing up with poor examples of healthy lifestyle. Although everybody is free to live their life as they wish you can't choose the consequences.
I didn't see any of these women asking you or anyone for permission regarding how they want to live their lives. If they're happy, then why are you bothered?
Ashley Casey anorexia is a thing that can literally put your life to risk at any moment ? somebody being overweight doesnt mean their unhealthy. im 17 pounds overweight but i've still been told by my doctor that theres no need to worry because i am extremely healthy. anorexia is a serious problem that can lead to death and is usually from an eating disorder. people with anorexia hate themselves, so they stare themselves or throw up their food. anorexic people don't think they're good enough or that they're not skinny enough. maybe it would be better if we dropped this whole "fat people are disgusting" act and skinny and fat people would be able to love themselves more ?
KRISTIN LOOKS AMAZING! I remember seeing her in the one size fits all video and wow, she seems to have lost weight. Not just that, because she was of course beautiful to begin with, but she's just really pretty and knows how to play up her best features. She seems so confident in her own skin and is beautiful inside and out! What an inspiration
I was thinking the same thing! Like not in a "I'm disgusted with your size blah blah blah" but as a plus size woman. I relate to Kristin's body type a lot- we're similar, i just have broader shoulders...but i'm also a bit smaller than her pant size. My point is i *know* I'm not the same size as Tess, i use to admire her as a bigger woman in the modeling industry because plus size is not really plus size when it comes to modeling. Point is, her sizing is just definitely off..
whenever I see her and see it said that she's a size 22, all I can think is "I must be gigantic!"...but those size 28 shorts looked good on her, even if they were a bit loose. based on my own experiences with torrid, they probably would have fit me. I feel better now. lol
+Anna BerrieBlu See, I love Torrid! Their stuff fits me very well. But I'm also very curvy. My hips are much bigger than my waist, and I have D or DD breasts. I'm definitely an hourglass shape.
I just want to start off by saying these women are very beautiful, especially Tess. But aren't they at an unhealthy weight? I mean, no fat shaming here, but isn't that too much? I am just concerned for them. It doesn't seem too healthy.... I don't know how else to put it. I am sorry.
May Athena Perhaps they are, but something you should consider is the fact that just because someone is skinny does not make them somehow healthy. A girl at crossfit is about a 2x, but today she finished half Murph (0.5 mile run, 50 pull-ups, 100 push ups, 150 squats, 0.5 mile run). She was going faster than someone who was super skinny. Truly, we cannot assume that weight = health. We don't know anyone's habits or what they are doing to take care of themselves. :-D Also, I did half Murph today, too. I am not overweight, but I definitely have trouble running due to being an injured gymnast. I've been called fat before (again, healthy weight), but no one realizes that 3 years ago I almost needed a cane because my knee was in such bad shape (I was 24 years old). Truly, we never know someone's stories.
BroadwayPhoenix But we do know that a 42.9 BMI is 'dangerously severely extremely obese.' There are people that can live with bullets in their brains for years. Still...not everyone will survive that, and advertising brainbullets would be irresponsible.
Widdekuu91 I think you make a valid point, but one issue with this argument is that people always seem to imply that obesity is being made into a trend or something you should strive to be ('advertising brainbullets'), but if we're being realistic, there is virtually no one telling you to be bigger. So yes, we should ultimately strive to be healthier people, but you're never going to help yourself out by pitying and hating that 'bullet in your brain'.
May Athena Why be concerned? It's their life and their choice if they don't want to eat healthy and exercise enough to be "thin". Everyone has their crutch, theirs just happens to be more visible than someone else's.
Widdekuu91 That analogy is completely nonsensical. Again, you make the same judgment that everyone who is overweight is unhealthy instead of seeing it that they are trying to empower themselves to get to be healthier. People who make those kinds of judgments are exactly the reason why they end up in the trend of getting bigger - they feel like they are constantly judged to the point of no hope. Think before you make comments like that. I'm muting this post. I thought this would be an intellectual conversation, but it turned into the same judgments people constantly hear. It's really old.
Domabombtastic Dom plus size isn't morbidly obese. Plus size is Kristen and Sheridan, not Tess. That's just sickening and no one as big as Tess should be proud of that.
The whole sizing thing happens everywhere! Even if you’re not plus sized. In most stores I range from 8-12 ( though the twelve is when I want a baggy loose fit) and my shirts and sweaters literally go from small to large so yeahhh.
exactly majority is 12-16, by doctors still considered overweight but to me the perfect weight and genreally a normal/majority figure. there is barely any clothes for size 14 and up that are decent (and there are barely any stores that sell size 16 and up clothing). stores would make a killing and 2/3 of women can have the clothes they want
I am sure there are sizes for those who have extra weight but still are more or less ok. As for obesity... I think there is really no point in selling those sizes in the stores because either those people are fat because they don't go anywhere or they find it too difficult to fit their mobility scooter in the dressing room.
***** Yes, I am judging them based on their body mass. Their body mass will land them in the ER for stroke and heart attack, not "what they are dealing with on a daily basis".
***** They live in a privileged enough society to lose weight, but they just can't because of no self control and laziness. And you do know that body mass co-relates to lifestyle right? Fat bitches like these probably don't have a good lifestyle.
The Great Ammuraf actually I've struggled with my weight ever since I can remember... but you know what? I eat better & work out more than most of my "skinny" friends.
^ yeahthat and some people are just natural have more bidet mass then others I mean my friends sister eats nothing but fattening surgery foods but is really skinny while she eats less food in general and looks pretty big
to the people who still don’t understand, they took their measurements and ordered according to the sizing charts on the website, i.e. the entire point of the video. that’s why it was fitting the women differently or they were wearing different sizes from each store. so stop commenting on how the women are different sizes. yes, bodies are different.
eww tess's arm is bigger then her head. Yes i said eww because its gross, its unhealthy. and yes im fully aware that its "hard to lose weight" but its possible so stop acting like they are beautiful and perfect. "perfect" is a healthy weight. Tess is sooo far from a healthy weight.
+taylor nicole I applaud you for being honest they are unhealthy and not just a little overweight but they are obese I really hope they try to become healthy.
xXAmbarXx Me too! I think they all seem nice and have good ambitions, but they won't be around much longer if they cant fix anything about their bodies.
+taylor nicole Even if people are at a healthy weight they can still be sick or unhealthy therefor nothing is actually "perfect". Perfect is for children that don't understand how the world works yet.
I get that losing weight isn't easy. But it IS doable and it takes a lot of work but a healthy life is worth it. I'm not fat shaming anyone, but we all cannot sit around and pretend that all bodies are beautiful while neglecting actual health issues in our country. Japan lives a healthy lifestyle and they only have a 3% obesity rate. America's culture of consumption and extreme portions are the reason why we have a 30% obesity rate. There is a line between what is accepting your body and knowing when you have serious issues and should try and make life adjustments to better your health.
***** I understand where you are coming from but The Health Ministry said the number of young, skinny women in Japan has risen to troubling levels. A record 29 % of those in their 20s are underweight, according to a recent government survey. Those with a body mass index of less than 18.5 percent are considered underweight by Japanese standards. And my best friend is obese for her age but she has a heart problem and trying to lose weight could kill her.
Ok but most people who are obese are not unhealthy? I feel like, especially in America, people take the "ideal weight" for their age and height too seriously. It's called "ideal" for a reason and everyone is not perfect. The amount of fat on your body doesn't dictate your physical health.
***** I take exception to you equating people just losing weight with the larger health issues facing the US. If you want to discuss how the food industry does things to food to create unhealthy scenerios, that's different. Everything from GMOs or bad practices raising livestock to adding sugar to most processed foods to make them "taste better". That affects EVERYONE. You ARE fat shaming people. There are many women in the US who suffer from PCOS - polycystic ovarian syndrome - and they have a very difficult time losing weight even when living the doable, healthy lifestyle you blithely prescribe. PCOS is still a mystery...but look it up. It's heart breaking. That's due to something these women and girls can't control. It's probably related to how food is processed in this country. Point being: you don't know anyone's story by just looking at them. I just want to add that I'm not heavy, but I advocate for my big sisters out there. We're not talking about people who are wheezing when they take a few steps....we're talking about people who are bigger naturally. It happens.
You have jumped such a big concept of the problem of obesity. If you look at Americas poverty rate it is much high than Japan. Not every American has money for a healthy diet. And even in Japan there diet is based of fish because it's one of the things they have plenty of. And it's very healthy too.
For the people saying Tess is beautiful- that is fine, but most of you also think she is healthy, *which is not true, she will die if she if she doesn't lose weight, don't listen to the media over your common sense* .
she might need to loose weight but she can do that on her own without comments saying she is obese and unhealthy. so what if some people are obese and unhealthy because they can fix it themselves [ if they want to] not the internet and comments.
Literally why I can't stand Forever 21! I mean I wear a medium/large depending on the item but they never fit cause they only cater to women with smaller busts. Like did they forget that women can have naturally small waist and larger breasts? Come on
Oh my gosh yes! I honestly can never find stuff that fits me there. Shirts are bigger sizes for me because of the chestal region. and then I'm short with thicker thighs, so it gets hard to find pants anywhere.
on the opposite side, forever 21 is too BIG on me!!! no stores fit me and I don't feel like a woman, I feel like a 5 year old boy because I'm a AAA and I have no butt. I have to shop at target to get my clothes because nothing else fits me.
I cannot thank you enough! Because of your videos I broke out of my "little black tent" routine and bought a LBD for my 50th high school reunion. Its beautiful, I feel confident in it and never would have been able to do this without you!
Is it strange that I have the same problem, but with the opposite size? I hate how I have to shop in the kids section sometimes because they don't hold my "size". Also please don't hate on me cuz of this, I may small, but my mum used to be a plus, now usually a large.
Mikayla K. sizes should take into account that some of us are shorter or longer-waisted than others, regardless of our sizes. But it must be frustrating to find age-appropriate looking clothes if you are very petite.
ShadDove I didn't want to seem like one of those skinny girls complaining about their size... Well I kind of am, but I didn't want to seem self-conceited.
