I am a plus size woman, so please understand that before you judge anything else I'm about to say. I went to school for fashion design. One of the first things you learn is not all fashions are designed for all body types. When you have something that looks good on a size 2 to 8 it is not, I repeat not going to look good on a size 22 to 28. It has nothing to do with fatphobia. There are plus size designers that specifically cater 2 plus size people. Not all fashion is designed for all body types! And again before anybody in the comments comes at me I am a size 24 woman. I learned a long time ago that I can't just walk into any store and buy whatever I want off the rack because it's not all going to look good on me or fit me.
Yup. There is a saying that you dress for your body type
THANK YOU. A larger size has to be redrafted. No one is out here crying that a designer makes for a differen bust size or shoulder width or whatever. If a designer could make $ and wants to do so, they will.
Exactly. I'm short, stocky, and straight, but all the styles I love seem to be affiliated only with skinny gay dudes. Nothing I can do so it's mainly Ts and jeans. And I'm not mad at skinny gay dudes.
I gained a lot of weight after I had my second child, however I have been a double d since I was 13 years old. Most clothes have never fit me properly especially formal Wear, as it is mostly designed for b-cup or smaller. That was one of the main reasons why I decided to go to design school. I want it to be able to create clothes that fit my body type specifically. Anytime I would buy something off the rack even when I was thin My bust size always made it hard. I would have to buy the clothing three to four sizes too large for myself and then alter them to fit the rest of my body
@kimberlyhregory 100000000 percent agree sis
Most brands don't carry tall sizes. You never hear tall women saying it's a social justice issue. Just shop at brands with sizes that fit you.
That’s literally what Leo was saying. Amala only played half of what he said but he ties it together with that point of view.
They also don't have short sizes too
@@Deac0n_Blues thats true but unlike being tall short people have the option to hem the clothing tall people cant extend them
Yep, as a woman over 6ft tall, I just accept that some things aren’t for me…
For real tho! Being tall and skinny is difficult to find clothing that fits well because to get long enough arms on the long sleeve shirts, you have to buy larger sizes.
How dare Lamborghini not make income-inclusive cars
Yea, they must be intolerant poorphobics! Lets start a protest. LOL
👏🏻
Do not give them ideas 😂
That’s such a dumb example. If people were complaining about the price of luxury clothing, then that would make sense but simply wanting to look good in clothing no matter your size isn’t absurd. If plus size people started walking around naked or working out naked (since y’all believe workout clothes aren’t for them either) y’all would be complaining too because the issue isn’t about logic, it’s about you people just hating on people for not looking the way you want them to.
@@Maddy-fd2uf uh oh we got a triggered fatty
And there are brands that focus exclusively on plus size No one cares about that
frrr
literally… there’s certain brands that cater to certain sizes.. and if you add all the brands up you get a big selection and all sizes 🤯😱🤯 .. “ugh torrid doesn’t have my size why can’t they be diverse to skinny people too hmpff” said no one ever … but there’s plenty discourse on brandy melville and this. it’s confirmed skinny people aren’t annoying
Facts. There are Big and Tall Stores that cater to Giants. You don't see My 5'7" ass Bitchin' in the net about them!!!!!!
Because the overwhelming majority of clothes are not made for plus size people and most plus size clothes are ugly. Either you're just playing dumb or you think other people are dumb. It's insulting either way.
Some brands focus on women and not men, too.
Whoever feels "unsafe" after watching a tik tok video on clothing sizes, should question his perception of reality and seek out a psychiatrist.
i think he meant that his audience, who is fat or just don’t happy with their body, was thinking that he judge them. if you don’t know he do a podcast about self esteem, changes and etc. so i can see why he said that 🤔
As someone who used to be 305lbs I agree with him..and now that I weigh 160lbs I still agree with him 🤷🏾♀️
Yeah, but I feel like this is somewhat similar to all the girlies getting mad when a brand doesn't come out with a foundation/concealer line that includes Somali levels of pigment. It's not that I think EVERY brand has the money to launch an "ALL INCLUSIVE" line, but I think AT LEAST A FEW mainstream lines should.
@@Itsstuff7328I agree but not all makeup companies have to be inclusive and that's ok because you have makeup companies that are inclusive for all types of skin tones..I'm not going to focus on those who don't and appreciate the ones that do 😊
@@ShanecaRene Agree 🤗
@@ShanecaRenewell said
Congratulations on your weight loss. That's great!
man really a crime to have a different opinion today, huh?
you know it 😉
not a soul around in any of these who actually took a walk outside
All true, but he was also trying to be combative (probably for attention).
100%. I decided earlier today that I will stop sharing my opinions on UA-cam. Every time I do it, even when I am walking on eggshells, being extremely nice and barely stating my opinion, I get absolutely blasted by woke people who put words in my mouth and call me names. I'm done.
God forbid you just meant be a sheep
Why would a large person WANT to give money to a company that doesn’t want them? 😂
Amala didn’t play the whole statement from Leo but that’s literally what he says
Yeah if a company doesn’t want to make something in my size, I simply buy from another company. It’s not complicated.
People want to make a fuss online and be bullies to these companies, it’s bizarre.
They want to partake in the brand game of "Look what fancy brand i wear". Otherwise you'd just go find a lesser known brand that caters to you. Tall or very small peeps do it all the time, given they too can't just buy of the rack most of the time.
Cause it is what all the cool girls are wearing. The girls that get guys all wear this... if I put it on myself maybe it will have the same effect on me, that is easier than the gym.
Too caught up on brand recognition. Have to have the logo like it helps to perform better, it doesn't.
As a big girl, MYSELF. I don't get mad that a clothing company doesn't have clothes in my size...I JUST KEEP IT PUSHING and shop at places that DO have MY SIZE.
Exactly! If they don't want my money, that's fine. It's the gay wedding cake argument. If they don't want my gay money, someone else will.
Voting with your feet and wallet WORKS and there ARE more companies that do this than used to!
You are doing the change the smart way!
"We are in an era where plus size clothing is expanding."
I see what you did there, and I like it.
Yeah, I thought "pun intended." She also used "by-and-large" and I thought "buy -a-large." LOL
Amala knows what she was doin😆
As are the Americans wearing it
No one has ever regretted losing weight. There are very few reasons why a person legitimately couldn't lose weight
I get why this would be a very common fact, however I'm maybe in the tiny minority where I can't maintain a healthy weight and I'm devastated I can't get back over 100 lbs. I realize underweight isn't typical in America but I am stressed by losing weight.
@@searabeara5328You should definitely seek help from a doctor. 😢
What medical degree do you have that gives you that expertise?
@@mrs.lunatic7136 I think it’s just common sense my dude
@riversedgekickboxing694 not a dude. The line "There are very few reasons why a person legitimately couldn't lose weight" is severely off base. There are thousands of reasons. Many of them medical reasons. It's an uneducated and unsupported statement. Something that someone who hasn't had to fight weight wouldn't understand.
Fat phobia is one of the dumbest claim from any movement and I am fat
And I even think it's the wrong phrase like is anyone actually irrationally scared of fat people?
Most "phobias" are the word is used by people who don't know the true definition of what a phobia is
@@Noradory fat people aren't being bullied they just don't wanna face the reality being fat may not be a choice but not doing anything to change it is
@@Noradory speaking facts like being g a fat ass isn't healthy and will eventually killing you is not bullieing its telling the truth
Yeah like being afraid of fat would be a bad thing?
Since when “fat” is not a bad thing? Plus most fat people have the ability to lose the weight. People are really allergic to taking responsibility of their own wellbeing these days.
True, but why Asian chicks have no ass, only extended back? I’ve been wondering about this mystery 🤔
Comments like this are infuriating. Try having hypothyroidism and get back to me. Add on menopause and then see how you do. Ask a woman with PCOS. Your arrogance and ignorance would be astounding if it wasn't just so sad.
That's exactly what it is! Taking responsibility for yourself and your actions nowadays is like blasphemy . The delusional behavior is insane
I'm 50. In my younger days I stayed right at 130. Now I'm at 260. I'm the problem. I'm lazy. I work at a desk all day and don't make an much effort to move around unless my RLS acts up. And cause of my weight my back hurts, my knees hurt, and my feet hurt. I get winded very easily and sometimes have pretty scary moments of feeling like I'm not getting enough oxygen. It impacts my ability to walk from a parking lot to a building if the distance is a bit away. So yeah being fat is not a good thing and the older you get the more difficult things are
And those who've been gifted with life on a silver platter want to take credit for it.😂
The girl with the nose ring saying he had to lose weight to feel better about himself. Well, Her friends, who I'm pretty positive have switched their genders to feel better about themselves, Shouldn't be throwing stones.