Mushie Pasta I don't know what the "white" comment was about either haha. But it seems we both misread each others comment. Almost every person commenting on this video seem to be getting mad that people like me are saying they are unhealthy. I understand the "oh they're ugly cause they're fat" comments being unnecessary and just rude since all of them are *clearly* beautiful. But literally praising their weight and choices isn't good, because they could be in massive pain and have other issues. But I was trying to say that the "insensitive" part isn't true. It might seem blunt of me to say "that girl will die before 50 at her weight", but it's the harsh truth. Also my comment didn't sound anything like "Ur a fattie ur gonna die at 50 trololol" whatsoever. I'm not even making fun of the women here, I pity them. If they say they're beautiful no matter how they look, good on them. Amazing part actually, more women need to think like that, but recognizing their weight as an actual health issue should also be known. And I know they won't change their lifestyles from what I say haha. I highly doubt they'll see my one comment out of the thousands of people who comment on Buzzfeeds' videos.
BigManEDog The insensitive part is still true. I wasn't saying every comment mentioning their health risks or size was insensitive. Some were rude, some were insensitive, some were just unnecessary, and some were all three. Pointing out that they're most likely going to die early because of their unhealthy weight is just so happens to just be categorized as one of the unnecessary comments, because although this is most likely true, it's still unnecessary. I'm sure they all know the risks of being their size, so commenting isn't going to be the thing that makes them turn their life around. This video is simply about how badly lots of clothes are made for women like them, not how good and healthy and okay it is to be fat. This video isn't glamorizing being overweight, it's just stating the facts. I get what you're saying about the health risks though, and I'm not denying that any of that is true. That is also just facts. I'm also glad you're not one of the ones making the rude insensitive comments though, just automatically associating being fat with being unattractive.
Or you know if you're willing to spend hours looking for clothes, maybe cut out one of those hours a day and get into a gym. no disrespect, but this is what is wrong with society. The clothes arent the problem, you are the problem.
most people in Amerika who are this overweight are either really poor or have an illness. A healthy diet can be expensive for a large family on a budget, and there are multible diseases that can make you super overweight.Also practically healthy people apart from their eating disorder are struggeling mentally and physically. It sinply isnt as simple as 'go to the gym sometime' , sadly.
it actually is that simple, going to the gym and lifting weights has proven to lower the risk of heart disease by 50% as well as cancer to some degree. I'm not saying that it needs to turn into your life, but there are NO excuses for someone who is living in america (where food is ridiculously cheap btw, and you dont have as many options as people in europe) to be obese.
im not sure where you live, but when you have a full time job and no money you cant really go to the gym daily. Ive lost alot of weight a couple of years ago and it just isnt that easy especially if your mental/physical state are in bad shape as well.
so can you not get Plus size in u.s stores? we have some plus size in the uk but even normal sizes aren't the right size, i'm a UK size 12 some places but uk size 16 somewhere else and i'm only 18. so frustrating x
rebecca oliver Plenty of stores do but many stores to not cater to obese people. Even though they seem to cater to anorexic people with xxs sizes that look like they would fit a railing.
rebecca oliver i feel you're pain i range from a size 14 to an 18 and i really don't understand why either, that and in the UK i find it so hard to find pretty clothes in above a size 10 when i go shopping all i find are 8's and 10's
rebecca oliver Same my wardrobe consists of every size between 8 and 16. I can't actually buy anything without trying on every size. Believe me I feel the pain.
+rebecca oliver In the US it is extremely hard to find plus sized clothing that fits properly. Most 'name brand' stores if they on the very rare chance have someone that is plus size its a normal person's medium which doesn't work, at all.
Tess is gorgeous but she should lose weight... Not because she's not beautiful now but because being obese is unhealthy, it's dangerous for your health. I don't understand why people who now are glorifying Tess and her weight are the same people who criticise anorexic and skinny models. Anorexia and obesity are equally wrong and I don't understand why it's perfectly okay to say that a skinny person should gain weight but if you say that a fat or obese person should lose weight than you're being rude and offensive.
+Jony3King B well, what's "overweight" for someone might not be for someone else. So unless you're an expert on her health, then you can't call her overweight because you don't have all the info.
The problem is that designers for large sizes were trained to design for a size 4 and not a 22. Usually what companies do is use the patters for the smaller sizes and just blow them up. It doesn't quite work that way. Design, cut & draping count for much. It's hit or miss for us big girls.
I think your ordering the wrong size. If your a size 8, I’d recommend ordering 12-14. I’m in Ireland so we use uk sizing and from what I’m aware 0=4,2=6 and so on
I didn't say I idolized her weight. I just made the statement that she is pretty. Not one comment about her weight. Am I not aloud to find a women beautiful? Just because she's over weight shouldn't make this an argument.
All of these girls are so beautiful. I am a size 8 up top but a size 14 on my hips and I really struggle to find dresses that work for me. Clothes shopping used to be so much fun!
Unless your a lesbian I don't know how you can tell. The thing is you say they are beutiful without meaning it you say it so you can be nice. And they are not really beutiful. Don't send the wrong message across don't let society get confused of what beuty is.
Charls Cheese I'm bisexual and they would be attractive if they lost weight. Especially the huge one. She has the best raw features but she drowns them in SO much fat. She can pull off more weight than most people but would be hotter even at a size 16 or so.
Delaney Dub She is morbidly obese. She looks nice but she needs to fix her weight. This isn't coming from a looks standpoint, but a purely medical one.
AtilaCXL Ok but that isn't your place to comment on. This is what really irritates me about fat phobia. Yes, chances are if a person carries a certain amount of fat or more, that could have some impact on their health. But guess what? It's still not your business. I'm sure she and her doctor have a better knowledge of her health and don't need your insight.
I'm not plus-sized, but let's be honest, the quantity of items available to them in the store is smaller. For example, Forever 21 has a plus-size section, but it's not nearly as big as the "regular" section...same with stores like Kohl's.
This is not specific to plus sizes though. If you just put on a piece of clothing, it may not fit you. You have to play around with what size works best for that specific piece.
I love how people are pretending they care about a random stranger's health, I doubt anyone of you would go up to someone with a cigarette and tell them they were unhealthy so why is it so different for an overweight person?
Well they don't want to order online because they are unsure on how it will fit them. There are no clothes to buy anywhere else. They get fed up with ordering clothes and spending more money than they should on clothes that don't even fit. Might as well lose weight so they don't have that problem anymore. No?
Vegan Gains You do realize that some people have a MEDICAL CONDITION WHERE THEY LITERALLY CAN NOT LOSE WEIGHT, right? On the other hand, some people can't afford to get a gym membership or hire some fancy-ass nutritionist like other people can. Organic and healthy foods can be really pricy, some people just can't put up that extra dollar to get apples instead of chips. You really shouldn't be complaining about people being overweight until you decide to supply them the money, materials, and people to help them lose weight.
Andrea Ellen I can't afford affordable gym membership or a nutritionist. Healthy food is cheap. You are just making excuses for lazy people. The fact that you are hinting towards, "only rich people can be healthy" is really fucked up.
I'm honestly surprised that all three of them are a 3X according to Fashion to Figure and Forever 21. Tess is, well, considerably plus size, Sheridan is mostly plus size due to her height and stature rather than her weight, while Kristin looks like she doesn't always have to buy plus size clothes.
***** It's great that you're saying that, but I doubt it's coincidence that you're saying the biggest of the girls is 'so beautiful'. I know you want her to feel the most confident, but you can't just say 'you're extremely beautiful just the way you are; don't change at all' I mean, it IS unhealthy to be that overweight...
Is hate how the sizing if women's clothing in general depends on the store, the brand, your body type, the phase of the moon, the day of the week, if it's a leap year, Ect.
I agree. Sizes should be an objective reality. That's how men's clothing is.
Lydia Dick Agreed. Even in the store I work, I can potentially wear a 4, 6, or 8, depending on the "fit" of the pants we're talking about. Why would a 4 and an 8 EVER fit the same person?!
You do realize that every damn place that sells clothing as wack sizing no matter what your weight. Only the plus sized people have more problems cuz once you get too big it's hard to guess just how big you need it. It's easier to know the average than the people who are above average if that makes sense. Plus sized people vary a lot and they don't really feel like making another 30 specific sizes just for them. Does it suck? Yes. Is it unfair? Yes. But it's business. Companies don't care. They make enough without plus sized people buying their stuff. some companies are paid not to make plus sized in an effort to make people lose weight
Totally agree! And lengths! Who said all women had to be over 6ft tall to wear clothes? Even petite clothes are made for different.
Lydia Dick It is the same for dudes, it sucks quite a lot!
People these days are so sensitive about everything. If you're overweight then you're overweight. If you're underweight then you're underweight. It's unhealthy but that doesn't mean you aren't beautiful. You just need to try your best to lose/gain weight or find alternatives to become more healthy. Some people like bigger girls, some people like thinner girls. We should all be able to openly express what we find attractive without being accused of body shaming.
ElectricMayhem87 I'm talking about in real life too. It's true, people are too sensitive and that makes others arrogant.
+ElectricMayhem87 we shouldn be supporting people for being fat nor should we be shaming them but we SHOULD help them lose weight because being fat IS NOT A GOOD THING
Bob Mioz Do...you think fat people don't *know* they're fat? A lot of this comes off as condescending and patronizing...
"Body confidence" has become one of the biggest excuses for people to continue being unhealthy and I find that repulsive.
+Lulu H I in middle of both #ThatGrammerThough
dear fat people:
when someone fat shames you ,you have no need to justify yourself like "I eat healthy" or "I work out".
You are worthy of respect wether you are healthy or unhealthy.
+PegaBrony why don't you take your own advice? Lay off.
Thank you so much for this!
Omg so sorry, I meant this for another commen. OMG I'm so sorry
+Aneira Silvermoon but we're all human and are worthy of respect no matter our sizes!
I wouldn't use the term fat. It's a little harsh
There is no way Tess is the same size as the other two, why were they always giving them the same size and wondering why it didn’t fit either of them?
Jenny Gilchrist can you read just wondering women are built differently
They know they aren't the same size. They were going off measurements from the women and online sizing guides. The fact it didn't fit is the point - You cannot have plus size clothes that are just made to a measurement as everyones body is different! A 3x in any clothing will fit one person yet not another. Thereby plus size clothing manufacturers need to go back to the drawing board.
I believe it's a one size fits all deal and they likely only have a few "sizes" such as small, medium, large, XL, 1X, 2X, 3X etc
Jenny Gilchrist I
read better
"if they just lost weight they wouldn't have to deal with this"
so, if one of these women decided that she wanted to lose weight, she should just have no clothes during the months/years it actually takes to become thin? y'all make no sense
Cynthia Halaby buy clothes
Aubrey Jane Valenzuela But clothes that don't fit and that would be uncomfortable? Okay. Go out and buy some clothes that don't fit and are very uncomfortable.