Amen brethren Amen 😂.
Ive never shopped at Lulu lemon. I just went to there website. THEY CARRY UP TO A SIZE 20!! These people are acting like they only carry extra small smh
Their*
For God's sake!
@@imjustbarelygettingstarted7352 I never knew people actually use that feature , but if that's the case then I'm surprised how AI / tech doesn't have the capability to spell things right based on the context , sigh
I saw this on TikTok and I KNEW people were going to be madddd
I have food sensitivities so every company should make food just for me. How about making everyone eat organic and GF because I have to😂
I worked retail before plus sizes. It went up to 12/14 the highest. There was no XL.
Black people, have asked These activists types REPEATEDLY to stop using them as a rhetorical device. It's disrespectful and they need to stop.
Real shit. IT'S Always White Women. Yeah I said it. They have been using us since the Women's Rights movement to get what they want.
Lol you people just can't stop being the victim can you 😊
@@jessesnow9860 if you had reading comprehension you would realize that person said that black people don't want to be viewed as the ultimate victim and used as a subject to compare in other people's arguments...

Can't think of a time that fat people, especially fat men were told to sit at the back of a bus, weren't allowed to vote, couldn't enter certain locations, were shot for entering the wrong time while being fat. Many successful people (especially men) are fat and Caucasian.
All these fat talks is about lookism, woe is me bc society doesn't find me attractive
I have a family member who sells Lane Bryant. They start at 10 and go up. They wouldn't be Lane Bryant if they started selling 2's. And I don't see anybody calling for 'Big and Tall' to start selling a 32" short suits for men. The guy's right. It isn't body shaming to say, 'that's not our market.'
I’m a tall girl. Do you know how difficult it is to find women’s pants in my length and shoes in my size? I pretty much HAVE to order exclusively online for those if I want anything feminine. And these are traits I CANNOT change.
And you know what? I’m not mad at the brands. They can make whatever sizes they want, and I don’t blame stores for not stocking sizes that rarely sell. It is what it is.
I am the opposite. I'm 5 feet tall and it's not easy to find petite sizes
I’m short it’s so hard as they just cut the end off and don’t change the pattern.
I do moan I can’t get petite and I see many brands regular being 33inch me at 24inch does not stand a chance.
But it’s totally up to the brand what they sell.
I’m 6’2 and I don’t have a tailbone anymore due to a tumor removal so same here girl
Me too. Finding trousers is so difficult.
@@WubywooWhy did you bring up your tailbone?
Side note but girl THIS IS YOUR COLOR!!! I haven't seen you wear that shirt before in a video but it makes your lips and cheeks pop!! love
it's almost like standards exist for a reason
who would've guessed
I am a tall girl who has had a problem to find the trousers that fit me well in length my whole life. There are not that many brands that cater my need but it is what is. I don't go on tiktok and cry about it
Finding a store that has tall sizes is like finding a golden ticket!
Yes to this! Very few brands ever make pants long enough for women taller than like 5’8”… it is indeed struggle and I guess that means all these brands are tallphobic lol
Crazy thing is that Leo used to be fat so he knows from personal experience what he’s talking about. It’s not like he’s talking out the side of his ass. These brands don’t need to cater to everybody there’s plenty of inclusive brands. Why does every brand have to be for bigger people that doesn’t make any sense and there’s no point complaining about it either.
He’s also 6’7 so I’m sure he knows a thing or two about not fitting most clothing brands
I asked my mom (who is a fitness nut and physical trainer) what fatphobia is and she gave the *actual* answer. Fatphobia is the fear of gaining too much weight. That’s it.
They keep twisting the meaning of things and it’s so tiring.
Clothing brand don't have your size...
Solution 1: get over it
Solution 2: learn to sew
Solution 3: pay a tailor to make the clothes for you
Solution 4: Lose weight
I worked in fashion retail management for years, I can promise you we have tried endlessly to make a profit off plus size, it’s the opposite, we lost money, because VERY rarely did we have a larger person come out to shop. They ordered online almost exclusively. We were inundated with returns that clogged up the clearance section for months before we sent them back to the manufacturer for a loss.
what about luxury brands like gucci or louis vuitton? no one’s mad in the same way about how expensive their things are and how that excludes poorer people. all these brands simply have preferences in their target audience.
YES!
Fashion designer and pattern maker here. Plus size takes work to draft a pattern for, the proporstions and rules to making a pattern are way different when doing anything above a XL-1XL. They also require much more fabric and the designs even change slightly to accomodate a larger frame. It is more costly to create a plus size garment, espcially when you get to 3-4-5-6XL. I have made many plus size garments and explaining this fact sometimes angers them. They don't understand cutting on grain and making a hoodie in 4XL is going to be 4-6M of fabric, a coat is going to be 6-14M depending on length, that is a lot of fabric, and that does not include the lining which is slightly larger than the outer.
That’s exactly what these people are not understanding. If the clothes were cut the same way across the board they would be terribly unflattering on certain size people. Brands that specialize in clothing for plus size women have designs that work better with that kind of figure.
Liar
@@catiamatias2791 Who me? Which part am I lying about? Do you need me to explain why you can't grade a pattern from xs to 1XL+? Would you like me to explain what cutting on grain is and why is requires more fabric (unless you want to be a cheap designer that has their clothing twist after one wash) ? Do you need to me to explain why the designs are different to accommodate different body frames and why that requires a different draft? Do I really need to explain that drafting for a figure that has an abdomen that is larger than their chest makes is much more difficult to draft? Am I lying about how much fabric is required to make said garments? Let me know so I can address is properly.
@@catiamatias2791where was the lie? Because there wasn’t one lmao
Can someone please start a “healthy body movement”? I totally agree with this man, if a brand doesn’t carry your size shop from a brand that does. I am changing my eating and exercising routine trying to get back in shape. Clothes that used to look cute on me just don’t in the larger size. It isn’t the clothes, it’s my body. Weight loss is a struggle for sure, I never thought it would take so long to get back into shape but here I am. I am not giving up, I want to be healthy again.
Good things take time, you will get the result you want in the end 🤗 you got this!! 😊💪🏼💕🤗
@@yvonnezed thank you!
@@Noradory there is no reason to complain (as in this video, not you personally) if specific designers don’t make clothes for big people. Many don’t make clothes that fit me but I don’t take offense to it, I just find clothes that will fit me. People get offended by everything these days. People need to get over themselves and learn some decision and coping skills. There are designers that make clothes for bigger people, they should seek them out and support them or start a line themselves.
Bodies tend to follow programming. If something is introduced that benefits it, it will shift its focus to cater to it. If something benefits a system TOO well, it will adjust fast and cry a fit when it's taken away. For women, it's especially difficult because female bodies are designed to store energy and everything in modern culture artificially amplifies estrogen levels. If you curtail that hurdle, though, your body will see the deception and demand healthier habits. Keep it up.
All this drama over clothes? Just clothes? People need emotional regulation
I one million percent agree with this man on this issue.
I’m a grumpy old man. I’ve quit apologizing to sensitive snowflakes. I just tell-’em to deal with it.
Agreed!
I usually but XL or XXL sizes, but sometimes it will still feel tight depending on the fabric that was used. So even something that’s in your size won’t always fit right. One of the many reasons why I’ve been eating healthier and exercising more.
you go, girl 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
👏🏽
Way to go! And I feel your pain girl! I'm only a Large in leggings but I'm an XL-2X in tops because I'm tall with a very muscular, stocky build and really broad shoulders, and stuff just doesn't freaking fit (even when I was really skinny)! Having a top that's too tight feels awful! I've already lost 40 lbs and I'm working to lose another 30 so I can be healthy and fit into clothing more comfortably. It's hard, but you got this! Trust me, you aren't alone!
Leo is proof that you can change your physique, the body positivity movement is people choosing to stay the same. Most online fashion brands carry plus sizes so then choose those brands. Arguably we are living in the most size inclusive generation ever.