Cynthia Halaby THANK YOU GOOD LORD I GAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR A COMMENT LIKE YOURS lol are they supposed to be naked the whole time like df
***** Its your opinion that they aren't attractive, its not a fact. Some people think they are attractive.
The Wolf Named Mint Then they have a fetish. Fat is naturally unattractive.
It's weird to me that American clothing stores often don't sell plus size in person or have a limited selection when 2/3 of Americans are overweight. Seems it should be the other way around if they want to make the most money
Plus size and overweight are two completely different things
The store system sucks all together because they assume everyone in America is about a medium short stature person, so if your plus size ( or 5'8 and a size zero) you'll never find what you need
Overweight isn't the same as plus size.
Lol i rarely ever see an overweight person in the US idk what you are talking about
Janay Gunderman Yeah but 2/3 Americans aren't 3XL. If you wanted to cater to the largest demographic these women would still be underrepresented. Also these women's body types despite being the "same size" were radically different. Its more complicated than simply putting more fabric into an item. Throwing more money into it doesn't mean it would yield more returns.
meanwhile victoria's secret definition of plus sized is Jennifer Lawrence....
what a stupid store.
Hot Topic for the win
is that weird
no
Sarah Zhou Lol
Hot Topic is bad quality, rlly expensive, and only have the mainstream scene kid bands that the kids on IG like.
how did tess not know her size for torrid. she’s literally modelled for them in every style they’ve sold including those shorts.
They get big sizes and pin back clothes on models usually
Can we just talk about Tess's makeup for a sec? HOLY COW!!! SO BEAUTIFUL! And that dress Kristin wore in the beginning, WOW!!!
AND SHERIDANS OUTFIT IS ON POINT! GIRL!!
Tess is a model, so her makeup is always gonna be on point. :) She's such a beautiful woman.
yaaasss
+ashley tait yep
agreed :3
Tess' face I can't get enough of.
Cozzy Yes he is. She doesn't have the body of a whale. She's slaying your life and you will have to deal.
And if you look over here you'll find bigots in their natural habitat.
She's drop dead gorgeous
Sosmcs See From the neck up. She's shaped like a bowling ball.
wannabeeish shes a fatass, bet you are too
Tessa is so gorgeous but I can't help myself from asking if that is unhealthy? I don't want to sound ignorant because I genuinely don't know much about health and plus size women
its called google
should i google : "is tessa unhealthy"? :'D
***** no i meant google the effects of obesity on health...
arttria it was a joke ;-; & my question was more like is she obese, cause obesity is unhealthy..
***** what?
Tess is complaining about her skirt not fitting when she’s *clearly* not wearing the correct size. Smdh.
They said in the beginning that the people who made the video measured them and ordered clothes using the site sizing chart. That was literally the whole point of the video was how hard it is to buy clothes online using their online measurements when you can't try it on.
So how did the 3x pants fit?
Victim mentality she's huge
@@dontknow7796 The Forever 21 dress fit her and was big on Kristen, and it looked okay on Sheridan. I wear a bigger size in bottoms than I do in tops. She looks top heavy, so she could wear a smaller size in pants and need a bigger size for her chest.
@@dontknow7796 Depends on the brand. Some shops vanity size by 2-3 sizes, or make clothes incredibly stretchy so they'll fit the sizes above. My mum is on the lower end of plus size and has encountered this before, mostly at plus sized stores.
Also, the pants didn't fit. They were too small at the back and didn't cover her butt.
Plus sized or not Tess is one of the most beautiful women iv ever seen *.*
missybeans1 Shame she can't even stand up on her own
Yes!
caitlin brantley the fak is your problem
XD they just said that Tess is one of the most beautiful woman they ever saw XD
Ikr I am very jelly of her
Fucken 5 gallons of make up would do the trick
online shopping in general is difficult because everyone is different and shaped differently and you really have to try the clothes on to see if they are for you.
Couldn't agree more :/
True
***** Yeah, it sucks. You see stuff online that're pretty cool, but then you remember that they might not fit perfectly so you're like nah better not.
***** the only difference is that plus size clothing is pretty hard to find in stores. At least where I live my sister has no place to shop
***** and it depends where you're ordering it from. In the US I'm a medium and in Korea I'm an XL
It's the same when "skinny" women order online.
ikr its a miracle if I can find something that's not baggy on me haha
Yep, I only buy clothes online from stores I have actually shopped at.
but "skinny" women are not shamed when looking for clothing as much as plus sized women are :)
Dilynne Stuthers Yes but you, as a "skinny" person, can go into a store and try it on. They can't, their only source is online shopping, so that's why this video was made.
Kanani Doll yes, but skinny women don't die at the age of 40 from diabetes and a heart attack because of their poor life choices
Okay but they gave these women some of the worse clothing for all of these stores. Torrid has some amazing clothing they just chose bad clothing.
I love the look of Torrid clothes on the rack but none of their clothes fit me properly. All my weight is in my stomach, unfortunately.
Torrid's bathing suits are the bomb. I like alot of their tops and adore their pencil skirts how they go below the knee just enough to make that hourglass pop. But their dresses and jeans and shorts are not very flattering in general.
Danny Nielsen
Torrid definitely have some amazing clothes but not all the time. I notice the “flower trend” on plus sizes and it’s annoying. Also, I think they went with normal and nude colors to try and highlight their body and how it would look on them
I love torrid
My problem is, you don't see alcoholics promoting being an alcoholic, because people just inherently know alcohol is bad for your body and mind in excess. In psychology, it is a bad idea to enable alcoholics. So why is it okay for morbidly obese people to pretend like there's nothing wrong with being morbidly obese? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but health is not an opinion. So by pretending with them, would I not be enabling them?
SkitterNSnicklez I completely agree and I'm considered morbidly obese. I found a healthy lifestyle to follow and I'm working on losing weight. I love myself and body enough to feed it healthy food and work out regularly but I've never understand why people think loving your body means everyone has to agree with you being unhealthy. I'm clearly obese because I was not healthy.
SkitterNSnicklez Very well put.
SkitterNSnicklez Totally agree. This whole "women with curves are beautiful" thing has completely taken over the media and all they're focusing on is the appearance part of things. If you're obese and you love the way you look, great - I'm happy for you! But the more important side to this is that being morbidly obese leads to major, MAJOR health problems, including death. It's a serious epidemic and we're making it seem like it's no big deal and it needs to be accepted.
That's actually what I am lol
***** mmm tooth decay.
For some reason. the girl with the glasses makes me really happy. She puts me in a good mood :)
Moni Monkeemen you are everywhere!!!!!!! :P
Eva Silver Sorry. I will try not to comment a lot. I don't want to be like this one girl who comments on buzzfeed vids all the time. I think her name is immajeans or something close to that, I don't know.
Moni Monkeemen nono it's nothing bad. lol. i see you in comments on a few Shinee videos as well :P Taemin
Eva Silver Oh. Its just that I love SHINee so much. I thought you meant that I comment to much on buzzfeed videos.
Moni Monkeemen no not at all :) SHINee is awesome! Jonghyun is mineeee :D
Whether you're slim, fat or in between (ie, me).. buying clothes from store is ALWAYS an issue. so yeah. and specially pants.. oh lord.
Aarya Kartha FLUFF PANTS! I HATE THEM!
Aarya Kartha Yeah I'm very small, smalls or even extra smalls are usually still a little big.
Aarya Kartha I'm in-between, and ooh boy, pants are always too big or too small for us fellows.
Aarya Kartha especially if your on the taller side
I’m also 5’7 as well with s forward tummy but it’s a baby tummy I’m not super skinny fit or bigger I’m a in between
Nearly four years have passed, and the way Kristen says, "Technically~" is still one of the prettiest sounds I have ever heard.
INKDOG 😂😂
IKR its hilarious
I felt this
Wow, almost nobody in this comment section understands nutrition standards and basic body differences. People can appear to be "overweight" and still be perfectly active and healthy. It's only when you become obese to the point where it impedes your movement and becomes a danger to your heart and blood pressure that it becomes an issue.
The woman with glasses in this video could easily be deemed healthy by her doctor, it's just that her body has problems with fat distribution.
Jesus, people, you're not fucking experts on the subject, stop acting all high and mighty like you have the right to judge others based on your perception of their "health" (which you probably don't even fully understand).
Thank you for having some sense!!!! Lord these people don't understand that fat distribution is out of everyone's control. Yes Tess is obese; however the other two women probably just have bad fat distribution. Yes, they can work out to keep the fat off but if the fat will always target their stomach, breast, and thighs then they can't change their body's fat distribution pathways. I am considered obese...but that's because I'm 5'5 lol and I don't look like I'm pouring over with fat I look similar to the lady with the glasses..I have poorly distributed fat..don't come for me I am actually working out to stay healthy!! But people need to think more like you.!
Claydad45
Sweetie, I'm 5'7" and 129 pounds, I'm not speaking for myself.
I've taken enough graduate level nutrition and health classes (a year's worth) to know how fat distribution works and that based on height and frame, not everyone can get below size 12 clothes.
Take some health classes.
Gabby Gregory
I agree, I think Tess is too overweight for her own good. I hope she manages to lose some weight.
People don't realize there's more than one body shape and a slew of different health factors, for men AND women.
Lynne the Trendy Tetraodontiforme The only woman I really take issue with is Tess; the other two look fine to me. 5'5 and 160 here, so take my opinion as you will. Granted that's at 32; in my 20's I was 115. I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss it. :p Remember folks, your metabolism goes to shit when you hit 30, so get your kicks in now!
Lynne the Trendy Tetraodontiforme "her body has problems with fat distribution." HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH Now being fat is just an illusion. She's not really fat her body is just acting up and putting fat everywhere.
Yeah, you can be healthy and obese, but you won't stay that way for long. Someone who is as big as tess and stays that way for years will have health problems guaranteed. A big body puts a lot of stress on your heart and other organs, and excess fat causes inflammation.
"get rid of the weight then shop anywhere"
okay but what are they going to wear while they try to get rid of the weight? like???
***** a tarp
lasrswordja Lol
You'd be amazed how many fat people wear yoga pants when they don't even exercise. These 3 could be an exception
Yeah, I mean it's understandable. I use to be 185 (5'5) and it was hard to find clothing- so you just give up. I lost 60 pounds in two years. Gaining the weight is easy but getting rid of it means patience. During my weightloss my clothing was always too big or too little, or just bulged in the wrong places and it's super uncomfortable. I'm now healthy for my height and couldn't be any happier but I sympathize with overweight people because I was one at one part of my life. Just because they're fat doesn't mean they don't deserve fitting clothing. You know? It would have saved me tons while getting rid of the weight,
Ashley Williams Well, sometimes being fat isn't a choice. It can be because of genetics that someone is overweight. This results in being unable to control it at all, so exercise or not, nothing can be done for these kinds of people. Yoga pants are the only things that can fit larger people because barely any store sells a variety of XL+ sized clothing. The problem isn't unhealthy diet or lifestyle.
Tess's face doesn't seem to match the rest of her body.. It's much slimmer, I would have expected a bigger face howeverrrrrrrrrr I can see why she's a model, wow.
JokinglySerious my face is wider than her and i'm like 114 lb xD
JokinglySerious i agree
Because she had surgeries....lol she’s fake af
JokinglySerious omg I was gonna comment how adorable she looks but look like you beat me by two years lol
JokinglySerious rude
It was more than a little awkward seeing how hard Tess fudges her size. 22? Girl. Giiiiiirl. That's gotta be some serious insecurity talking. I would feel bad if she wasn't a scammer.
it's also been rumored that she has her modeling photos photoshopped so much that it's almost unrecognizable afterwards. and she lies about her size. girl is obviously insecure.
It's just like when people lie about their height like you can be 5'2 and someone shorter than you can stand next to you and say "oH iM 5'5" I don't mind Ur height or weight but like people don't gotta lie it is what it is
She’s a model you have to lie you have to be specific in or you lose modeling opportunities.
She lies about her weight. There are earlier modeling pix of her where she stays shes 280 from like 2011 which next to the photos of her now theres a massive difference shes def in the upper 300s
All of you idiots here in the comment section need to STOP saying this. It’s rude and does not need to be said. It’s NONE of your business what size she is. You need to stop guessing what her size is when you’re not her. You don’t even know her. Please don’t comment if you have nothing kind or helpful to say.
OH MY GOD THAT MODEL. The one in the black dress... holy shit she is so beautiful I can't handle it.
True
man i would totaly .....her
Yes omg she's so classy and beautiful. They're all beautiful anyways
that's exactly what I came down here to comment on
Stephanie Saveria she's soo unhealthily fat tho
I'm overweight because I'm on cortisone to battle a disease. I eat just like I ate when I was thin: Healthy and less than most people. So I would like to say that some overweight people you see? It might not be their fault.
+An account Same here. I was born with a spinal malfunction that crushed a couple discs. So it really annoys me when people say 'just run it off' lol I literally can't run, so I can't run it off.
AlliArt15
I know right, a lot of people have their reasons but it's not like we can write it on us like a tee saying "I have a spine problem, that's whyyy!", haha. People need to give a little more thought. (Sorry bout the spine problem btw, hope it doesn't cause you much trouble apart from running :)
An account I totally agree! Not every fat person can tell you their long story about why they can't control their weight. And it has caused me a lot of problems but I've really learned to love life and myself despite of it :) It was a long hard journey but I'm happy where I am.
*****
I'm not pretending otherwise, how did you come to a crazy conclusion like that?
***** I am still fat lol So what? Does this make me less of a person? My health isn't an excuse, I AM FAT. But I'm not going to spiral into depression out of insecurity because despite my weight and my spinal condition, I can love my life. What's so bad about that?
honestly fuck all sizes. fuck the clothing rules. if you like a piece of clothing and you like how it fits you buy that shit.
This comment makes me ridiculously happy.
Giselle Marie Yaaaassss!
This is pretty dumb but it makes me happy
+Giselle Marie omfg... That comment made me smile like a idiot, I agree, fuck clothing rules
Giselle Marie Down with 'boy' clothes and 'girl' clothes. If I want to wear a batman shirt, I can. If a man wants to wear a skirt, go ahead.
Tess has such a pretty face but her body is under so much strain from the extra weight. And before you come at me: I am a dietetics student who’s been overweight, underweight and obese seen 15 so yes I know what she’s going through
paige Graham I’m overweight tooo
Tine Dulom wahhaah you sound so happy I love it😊
No you don't. You are not their doctors. I know one of them at least has polycycstic ovarian syndrome which is a hormonal disturbance which causes lany health issues from infertility, to diabetes and obesity. Many other women have hypothyroid disease which can do the same. People need to stop judging and realize that weight is not always about what you eat! Gah! So tired of the intolerance of our LGBT, religious, racial, political "tolerant" society! Its not tolerant till its tolerant ro everyone!
@@mellie4174 you do understand that regardless of the reason someone is overweight it is NEVER healthy for them? it is very clear that the purpose of her comment is only out of concern so you really have 1) no reason to become so irritated over it and 2) no reasonable standings to suggest that people are 'intolerant' of the minorities you listed.
we poppin but like what if that’s an insecurity of hers and it is just getting pointed out. You don’t know what she is doing ya to help it so you can’t say that she is doing it wrong.
Why aren't all sizes the same, I mean why isn't the xxl from "Brand A" the same as the xxl from "Brand B"
Brian Patrick van Oers Totally agree with you! Im a size 10 UK, in some shops and a size 16 UK in others. THATS A MASSIVE DIFFERENCE
@ Monica Martin
Same here...I go from a small at one store for tops to a fucking extra large in others...I mean I've got a little bit of fat here and there but it shouldn't be that extreme...
Brian Patrick van Oers Especially with pants. Either the waist is tight but the pants fit fine, or vice versa. Just makes shopping so much crappier
In normal stores I'm an xxs-xs and in Abercrombie I could fit s-m
Brian Patrick van Oers It probably depends on the target of the clothing line is and whether or not the company participates in vanity sizing.
Amanda brought up the example of Abercrombie and Fitch and how she fits in a s-m but is xxs elsewhere. It's because they cater towards smaller people (let's be real here), teens, etc. Going to Target or Walmart where a huge portion of the population shops, sizes will generally be larger.
fat person: [is confident]
ppl: STOp promoting ObesitY!!!!!!
fat person: [talks about wanting clothes that fit them and actually make them feel confident]
ppl: [without knowing their health situation, acknowledging the fact that losing weight is hard and while trying to lose weight ppl still want clothes that fit them and make them feel nice, and that just because a person is fat doesn't mean they deserve to feel unconfident] stop promoting OBesity!!!!!!!!!1
fat person: [is treated like a human]
ppl: stop promoting obesity!!!1
like u ppl are ridiculous. these r ppl's bodies. it does not matter if they are the most unhealthy person in the world, they should have confidence. that is so important. because the point of a person losing fat should be for health, not so that they can actually have any sort of self esteem. u ppl are grouchy because these women are asking for clothes that actually properly fit them and make them feel nice? a ton of u are saying they can't have that because they're fat?
love ur rolls and ur chub.
***** losing weight isnt hard, fat people have no self control and are lazy simple as that
SAM TUN
actually, it is for a lot of people. everyone's bodies and metabolism's are different. some people don't have the funds to strictly buy healthy food, and there are so many other factors that can stop you from losing weight. this feels like a troll comment so i won't pursue it further, but ppl deserve respect regardless of their weight or situation.
***** You said it beautifully. I can't stand the fact that, despite what we (lie and) tell our children, kids might grow up, but they don't stop being bullies.
yaaas
Ford those of you who truly appreciate that even obese women want to wear pretty clothes, there's a video on youtube where these really cute, "full figured" gals appeal to designers to make clothes in their sizes. People SLAMMED then, saying they're condoning obesity, etc. (We all have our vice. I wonder which one had no sin! )
If you can find that video, do so and compliment these ladies. If you can't find it, I'll look around and post it.
This isn't specifically a "Plus-Size" issue .. this is an issue for women in general.
I say this because there are so many parts of the female anatomy that differs a lot from woman to woman;
The ratio between height, shoulders, chest, waist, hips, and thighs, can differ quite a lot depending on the particular woman you measure, and this makes every piece of none-tailored clothing to fit differently on every single woman...
***** I'm glad someone else made this comment as well. It took me digging down a little to find it but here it is haha and men go through it as well, just doesn't seem to be as common or as much of an issue for them.
khoreiaologist
Men tends to have a more even ratio between shoulders, chest, and hips.
The biggest variation between individual men tends to be length and gut.
The most common issue I've encountered personally is that shirts are usually too short...
***** Just going to say I don't think the point of this video was to say sizing is an issue only for plus size people. The point of this video is that these cloths were ordered online not in a store going by the size guild most of the cloths did not fit. The point being in the end that there are very few plus size stores. More often than not plus size people have to order online to get a better selection; how ever this can be frustrating and a waste of money not being able to try before you buy. (Most online stores don't refund shipping) People who are not plus size have quite a large selection of stores they can turn to and can try the cloths on before they buy. That was the point of this video.
***** You get a thumbs up, friend.
Gwendolyn Underwood
Then explain the phrasing of the title...
the other girls seem fine and tess is beautiful but tha much weight is unhealthy. not being rude, just saying it just doesnt look healthy
You're right. It isn't.
Your right, it’s not. However, some people have health issues that cause them to gain heavy amounts of weight. Some people have illnesses that cause lots of weight gain. Maybe she has no control over it.
marissa jackson SHUT UP. According to EVERYONE, all fat people have medical issues. If they really try hard enough, they CAN lose weight, medical issues or not
She is morbidly obese and all of them are obese
SleepyPanda naa just tess, but tess is still beutifull
I am SOOO very back and forth about this video. On the one hand, people should live their lives as they want, thin or fat, gay or straight etc etc. On the other hand being fat is not healthy and I don't know if empowering fat people is the best thing to do either. ALSO, if we now expect clothing stores to carry an even greater range of clothing sizes we are putting an even larger strain on the environment and natural resources. I think we should be an open-minded society but we should also encourage people to be healthy (please don't leave stupid comments about how you can be fat and healthy - it's not healthy PERIOD) and more earth conscious.
tosheatower You could go with "Hey other people's bodies are not my business and I have no idea what the status of a person's health is at a glance and it's none of my business anyway so it's not my job to tear people down because I've decided I don't like their body shape/size." That's a good direction to go in. Run with that.
First off I prefer dating people who are overweight and find it attractive, but that doesn't relieve me of being honest and pragmatic. If you are fat - fine, but stop trying to make it seem like it's healthy or a chronic issue. It's unhealthy and usually stems from too much eating and too little exercise. The same just the facts and that type of behavior should not be mainstreamed. That's all I'm saying.
tosheatower You can also say, Well fat people need clothes no matter what their health status. And really, if we are going to go down that route, take clothes away from smokers, alcoholics, drug abusers....anyone who you think is living an unhealthy lifestyle. Make them wear shitty stuff and tell them its their fault they can't get work or are treated poorly because they aren't dressed appropriately.