HE SPOKE THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH THOUGH!! As someone who is a buyer of high fashion. Most brands don’t go over a 12 and that’s more like a 9. I can fit and wear sample sizes and can fit in the runway pieces. Anything over that is custom made. A designer once said (I’m not saying who it was) told a client that was very large, “ IM SORRY! I’m a fashion designer. I DONT dress furniture!! “ the point is fashion designers have different looks and clientele for them. The real tea is, designers usually don’t make bigger sizes because of the costs. Exotic and luxury fabrics cost more per yard. The intricate brocade and beading on a couture piece can take 150 hrs to make for someone that’s a size 2. Imagine making it for someone that’s a 14 +? And considering most high fashion is over the top for most people the likelihood of selling things at that size would lose money dramatically. It’s reality honey! Have u seen The devil wears Prada? 😮💨 The fashion world is a ruthless industry. We talk 💩 and tell it how it is! Period!
You hit the nail on the head; these children need to calm down…. The drama omg everything with this generation is on blast, it’s pathetic.
Same with height. Some things look better on short women while some clothes suit tall women more.
I watched a guy saying if brands don't carry plus size, then brands will be allowed to discriminate on sexual orientation or race. I said being fat is a choice and the other two aren't.
What a stupid ass comparison. Nobody is stopping fat people from buying brandy Melville, it simply wouldn't fit
Hate to tell ya, but there are medical conditions that cause weight gain/obesity...which means that not all people can control their weight. And, yes, I do have one of those rare conditions. However, I don't think any brand/designer should be expected to make from my cousins 00 to a 36, an XS to an 8X. Not all designs are for all sizes. The same as an item of clothing made for me won't fit/look good on a size 6 person. An item of clothing made for that said size 6 won't translate in the pattern to a size 30 and still look like the same item of clothing. So, all that being said...make what ya want for who ya want and people look around for brands that are actually designed for plus size people.
The analogy with discrimination on orientation and race doesn't make sense either way, simply because orientation and race don't affect your ability to wear clothes, and the only way a brand can discriminate you in that case is by refusing to sell you clothes, even though they fit you and you can buy them. But nobody refuses to sell clothes to a person because of their weight, you just don't buy them, because you physically cannot wear them, they don't fit, a brand doesn't have clothes that you can wear. This comparison of "discrimination" is ridiculous.
@@Noradory For most people it is a choice.
@@netaniamullingsIve been hearing the 'i have a special condition' excuse for decades...even going back to the 70's when it almost never happened that you'd see someone obese like you see several times a day now.
After seeing this very obese couple about once or twice a month at the grocery store in their electric wheel chairs, each holding a little dog my kids asked me why people get so obese. I didnt have an answer but i did tell them that when i was their age it was very rare to be as big as many people are these days and you'd talk about it with friends and family it was so rare.
I just realized that the body positivity movement has the acronyms BPM….
'bout 130 resting for most of em.
@@scuzzbucket8485 The punnnnnn 😂😂😂😂
0 bpm soon
Big People Matter???
😂
The "Body Positivity Movement" nowadays people are TOO sensitive! People don't need to love everything about you, and if you're not happy with yourself, put in the work to change bad habits!
I read a quote once and it changed my life and my habits- “You wear your lifestyle like an outfit” 🤮
That woman at 7:04 very subtlety said the quiet part, which is their whole problem, they have forgotten that eating too much can be a disorder. Like, seriously, she said so much there. You could actually learn a thing about the core dilemma in much of this movement.
I agree with you Amala. Some of these people are straight up crazy. Making every excuse as to why people can’t get healthy. Our country is the largest it’s ever been. Fast food, soda, sugar added to everything I could go on and on. We absolutely have a problem with obesity.
Every clothing company cannot afford to make size 00-24+. What next, does the government have to subsidize clothing manufacturers so they can make bigger clothes? If you can’t find what you want, how about you CREATE what you want?
ready to start a revolution for size 42 shoes in the women's section
Please! 😂😂😂
Weight loss is easy. It's literally a simple as not eating as much. I went from 230 to under 190 in less than 2 months by reducing my appetite with the power of amphetamines and Depression.
Comparing race with being fat, which is a lifestyle/choice and you can change it if you want to is insane.
For people calling themselves "positive", these people sure are angry.
If your size goes up to 4x clothing should be the least of your problems
Food deserts!!! WTF is a food desert. I have been in the lowest income bracket for all my 66 years, for all my life I've had 3 square meals a day.from cerials milk and tea for breakfast to soup, sandwich, and what ever fruit was cheapest that week, main evening meat was rather meat or plant based protein with lots of veg grown by my granddad on an allotment. My dad worked in the local steel works and my mum cleaned for lasy or working women.