@wishIwerewitty - it makes perfect sense to someone who can separate attraction from logic. Yes, I find people that are overweight generally more attractive than skinny but that doesn't negate the fact that it is unhealthy. That's like a smoker saying just because he likes smoking all of a sudden it's healthy... as a society we need to learn separating feelings from facts, whereas I FEEL everyone should be treated with dignity the FACT is being extremely overweight is unhealthy. @eQuality - did you actually watch the video? I am not saying they shouldn't have clothing it was about regular clothing stores being forced to feature large sizes and the extra strain that has on resources and that it shows support for unhealthy living.
Yeah you can be fat and healthy but RARELY are you fat and healthy when you're 186kg and your muffin top is hanging above your knees. It's great when people can have a positive mindset but being healthy still concerns your physical state.
Note that just because you're skinny, doesn't mean you're healthy either!
The problem with fat is that it sits differently on every person. Clothing companies can't be expected to make 5+ different shaped dresses of the same 'size' to suit each major composition of fat- that's what measurements are for. I'm not saying large people can't be beautiful but when you have THAT much excessive body weight, it's not the responsibility of clothing departments to cater to a person who has 30% more fat on her lower belly in comparison to her underarms.
Nope, that's what the point of having the ability to try it on before you buy it is for. To see how that item looks on your own fat distribution. Which is the whole point of the video. Measurements don't work that way. It will tell you very little about the actual body shape, other than size of boobs, butt, waist, etc. But there's a lot of room in between those measurements to have rolls lol. I'm fat so I can comfortably say all of this. We need stores to carry more of our sizes.
AnimaSola3o4 Skinnier people run the same risks when buying online- it isn't solely a larger person's problem.
Tipsylou I never said it wasn't lol. But a skinny person has the ability to go and try on the majority of what they want to purchase. Us larger folk are stuck with whatever tiny selection a store happens to have for us. The difference is solely in the fact that the vast majority of clothing available to try on in stores is for 'normal' size people. See what we're saying? Obviously thinner people have the same challenges when online shopping, but it's painfully obvious that when you're heavy there's no rhyme or reason to where your fat deposits are. When you're thinner you don't have the fat deposits to be as big of an issue (pun intended.)
AnimaSola3o4 Okay true, you make a valid argument
AnimaSola3o4 loose the weight and you wouldn't have an issue...
I'm sorry but Tess is not the same size as the other girls...
Irk! Her arms are bigger than her head
+Shelby Huntsman She's so unhealthy.
you guys are disgusting lmao
+Zamanta Fabela I bet you're one of those people that always say 'you can't tell I'm not healthy' and then see an extremely skinny person and then say 'wow, you need to eat more, you're anorexia'.
Mercy Sutton Exactly!
Did Kristin lose weight? If so, love it!
niki JP no this was in 2015 I think she put on weight over the three years x
niki JP this was filmed in 2015 lol
niki JP if not?
This is an old video
uhhhh that is so rude. Their bodies are beautiful and they should remain fat pigs
I lost 1.4 pounds in the last 2 days. Around 50 pounds total in the last 5 years. I really wanted to say that. Some things people can't tell you about being fat is...
1.) It's hard to breath. You don't know it while you're fat but after losing weight and gaining it back, you'll know
2.) It's hard to sleep at night
3.) Things hurt NOT because you're lazy, but because your body is warning you
4.) You WILL be hungrier because your body wants you to live, not starve to death. Eating less makes you hungry and if you want to lose weight, you have to either be hungry or drink lots of water and fresh foods
5.) You could lose 30 pounds nobody would know you ever lost weight if you're still fat
I'm being serious here. This is for all those people who hate fat people. Let's say you're a smoker(statistically about 1 in 5 of you are) and you used to smoke a pack a day. If you cut it down to only 1 cigarette a day, you'd be proud of yourself right? So how would you feel if someone called you a dirty smoker and told you that you were doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to better your health?
C'mon, you can't tell whether somebody tried or not by looking at them...unless you knew them.
***** My mother raised me to not say anything if I had nothing positive to say. My mother always taught me that if my first instinct was to judge someone, to immediately put myself in their position, to imagine myself as them. Or that if I was going to judge someone, to just not fucking say anything. People will never ever understand this, because they don't want to put themselves in anyone elses' shoes. They don't want to look at things from a different perspective. These people, these people who automatically judge? They just want to feel better about themselves. Whether it's "I look WAY better than that person!" or "Today I told someone to lose weight!1 I sure am a good person because I totally care about people!!!" They just want to feel better about themselves.
Sasha U No one ever taught me to think the way your mother taught me, but I do. I just feel that it's right. I'm gonna teach my kids to think the same way.
Sasha U Thank you for being the one person out of hundreds on here who has sense and conscience.
***** You should not be hungry when you're on a diet. If you are always hungry, that probably isn't real hunger and you should learn to know the difference between your body asking for food and your brain telling you to get food because you're bored or something. You have to be eating enough calories to feel satiated, eating such a caloric deficit that you are constantly hungry means that you are depriving your body of the nutrients it needs. Find a good caloric limit and stick to it, you'll eventually lose weight and not be miserable while doing it.

Kristin's dress is lovely!
I want it
I like that dress as well
The dress is the only pretty thing
What one? I like the black one.
I would love to know where she got it!!
the main problem with this video is that they are clearly NOT all the same size. dont try to tell us that they are all size 3X or the same pants size. we have eyes and we can tell that they are definitely not and the fact that the clothes fit them all completely differently proves that. if one model can wear the skirt and the other cant even put it over her legs then there is no way that they are the same size. end of story
Congrats, you understand the point of the video which was stated.
argelia g THAT'S THE POINT
how can that even be true that 'this is the point of video' at all? they can only be the same 'size' no matter what guide you use if all three of them have the exact same measurements. So basically they are trying to tell us that all of them have a bust of 49-51 and hips of 52-54? Thats clearly insane (given both tess and kristin are the same height as well), and unless we are blind thats not true!
They probably bought their own clothes seperatly...
argelia g The size chart of the clothes decided what size they are, they just followed the size chart, its not their fauly
“If I was cold I could crawl inside this for warmth.”-Kristin
What's funny is that ordering anything clothing for anyone online results in this. at least in my experience.
True
The problem is they can basically ONLY shop online due to the lack of in store options. So this is a constant problem
+Victoria LaBrosse that makes sense. they should have done a segment where they went to Macy's or something.
Sarah Swanson
Exactly, my wife is a uk size 8/10 (us 4/6) and she avoids buying things online, unless she really really likes them and it is through Amazon Prime so she can give them back for free. This is not only a thing for plus-size women, it is for most people. Like, sometimes I have seen her ordering bigger sizes so they will be long enough for her arms/body/legs, and having them fixed to fit her. Online shopping is a pain for everyone.
[I'm not excluding the other models, and this is my opinion].
But the first lady is so pretty ♥. I know she was wearing make-up, but the way she had it styled, and her hair made her look really gorgeous.
BryDoesThis X ikr shes gorgeous
I know right!

mrtvydean 20 / 20 vision, it's so nice of you to worry about my vision.

CrazyRandomChick Sometimes it's better to ignore troll comments. They feed off negative energy.
Tess is absolutely stunning!
40 like but no comments
Too bad they're people without brain and without feelings watching and commenting this video, but well..
IKR! She's soooo beautiful!
lsghPS That is so mean! Don't say that about others! How would you feel if someone said this about you and you were a "fat person" in "society ranking"? You don't have any right to say that about her since you don't know her!
I thought she looked like the Witch of the Waste from Howls moving castle :D She's gorgeous!
My thought exactly. When I saw her I thought 'Holy shit! This girl is beautiful!!"
Tess is so gorgeous, she really needs to lose weight. It's worrying to see her in this state. She is morbidly obese and denies it.
too true
Маргарита Шевченко ok but the way you said that was kinda rude
X X What was rude about it?
Rude
Amaris Phillips/juno nah perfectly ok
I normally wear clothes that are one size bigger than my actual size bc I think it's more comfortable for school imo.
And in winter the girl Who are bigger wear jackets that doesn't fit them and I get Kind of anonymes by that
+Serien junkie same baggy is comfy
Sel Ma "pudding" 👌🏻😻💖
Sel Ma SAME every time in my theater group when we tell the director our size for the shirt I get a size bigger
Same
My proportions are weird so in like 7th grade I gave up on my shirts being simultaneously too loose and too baggy and ripped them all into muscle tees and I legit didn't wear sleeves for a good three years
God damn, they're all incredibly gorgeous okay. But what I hate is people glorifying obesity and anorexia. Of course it's brilliant that these women love themselves and I am *not* fat shaming, but being obese *is not healthy whatsoever* and neither is being too skinny. I have no problem with these women, my problem is the people who act like being morbidly obese is a good thing. It can create a whole hoard of health issues and so being underweight, but of course it doesn't mean they aren't beautiful. I understand some people may have health problems and genetics that have caused them to be the weight they are, but some people are far too ignorant and need to accept the truth.
+Mermaid Motel preach it. obesity is not healthy
+Mermaid Motel but like... where in the video are those people? why did you make this comment on this video, when it has nothing to do with what the video is about? making unnecessary comments about how concerned you are about fat people's health whenever they visibly exist irl or on the internet is fat shaming, or at the very least annoying.
I totally understand where mermaid motel is coming from like I'm so happy that they accept and love themselves like good on them and not that it promoted being fat anywhere in this video at all but I think that glorifying plus sized models is just glorifying obesity as okay when it's not, it's unhealthy and life threatening in some cases.
Lauren Crofts exactly
+Gianna Coggiola well that's just it, "obesity" is a medical term, and it implies health risks, but we don't know if any of those three women are at risk of anything. You may assume that they are but you really don't know
i have the same problem but for shoes! im a size 11.5 and almost ALL women shoes end in stores and online at a size 10, like please make shoes bigger! i know im not the only tall girl who doesn't want to wear mens shoes for the rest of my life!
I wear a 10 & it's hard for me to find shoes a lot of the time as well
I wear a size 10.5 in women's shoes and I still have quite a few years before my feet stop growing. The worst part is that I'm 5'1 with really big feet. It just doesn't look proportionate.
Schnauzer Churro how old are you love?
Marissa noel I'm glad to see I'm not the only girl with this problem. I wear a 11 wide, and can NEVER find cute heels. Something needs to be done. At least Steve Madden in the 90's had my size.
Madi Tonges I feel your pain. Occasionally I may find something that fits my feet in woman's shoes, but never something cute. My mom wanted to give me all of her cute shoes but they are all size eights or nines with a few tens (Which I can fit into on occasion, but never for very long.) and those shoes haven't fit since I was 13. My dad's shoes fit me perfectly though! Grr. At least he has nice taste in shoes. Just want some cute heels and flats. I do have some though, thank god for Naturalizer or I would not have any cute shoes to wear ever! And even then I can only find something I like sometimes...
Tess is way bigger than a 22
Yeah, she is
These women are so beautiful! Really liked this video.

With a profile image of that I can't tell if your being serious... (Only twitch people will understand this)..

Some of these comments are annoying.....First of all, none of you care about them being healthy you just care about them being fat.
Secondly it might not be their fault that they are big..there are diseases and cases that makes it harder to lose weight for certain people.
Also .....They still need clothes to wear! You want them to be naked forever until they lose weight?! My sister has been trying to lose weight for 3 years....do you want her to be walking around with nothing on all that time?
Put yourself in their shoes before you judge. What if you were fat then I bet you wouldn't like what people say about you.
Its not like they can just starve themselves because that would make matters worst ... Think before you speak.....
***** But it isn't always about THEM eating. Some babies are born huge because the mom over eats. And then the baby will be harmed for a long time just because of one little mistake. "Put the fork down". They have to eat too and they most of the time have bigger appetites . So no matter what its going to be hard. Almost everyone likes food. Even if your skinny or thin you can be unhealthy by eating badly. The only difference between fat people that eat a lot and skinny people that eat a lot is most skinny people are blessed with fast metabolism meaning they don't gain weight as quickly. They CAN lose weight but it will take a while
+Ally B I didn't say all skinny/thin people but most of them..because it is true. Whatever I still proved my point it doesn't matter what we debate or argue in this morbid conversation. I philosophize and theorize I can't help my mind. I really don't care anymore I've stated all of my facts.
+Ally B And actually they are "blessed" because some people don't have time to fix their bodies. No matter what I say and no matter what you say, this conversation will always be debatable.
+Ally B And not all fat people sit on the coach and eat like crazy. Some people ARE fat because they DONT eat. There are multiple ways people gain weight. It doesn't matter though because us arguing isn't going to change the situation AT ALL.
+DeadKarp Im not fat though....so get your facts straight. And that's not considerate to those people who are actually exercising and trying to lose weight but are still in the "fat" or "overweight" category. I USED to be huge in elementary school. I tried to kill myself multiple times because of it. I was only fat because everyone in my family is overweight just about. I actually occasionally starve myself today because I know I'll never fit the standards of being fit. But I don't care! because I'm healthy and that's all that matter...not what everyone else thinks. So maybe one day someone will kill themselves over something on the internet or trying to be like everyone else. Newsflash no one cares anymore. You are who you are .
Tess is just stunning.. I love her look so much. All these ladies are very beautiful. ^-^
Ulan Mamytov good thing their opinions don't matter :)
Ulan Mamytov Your personality is probably why you're single too...
and if you're not, god save whoever you're with.
Ulan Mamytov Yeah, that's not true and i'm not going to try to argue with your stupidity.
Ulan Mamytov A wise person once said, and I quote, " Don't argue with an imbecile because you'll just descend to their level and they'll win by experience."
Leviana Rios in other words im agreeing with you xD
As a 13 yo I feel even more self conscious that I dont even like shopping anymore. I dont fit well in many things
PEOPLE WHO ARE OVERWEIGHT NEED CLOTHING TOO!
SOMETIMES IT IS VERY HARD TO LOSE WEIGHT!
MY MOM HAS BEEN TRYING TO LOSE WEIGHT FOR OVER 10 YEARS!
SHE STILL NEEDS CLOTHES TO WEAR!! HER SIZE DOES NOT MATTER!
*YOUR SIZE SHOULD NOT DICTATE WHETHER OR NOT YOU GET TO LOOK CUTE AND WEAR CLOTHING THAT FITS*
YOU PEOPLE ARE SO IGNORANT I WANT TO VOMIT
TELLING SOMEONE TO "JUST LOSE WEIGHT" IS SO INSENSITIVE AND IF ANYONE EVER SAID THAT TO ME OR SOMEONE I LOVE, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, I WOULD PROBABLY EAT THEM TO PROVE MY POINT
PLEASE STOP YOUR IDIOCY AND ACTUALLY BE KIND AND THINK
Elaine Mcg Very well said!
Exactly, wait should never matter. Not to mention that there are really healthy big people and really unhealthy little people. How you eat dose not always have to deal with it. I'm Plus size and my best friend is a size three. She eats more then I do and I'm the one shoes big. Remember that all people come in different shapes and sizes. No two people are exactly the same.
Thank you! I have a big stomach but up that doesn't mean I'm not healthy. I eat good food, I get a good amount of physical activity...just because I'm overweight doesn't mean I'm unhealthy. Previous experiences have led up yo me having a VERY slow metabolism, so please think before you judge. Don't judge someone's weight without knowing there history.
Elaine Mcg God Bless you and your family. Sometimes people actually do have conditions like weight problems and stuff and they cant help it. And it isnt easy to lose weight so God Bless her, I hope she is doing well.
"i would probably eat them to prove my point" same lol.
even if you're thin, buying clothing online is iffy.
Amanda Vodder true!! Im really thin and I struggle finding jeans that fit me correctly. It's always loose and at the end of the day I go home with nothing lol
Amanda Vodder if you're any size, buying clothes online is iffy.
Amanda Vodder I know, I just recently bought a pair of high-waisted jeans from h&m, they're like these superstretch jeans and I have bought many of those exact same jeans in the exact same size, most I bought where the black variation, but I decided to buy denim, I ordered exact same jeans and size just different colour, but instead of the size 4 I ordered the waist was twice as small as normal, it was absolutely ridiculous.
Amanda Vodder tbh no matter what size you are it's still iffy
Very true. But the point of this video is saying that plus size size clothing is hard to find in store. At least we can go in store and don't have to use online. Plus sized people have to use online most of the time and it's ridiculous.
1) The fact that all three of these girls are generally 3Xs despite being very different sizes
2) the fact that both that too-small skirt and those too-loose pants are the same size.
This explains so much about how sizing it messed up for women's clothing. Nobody's asking for perfectly tailored clothing to every body shape, just for the opportunity to try on the clothing so they at least know if it'll fit right or not before purchase.
Yall talking about "buying clothes online is hard for skinny girls too!11!!" but forget that you at least have the option of going in stores. Plus size girls don't get that luxury, and if so then its a very small selection.
most stores sell way too big clothes so that i have to buy my clothes in the kids section...
I have realized that some people tend to get upset if a fat person embraces their body because how dare they be happy in that body? Right?
homedecorbudgetista Is it really okay to accept obesity though? You can't deny the major health problems that come with being this big. People get bothered by it because the more society pushes to accept this as normal, the more unhealthy people will continue to be, not to mention how negatively this effects children growing up with poor examples of healthy lifestyle. Although everybody is free to live their life as they wish you can't choose the consequences.
I didn't see any of these women asking you or anyone for permission regarding how they want to live their lives. If they're happy, then why are you bothered?
homedecorbudgetista I know! Like for anorexic runway models! They should continue to starve themselves and embrace who they are!
***** That's a thing! It's called plastic surgery.
Ashley Casey anorexia is a thing that can literally put your life to risk at any moment ? somebody being overweight doesnt mean their unhealthy. im 17 pounds overweight but i've still been told by my doctor that theres no need to worry because i am extremely healthy.
anorexia is a serious problem that can lead to death and is usually from an eating disorder. people with anorexia hate themselves, so they stare themselves or throw up their food. anorexic people don't think they're good enough or that they're not skinny enough. maybe it would be better if we dropped this whole "fat people are disgusting" act and skinny and fat people would be able to love themselves more ?
KRISTIN LOOKS AMAZING! I remember seeing her in the one size fits all video and wow, she seems to have lost weight. Not just that, because she was of course beautiful to begin with, but she's just really pretty and knows how to play up her best features. She seems so confident in her own skin and is beautiful inside and out! What an inspiration
There is no way Tess usually wears a 22/24. Absolutely no way. Kristin is much smaller than her. No way should they be the same size, ever.
+Allyson Newton I was thinking the exact same thing, actually.
I was thinking the same thing! Like not in a "I'm disgusted with your size blah blah blah" but as a plus size woman. I relate to Kristin's body type a lot- we're similar, i just have broader shoulders...but i'm also a bit smaller than her pant size. My point is i *know* I'm not the same size as Tess, i use to admire her as a bigger woman in the modeling industry because plus size is not really plus size when it comes to modeling.
Point is, her sizing is just definitely off..
she was trying to seem smallet
whenever I see her and see it said that she's a size 22, all I can think is "I must be gigantic!"...but those size 28 shorts looked good on her, even if they were a bit loose. based on my own experiences with torrid, they probably would have fit me. I feel better now. lol
+Anna BerrieBlu See, I love Torrid! Their stuff fits me very well. But I'm also very curvy. My hips are much bigger than my waist, and I have D or DD breasts. I'm definitely an hourglass shape.
I died when Tess said she’s size 22🤣 now u just learned ur a 28 🤣
TESS IS JUST OH MY GOD. SHE IS A LEGIT GODDESS!
Sam McNamara but she's pretty and seems super nice! I myself look up to her :3
that she seems comfortable in her own skin and doesn't take shit from douchebags (=①ω①=)
Agreed 😊
Lunatix killjoy you look up to fat people, man just eat some more and you can be like her!
Tweeker / ImJustToPro4You nah I'm good, I'm kinda love how I look now so... The only thing I wanna chage is my boobs, I don't want 'em
I just want to start off by saying these women are very beautiful, especially Tess. But aren't they at an unhealthy weight? I mean, no fat shaming here, but isn't that too much? I am just concerned for them. It doesn't seem too healthy.... I don't know how else to put it. I am sorry.
May Athena Perhaps they are, but something you should consider is the fact that just because someone is skinny does not make them somehow healthy.
A girl at crossfit is about a 2x, but today she finished half Murph (0.5 mile run, 50 pull-ups, 100 push ups, 150 squats, 0.5 mile run). She was going faster than someone who was super skinny. Truly, we cannot assume that weight = health. We don't know anyone's habits or what they are doing to take care of themselves. :-D
Also, I did half Murph today, too. I am not overweight, but I definitely have trouble running due to being an injured gymnast. I've been called fat before (again, healthy weight), but no one realizes that 3 years ago I almost needed a cane because my knee was in such bad shape (I was 24 years old). Truly, we never know someone's stories.