My kids were fed the same way and my grandkids are eating basically the same.
So what is a FOOD DESERT?
It seems to be a relatively new "thing", I can't remember the exact locale now, as it's been a while since I saw the video, but in some places in America, where the crime rates for shoplifting have skyrocketed, and it's dangerous for the employees to even be at work, they are shutting up shop and leaving the area. Not just one or two shops, but a lot! So it leaves these large areas without any proper shops to get groceries etc, and hence it's now a "food desert". The sad reality that people seem to miss though, is that the community creates the problem. A store can "handle" a certain amount of shoplifting, but when they are hit all day, every day, losing thousands of dollars a day, and said shoplifters are violent or dangerous, it's not safe for the employee's... then they get mad at the store's for leaving the area, and that they now have to drive three hours to get to a grocery store somewhere else... 🤦🏼♀️
I am terrible at explaining anything, but I might be able to find that video about it and drop the link on the end of this for you, it was explained beautifully! 😊
I can't find the video I watched previously that explained how crime was creating food deserts, but this one explains another reason they happen, also the pandemic ruining businesses is another reason... Crazy.
ua-cam.com/video/wAu8Noo8CxA/v-deo.htmlsi=SUSZzfGhmzthJX_4
I got caught up in this movement in my teens. I'm 27 now. These people are crazy.
A friend and i travelled to Switzerland a few years ago ... we were walking around and there was something strange but we couldn't put our fingers on what it was ... a short while later we realised that no one was fat/overweight. We did see a couple of large people the next day, when they spoke - they were American 😕
Unless Americans travel, they will continue to think that overweight is "normal".
It's not "fatphobic" to take care of your body. It's being responsible for the choices that you make. It's common sense. As an average 150 pound young male.
it’s crazy to tell the truth in a world full of lies
I used to work at an Abercrombie store in the 2000's. They had a particular look and wanted to hire particular people, as they were probably known for. I was shocked 15 years later to see a bit of curvy models on their website and how much their brand has shifted. It seems like they may have jumped on this "positivity" movement.
“Even though they stop at an XXL” 😂 What in the actual fuck 🤦🏾♂️
It's ironic that most of the "body positivity influencers" of 10 years ago are dead now, of side effects of being overweight.
I go over this in my episode "Is it Better?" Is it better to be healthy or unhealthy? The answer is obviously healthy so why listen to someone telling you to be unhealthy? Why listen to someone telling you to be worse?
How is morbid obesity termed body "positive"? Its more like body "negative" meaning people who dont really care about taking care of their bodies.
The body positive movement makes plus sized people think they’re SO entitled to everything
EVERYONE has the ability to lose weight. It’s just harder for some people than others. I have PCOS so I get the struggle. But just because it’s a struggle doesn’t mean it can’t be done.
Yep; like it sucks that it’s harder for you. So good job! But we live in a time where when I was growing up (only 40) I was always told that life isn’t fair, and it’s impossible to make fair. Now people are obsessed with the concept of equity…..
@@katiebakic6815 there is nothing in nature that is equitable. It’s a crazy concept to me.
8:08 this would be the same woman who would criticize Keziah Daum for wearing a Chinese inspired prom dress to prom. So her “comparison” wouldn’t hold water cause people who think like her already said “certain race can’t wear certain clothing.”
Stores with a large range of sizes are handy, and I appreciate it when stores do, but I'd never REQUIRE a store or brand to carry my size. That is super entitled.
Body positivity movement. It looks like the people of that movement haven't moved all their life.
I do agree with the third woman. If a brand claims to be inclusive, then it must cater for all sizes.
Of course, karma does exist and what will happen is very easy to understand. Brands won't speak anymore about body inclusivity and they will restrict their product lines to the sizes they can sell without problems and with a profit.
This woman does not understand one thing. For a brand, expanding the product line is a very expensive proposition, and they will do it only if they can cover the additional costs involved.
The results of the insults are simple : the brands will stop makeing claims about body inclusivity, and they will move on.
The "Me me me me me me me" movements are ultimately destroying themselves.