BroadwayPhoenix But we do know that a 42.9 BMI is 'dangerously severely extremely obese.'
There are people that can live with bullets in their brains for years. Still...not everyone will survive that, and advertising brainbullets would be irresponsible.
Widdekuu91 I think you make a valid point, but one issue with this argument is that people always seem to imply that obesity is being made into a trend or something you should strive to be ('advertising brainbullets'), but if we're being realistic, there is virtually no one telling you to be bigger. So yes, we should ultimately strive to be healthier people, but you're never going to help yourself out by pitying and hating that 'bullet in your brain'.
May Athena Why be concerned? It's their life and their choice if they don't want to eat healthy and exercise enough to be "thin". Everyone has their crutch, theirs just happens to be more visible than someone else's.
Widdekuu91
That analogy is completely nonsensical. Again, you make the same judgment that everyone who is overweight is unhealthy instead of seeing it that they are trying to empower themselves to get to be healthier. People who make those kinds of judgments are exactly the reason why they end up in the trend of getting bigger - they feel like they are constantly judged to the point of no hope. Think before you make comments like that.
I'm muting this post. I thought this would be an intellectual conversation, but it turned into the same judgments people constantly hear. It's really old.
But like did you just click on the video to day shame? The title literally says "PLUS SIZE WOMEN" if you don't like it why did you click on it?
finally someone said it so I don't have to
Love you!
Domabombtastic Dom plus size isn't morbidly obese. Plus size is Kristen and Sheridan, not Tess. That's just sickening and no one as big as Tess should be proud of that.
HeyItsRose Humans aren't naturally obese and you're logic is flawed please go back to school.
Maryan Cihos it says plus size idiot
The whole sizing thing happens everywhere! Even if you’re not plus sized. In most stores I range from 8-12 ( though the twelve is when I want a baggy loose fit) and my shirts and sweaters literally go from small to large so yeahhh.
Whoaa hoooo haaaoo! That big girl with the short red hair... BEAUTIFUL.
I KNOW RIGHT! Her eyebrows are beyond perfect too....
Fez Girl Everything about her is perfect, even her tattoos are well placed and... perfect!
Channah Sorensen Shes a Plus-Size model. You can follow her on Twitter and Facebook. Very inspirational lady.
her name is Tess Holliday. she was on the cover of people magazine with the caption "world's first size 22 model!" she's amazing.
I was thinking the same thing! Like wow she's so gorgeous
2/3 of women in america are overweight so stores would make a profit off of plus size clothing
If 2/3 of our women are "overweight", then that's not good. In fact, that's unhealthy. It brings so many health problems.
exactly majority is 12-16, by doctors still considered overweight but to me the perfect weight and genreally a normal/majority figure.
there is barely any clothes for size 14 and up that are decent (and there are barely any stores that sell size 16 and up clothing). stores would make a killing and 2/3 of women can have the clothes they want
+Laura Siebert I'm a size 14 and its so hard finding you tubers who are my size who can be style icons..
yes i completely agree
I am sure there are sizes for those who have extra weight but still are more or less ok. As for obesity... I think there is really no point in selling those sizes in the stores because either those people are fat because they don't go anywhere or they find it too difficult to fit their mobility scooter in the dressing room.
One trip to the Emergency Room because of a stroke or heart attack changes EVERYTHING. Clothing is the last thing these women will be fretting over.
Star Mac and you're also judging them based on their body mass. You have no idea what their daily life is like...
***** Yes, I am judging them based on their body mass. Their body mass will land them in the ER for stroke and heart attack, not "what they are dealing with on a daily basis".
***** They live in a privileged enough society to lose weight, but they just can't because of no self control and laziness. And you do know that body mass co-relates to lifestyle right? Fat bitches like these probably don't have a good lifestyle.
The Great Ammuraf actually I've struggled with my weight ever since I can remember... but you know what? I eat better & work out more than most of my "skinny" friends.
^ yeahthat and some people are just natural have more bidet mass then others I mean my friends sister eats nothing but fattening surgery foods but is really skinny while she eats less food in general and looks pretty big
to the people who still don’t understand, they took their measurements and ordered according to the sizing charts on the website, i.e. the entire point of the video. that’s why it was fitting the women differently or they were wearing different sizes from each store. so stop commenting on how the women are different sizes. yes, bodies are different.
eww tess's arm is bigger then her head. Yes i said eww because its gross, its unhealthy. and yes im fully aware that its "hard to lose weight" but its possible so stop acting like they are beautiful and perfect. "perfect" is a healthy weight. Tess is sooo far from a healthy weight.
First comment I've seen saying something that makes sense
KOilithya well thank you :o
+taylor nicole I applaud you for being honest they are unhealthy and not just a little overweight but they are obese I really hope they try to become healthy.
xXAmbarXx Me too! I think they all seem nice and have good ambitions, but they won't be around much longer if they cant fix anything about their bodies.
+taylor nicole Even if people are at a healthy weight they can still be sick or unhealthy therefor nothing is actually "perfect". Perfect is for children that don't understand how the world works yet.
My mum is 'plus-size' and she is the most beautiful person I know.
Forest King awww:)
Same
not the healthiest tho
Edyn Gal thanks for bull shitting
Forest King Aaww she sounds great (:
I get that losing weight isn't easy. But it IS doable and it takes a lot of work but a healthy life is worth it. I'm not fat shaming anyone, but we all cannot sit around and pretend that all bodies are beautiful while neglecting actual health issues in our country. Japan lives a healthy lifestyle and they only have a 3% obesity rate. America's culture of consumption and extreme portions are the reason why we have a 30% obesity rate.
There is a line between what is accepting your body and knowing when you have serious issues and should try and make life adjustments to better your health.
***** Thank god someone said it.
***** I understand where you are coming from but The Health Ministry said the number of young, skinny women in Japan has risen to troubling levels. A record 29 % of those in their 20s are underweight, according to a recent government survey. Those with a body mass index of less than 18.5 percent are considered underweight by Japanese standards. And my best friend is obese for her age but she has a heart problem and trying to lose weight could kill her.
Ok but most people who are obese are not unhealthy? I feel like, especially in America, people take the "ideal weight" for their age and height too seriously. It's called "ideal" for a reason and everyone is not perfect. The amount of fat on your body doesn't dictate your physical health.
***** I take exception to you equating people just losing weight with the larger health issues facing the US.
If you want to discuss how the food industry does things to food to create unhealthy scenerios, that's different. Everything from GMOs or bad practices raising livestock to adding sugar to most processed foods to make them "taste better". That affects EVERYONE.
You ARE fat shaming people. There are many women in the US who suffer from PCOS - polycystic ovarian syndrome - and they have a very difficult time losing weight even when living the doable, healthy lifestyle you blithely prescribe. PCOS is still a mystery...but look it up. It's heart breaking. That's due to something these women and girls can't control. It's probably related to how food is processed in this country.
Point being: you don't know anyone's story by just looking at them.
I just want to add that I'm not heavy, but I advocate for my big sisters out there. We're not talking about people who are wheezing when they take a few steps....we're talking about people who are bigger naturally. It happens.
You have jumped such a big concept of the problem of obesity. If you look at Americas poverty rate it is much high than Japan. Not every American has money for a healthy diet. And even in Japan there diet is based of fish because it's one of the things they have plenty of. And it's very healthy too.
For the people saying Tess is beautiful- that is fine, but most of you also think she is healthy, *which is not true, she will die if she if she doesn't lose weight, don't listen to the media over your common sense* .
Thatbf1nub being that big is unhealthy
she might need to loose weight but she can do that on her own without comments saying she is obese and unhealthy. so what if some people are obese and unhealthy because they can fix it themselves [ if they want to] not the internet and comments.
"she will die if she if she doesn't lose weight", so will she live forever if she does?
*spoiler alert* everyone is going to die
Literally why I can't stand Forever 21! I mean I wear a medium/large depending on the item but they never fit cause they only cater to women with smaller busts. Like did they forget that women can have naturally small waist and larger breasts? Come on
+Midnight Esperanza omfg ikr. The last shirt I bought there fit everywhere except my boobs, they were practically popping out ;-;
Oh my gosh yes! I honestly can never find stuff that fits me there. Shirts are bigger sizes for me because of the chestal region. and then I'm short with thicker thighs, so it gets hard to find pants anywhere.
Ughhhh for real!!!! DX
yesss true
on the opposite side, forever 21 is too BIG on me!!! no stores fit me and I don't feel like a woman, I feel like a 5 year old boy because I'm a AAA and I have no butt. I have to shop at target to get my clothes because nothing else fits me.
kristin looks so small in this video
Small???! 😄😄😄
Keely Andrews I know right!
TH-camName Rude much?
MissAlenaXOXO not rude, just a fact. Ain't no one "small" in this video. 😂
They might not be small but they are beautiful asf
I cannot thank you enough! Because of your videos I broke out of my "little black tent" routine and bought a LBD for my 50th high school reunion. Its beautiful, I feel confident in it and never would have been able to do this without you!
0:34 I honestly love that dress on Kristin lol
Is it strange that I have the same problem, but with the opposite size? I hate how I have to shop in the kids section sometimes because they don't hold my "size". Also please don't hate on me cuz of this, I may small, but my mum used to be a plus, now usually a large.
I doubt people will hat you because you are not small.
Mikayla K. sizes should take into account that some of us are shorter or longer-waisted than others, regardless of our sizes. But it must be frustrating to find age-appropriate looking clothes if you are very petite.
Mikayla K. don't worry I'm 12 and I fit in 7-8 for shirts
shoes like 13 mabey
Mikayla K. I have that problem tooo
ShadDove
I didn't want to seem like one of those skinny girls complaining about their size...
Well I kind of am, but I didn't want to seem self-conceited.
I am appreciative that I arrived before the rude, insensitive, unnecessary comments arrived 😊
Mushie Pasta its too late for me sadly.
BigManEDog true and my bad for making the white people comment
Mushie Pasta I don't know what the "white" comment was about either haha.
But it seems we both misread each others comment. Almost every person commenting on this video seem to be getting mad that people like me are saying they are unhealthy. I understand the "oh they're ugly cause they're fat" comments being unnecessary and just rude since all of them are *clearly* beautiful. But literally praising their weight and choices isn't good, because they could be in massive pain and have other issues.
But I was trying to say that the "insensitive" part isn't true. It might seem blunt of me to say "that girl will die before 50 at her weight", but it's the harsh truth.