I am currently over 400 lbs and that's after almost 2 years of medical assistance to lose weight but it was originally misprescriptions for misdiagnoses that caused me to gain more than 200 lb in a year in the first place I'm still making progress however slow and I'm hoping the further I go the easier it will get but still prescription medications that I was prescribed put me from being a very active trying to live healthy person to what I am now in just a year and that is definitely changed my perspective on it like a moralization like you chose to be that way choosing to stay that way Well like I said I'm struggling but not giving up
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I wish you all the best on your health journey.
You got this..I used to be 305lbs and just remember one day at a time..and give yourself realistic goals you can accomplish..good luck 💛
Best of luck! You can do it
Good luck. I hope your able to be at your most desired weight :)
I just get sick of all that inclusivity across the board! Obviously don’t purchase from that brand if you can’t get clothes from it. The End
Comparing skin colour to body weight is absolutely insane 😂😂😂
I think it's crazy that I'm a size 10 and like 30-35 lbs overweight, but I'm not considered fat! A few decades ago, I would've been. We have to stop saying it's okay to be morbidly obese!
It depends how you carry that weight. A lot of women look good if they have the weight in the right places.
@@Noradory nobody is bullying anybody in real life. When a fat person comes online saying it's okay to be fat, then it's on them when people on the internet tell them they're wrong. Also, we need to bring back shame. Shame is a very powerful emotion.
@brianedwards9616 yeah, I agree. Unfortunately, I'm a white girl with no curves lol
It does suck not being able to find a bra that fits like it's supposed to and not pay $100+ for it. I need more than one! 😂 Clothing stores cater to the sizes they sell the most of because it is about profit. They don't profit if noone buys. Brands cater to their vision. Next, they will be whining that designers aren't catering to their weird fettishes. There are plus size companies that cater only to plus size people. There are big and tall companies that only cater to tall, large men. I don't care what anyone else thinks about how I look, I don’t have to try to MAKE everyone give me approval. They also don't have to have my approval to not be attracted to me or cater to me. I could always learn to make my own clothes. lol
I was looking at the H&M Move sportswear in the sale section. I’m an S and all of the sale items were XL or XXL. I was like hmmm, interesting.
Im so glad there are people like you who says your opinion without being rude to anyone
This is kinda like getting pissed off because McDonald's doesn't sell pizza. Geez this world is really screwed up right now.
I’m so sick of hearing that having certain health problems prevent people from losing weight. I have two things to say to these people:
1. I have a chronic illness that makes me in pain every single day and I still maintain a healthy body weight (60kg at 165cm tall) and go to the gym when I can.
2. Literally just go into a calorie deficit and you’ll lose weight. That requires no physical work, so no matter how “sick” you are you can lose the weight and maintain a healthy size.
The gluttony is unreal.
I looked up Brandy Melville and they do only sell one size. I laughed out loud when I saw it. Good for them!! :)
It's estimated that 31% of the adult US population is overweight these days, so why wouldn't a brand cater to its probably biggest demographic?
The body positivity movement is a 'wide' subject with 'large' consequences for anybody dares critise such a 'huge' audience risking 'mammoth' repercussions leading to a 'gluttony' of responses from the truffle shuffle brigade 😂😂😂
😂😂 not the truffle shuffle 😂😂
I get so annoyed when fat people and other people throw black people into their “group”. Being fat is a choice, being black is not. Fat and black people don’t have the same struggles so stop roping black people into it. Majority of fat people choose to be fat. They are not oppressed. This guy is merely stating brands do not have to cater to anyone. So ridiculous how all these people getting triggered over NOTHING! He’s not fat shaming or being fat phobic. Like everyone else, he’s just tired of people trying to push inclusivity where it doesn’t need to be. I don’t like hip hop or preppy clothes but you don’t see me running into the gap or other stores demanding gothic clothes or gamer clothes or whatever.
Oh wow. Girl said not being included gives you the right to talk 💩! Calling all the exceptionally thin, tall, and short ladies who also can’t find clothes just anywhere! I have found two brands that make jeans that don’t fall off me. Replace your XLs with XXS and we’re in the same boat. Except we’re not trying to make everyone else change for our own sake.