Also my comment didn't sound anything like "Ur a fattie ur gonna die at 50 trololol" whatsoever. I'm not even making fun of the women here, I pity them. If they say they're beautiful no matter how they look, good on them. Amazing part actually, more women need to think like that, but recognizing their weight as an actual health issue should also be known.
And I know they won't change their lifestyles from what I say haha. I highly doubt they'll see my one comment out of the thousands of people who comment on Buzzfeeds' videos.
BigManEDog The insensitive part is still true. I wasn't saying every comment mentioning their health risks or size was insensitive. Some were rude, some were insensitive, some were just unnecessary, and some were all three. Pointing out that they're most likely going to die early because of their unhealthy weight is just so happens to just be categorized as one of the unnecessary comments, because although this is most likely true, it's still unnecessary. I'm sure they all know the risks of being their size, so commenting isn't going to be the thing that makes them turn their life around. This video is simply about how badly lots of clothes are made for women like them, not how good and healthy and okay it is to be fat. This video isn't glamorizing being overweight, it's just stating the facts.
I get what you're saying about the health risks though, and I'm not denying that any of that is true. That is also just facts. I'm also glad you're not one of the ones making the rude insensitive comments though, just automatically associating being fat with being unattractive.
Mushie Pasta you want people to die fat horrible deaths, what type of person are you, oh wait youre not human
Or you know if you're willing to spend hours looking for clothes, maybe cut out one of those hours a day and get into a gym. no disrespect, but this is what is wrong with society. The clothes arent the problem, you are the problem.
most people in Amerika who are this overweight are either really poor or have an illness. A healthy diet can be expensive for a large family on a budget, and there are multible diseases that can make you super overweight.Also practically healthy people apart from their eating disorder are struggeling mentally and physically. It sinply isnt as simple as 'go to the gym sometime' , sadly.
it actually is that simple, going to the gym and lifting weights has proven to lower the risk of heart disease by 50% as well as cancer to some degree. I'm not saying that it needs to turn into your life, but there are NO excuses for someone who is living in america (where food is ridiculously cheap btw, and you dont have as many options as people in europe) to be obese.
im not sure where you live, but when you have a full time job and no money you cant really go to the gym daily. Ive lost alot of weight a couple of years ago and it just isnt that easy especially if your mental/physical state are in bad shape as well.
gym memberships are cheap, and there is no need to go the the gym everyday. if you have no money....save it...AND EAT LESS.
Dbz8607 not eat less, eat healthy. eat something that was not killed, like vegetables.
kristen looks so pretty!!
so can you not get Plus size in u.s stores? we have some plus size in the uk but even normal sizes aren't the right size, i'm a UK size 12 some places but uk size 16 somewhere else and i'm only 18. so frustrating x
You can get plus size clothes in department and basic stores(like target or Walmart)! Also Torrid and Forever 21+ are both stores
rebecca oliver Plenty of stores do but many stores to not cater to obese people. Even though they seem to cater to anorexic people with xxs sizes that look like they would fit a railing.
rebecca oliver i feel you're pain i range from a size 14 to an 18 and i really don't understand why either, that and in the UK i find it so hard to find pretty clothes in above a size 10 when i go shopping all i find are 8's and 10's
rebecca oliver Same my wardrobe consists of every size between 8 and 16. I can't actually buy anything without trying on every size. Believe me I feel the pain.
+rebecca oliver In the US it is extremely hard to find plus sized clothing that fits properly. Most 'name brand' stores if they on the very rare chance have someone that is plus size its a normal person's medium which doesn't work, at all.
Tess is gorgeous but she should lose weight... Not because she's not beautiful now but because being obese is unhealthy, it's dangerous for your health. I don't understand why people who now are glorifying Tess and her weight are the same people who criticise anorexic and skinny models. Anorexia and obesity are equally wrong and I don't understand why it's perfectly okay to say that a skinny person should gain weight but if you say that a fat or obese person should lose weight than you're being rude and offensive.
Exactly
Expressed perfectly
You don't know her so you shouldn't assume anything
+cupcakegirl767 why do u have to know her
+Jony3King B well, what's "overweight" for someone might not be for someone else. So unless you're an expert on her health, then you can't call her overweight because you don't have all the info.
The problem is that designers for large sizes were trained to design for a size 4 and not a 22. Usually what companies do is use the patters for the smaller sizes and just blow them up. It doesn't quite work that way. Design, cut & draping count for much. It's hit or miss for us big girls.
Seriously ?? I'm like a size 8, and it's never in my size because it's always stocked size 16 and size 18 !! (UK sizes)
I think your ordering the wrong size. If your a size 8, I’d recommend ordering 12-14. I’m in Ireland so we use uk sizing and from what I’m aware 0=4,2=6 and so on
Darling me too
Tess is gorgeous 😍
Well she's a model
***** didn't you just say that these women are beautiful, 26 minutes ago?
I see a human. Weight doesn't define beauty. She is beautiful
I didn't say I idolized her weight. I just made the statement that she is pretty. Not one comment about her weight. Am I not aloud to find a women beautiful? Just because she's over weight shouldn't make this an argument.
this isn't an argument I'm merely stating facts
Tess is the only actual model in this video but she looks the most awkward in front of the camera...
Kathy your are really right bc she has a small head
Gaby Kaiser Maybe it’s because she hasn’t been video taped for Buzzfeed as often
Kathy there's a difference between talking to a camera while being filmed and posing for a camera
Sheridan and Kristan are always in front of the camera for buzzfeed videos, so they naturally act more natural
Kathy I
All of these girls are so beautiful. I am a size 8 up top but a size 14 on my hips and I really struggle to find dresses that work for me. Clothes shopping used to be so much fun!
Unless your a lesbian I don't know how you can tell. The thing is you say they are beutiful without meaning it you say it so you can be nice. And they are not really beutiful. Don't send the wrong message across don't let society get confused of what beuty is.
Charls Cheese I'm bisexual and they would be attractive if they lost weight. Especially the huge one. She has the best raw features but she drowns them in SO much fat. She can pull off more weight than most people but would be hotter even at a size 16 or so.
You know what I wear all day every day SWEAT SHRITS
LIKE IF UR WITH ME
that model is beautiful wow!!
Her name is Tess Holliday. SHE IS MY IDOL🙌🙌
Delaney Dub yessss she is so pretty
Neferati wowwww
Delaney Dub She is morbidly obese. She looks nice but she needs to fix her weight. This isn't coming from a looks standpoint, but a purely medical one.
AtilaCXL Ok but that isn't your place to comment on. This is what really irritates me about fat phobia. Yes, chances are if a person carries a certain amount of fat or more, that could have some impact on their health. But guess what? It's still not your business. I'm sure she and her doctor have a better knowledge of her health and don't need your insight.
Do they realize that not all normal-sized colthes fit normal-sized people, just like these plus-sized colthes didnt fit them all, right?
exactly
that's kinda the point of this video
Yes, but those people have the ability to try things on in store to see what fits. That's the entire point of the video.
Roxanne Bowers I see plus sized stores everywhere? Forever 21 has a plus sized section in most stores I've been to.
I'm not plus-sized, but let's be honest, the quantity of items available to them in the store is smaller. For example, Forever 21 has a plus-size section, but it's not nearly as big as the "regular" section...same with stores like Kohl's.
Tess is a way bigger size than what she claims to be.
you wouldnt know if you were her :-)
+The Flying Phantastic she does know bc in the video she claims she's 3x or whatever and when she tries on the size she thinks she is, it doesn't fit.
Yea, I understand now. I thought she was just a nice girl but now I know her true colours
and thats your business because..?
+Deanna McRae because she's delusional lmao
This is not specific to plus sizes though. If you just put on a piece of clothing, it may not fit you. You have to play around with what size works best for that specific piece.
I love how people are pretending they care about a random stranger's health, I doubt anyone of you would go up to someone with a cigarette and tell them they were unhealthy so why is it so different for an overweight person?
maditalksclothes this!!!!!!!!!!!!!
maditalksclothes I give them dirty looks and cough loudly
Best comment I've seen so far in this mess!
People don't walk up to fat people an tell them to stop being fat.
maditalksclothes lol I've told a smoker that before
The dress Tess has in the introduction is so cool :D And I love the purple eyeshadow omg I like her style
ikr she's so beautiful c:
Ya it's a great idea to go out of our way to give obese people less incentive to lose weight.
Vegan Gains Really? Going into the store to buy clothes is LESS active than sitting at your computer and ordering shit online?
Vegan Gains You are basically are saying that we shouldn't make plus size clothing?
Well they don't want to order online because they are unsure on how it will fit them.
There are no clothes to buy anywhere else.
They get fed up with ordering clothes and spending more money than they should on clothes that don't even fit.
Might as well lose weight so they don't have that problem anymore. No?
Vegan Gains You do realize that some people have a MEDICAL CONDITION WHERE THEY LITERALLY CAN NOT LOSE WEIGHT, right? On the other hand, some people can't afford to get a gym membership or hire some fancy-ass nutritionist like other people can. Organic and healthy foods can be really pricy, some people just can't put up that extra dollar to get apples instead of chips. You really shouldn't be complaining about people being overweight until you decide to supply them the money, materials, and people to help them lose weight.
Andrea Ellen
I can't afford affordable gym membership or a nutritionist.
Healthy food is cheap.
You are just making excuses for lazy people. The fact that you are hinting towards, "only rich people can be healthy" is really fucked up.
"I think today will be full of surprises. Which is great because I hate surprises." 😂😂 Literally how my mom self wakes up every damn morning.
I'm honestly surprised that all three of them are a 3X according to Fashion to Figure and Forever 21. Tess is, well, considerably plus size, Sheridan is mostly plus size due to her height and stature rather than her weight, while Kristin looks like she doesn't always have to buy plus size clothes.
Yeah I agree. In another vid I recall Kristin saying she has PCOS, which causes her body to be the way it is.
I love Kristin she's so funny and sweet
***** also, you're seriously beautiful.
Tess is so beautiful omg
***** agreed
She is gorgeous
I agree as well ☺️
Fatty po pos UNITE!
***** It's great that you're saying that, but I doubt it's coincidence that you're saying the biggest of the girls is 'so beautiful'.
I know you want her to feel the most confident, but you can't just say 'you're extremely beautiful just the way you are; don't change at all'
I mean, it IS unhealthy to be that overweight...
The Forever 21 dress looks *amazing* on them! The dress just needs some little changes to fit each girl's specific body type