I understand what he’s saying… if we take that narrative on everything, then every restaurant should cater to everyone. It makes no sense; right people are allowed to have preferences. I mean, a business has to consider whether it makes sense for them to create larger sizes. Making larger sizes is more expensive, meaning they would charge more. I don't know why some people are so sensitive about the subject… wait, I do because they aren’t really comfortable with themselves. I lived in a food desert and managed to lose about 100 pounds. Sometimes, it’s not about the food choices. It’s about being active and taking the necessary steps to do so. It was the hardest thing to do, but being honest with yourself and taking accountability will allow you to do better.
I love your videos, by the way! ❤
I am so freaking tired of this food. Desert thing is being a reason that people are fat. Food deserts definitely are real in that some people, especially in cities do not have access to healthy organic fresh foods. However, you can always make a choice to eat one taco instead of three. You can choose to drink free water instead of a giant big gulp. No matter what kind of food you have around you you can eat less of it.
This is so true. You can eat healthy wherever you are. And you can fast which is free.
As a former borderline obese person clothes are a luxury to wear, thats why I cut the calories I was eating
When I was a size 0 it was hard to find jeans that fit because many stores assumed you had to be petite. Well I’m not. People don’t realize that a small sizes are hard to find as well.
Jeez, company shouldn't be forced to cater to everyone. It's their business, their money, their decision. People can find another brand that fits them.
A lot of brands are actually moving away extreme sizes because the sales numbers are abysmal and cost of material is bigger.
Plus size clothing is expanding !! Ain't that true??
for some people, the clothing is expanding even while they're wearing it
This is why I support ❤️ Woman training in MMA !
I am barely 5 feet tall. Every pair of pants I buy I have to alter. 3/4 length sleeves and clam digger pants are full length on me. And little people have it worse than that. MBA and WBA people can’t just buy off the rack either! My husband wears a size 15 shoe. Most stores do not carry that size. We have to order online and then they don’t fit and have to send back and order something else, etc. yes, frustrating, but it is what it is. These people are crazy
I love your determination to be fair and polite.
Did that woman just say she can't change the fact that she's overweight? 😂😂😂😂
Lordy, to each their own😅
I painfully see your point
uGH. Im plus sized and i have no desire to wear "the same exact clothes" "Just made a bit bigger"! i'd look so bad in them! I want clothing made for MY shape. These people wanting tiny styles made giant are crazy.
Leoskepi keeps it honest and real. I love it
That girl bringing up not selling clothes to Black people makes no sense because you can literally change your weight so it doesn’t really fit. People who say they can’t lose weight are just lazy and don’t wanna do the work.
That's not actually true for some people..as someone who used to be 305lbs I worked out constantly as well as ate healthy and I would still gain weight..finally I saw a specialist who focused on my thyroid health and found that to be my issue..once I got the proper help I was able to lose weight..it's not always about fat people being lazy and not wanting to do the work 🤦🏾♀️ have a good day ✌🏾😊
I used to be 350lbs. I've lost 185 lbs and feel like I can speak on this.
As far as clothing goes, a bigger size doesn't always fit on a plus sized body. Plus sized clothing is made with curves in mind. When I was plus sized I knew plus sized clothing would fit me much better than an extended straight size.
I've never been offended that not all clothes were made for me.
If you qualify for a personalised zip code, you give up any claim to a company's product.
If you try to drive your car safely you will pay less in auto insurance
Gives you incentive to drive safe
I wish that was true in health insurance
If you do things that keep you Healthy
You should pay less in health insurance
It does. Your policies go up if you are high risk.
Me and my sister had a big fall out over this argument. I make clothes and she asked for a shirt. I respectfully said no because not only trying to use alot of fabric is a pain on a regular machine plus no offense anything plus sizes wear just looks like a blanket. No matter how cute the outfit, it’s still not giving. 🤷🏽♀️
I agree with both. This is America, you're allowed to have an opinion. Does that mean the company needs to listen to you? NO
He's not wrong.
People were pissed when torrid added size 12 and I think 14. Because it isn't plus size enough. These people are the biggest hypocrites.
I'm overweight, and this attitude is ridiculous. I want to lose weight and not embrace my size....but I know I'll never fit into that brandy Melville brand though and do not care to😂😂😂😂 I want to be healthy. Plain and simple. I definitely believe those aren't the picture of health, and they'll be regretting their choices as they get older and it becomes harder to live.
YOU CAN'T CHOOSE THE COLOR OF YOUR SKIN. YOU CAN LOSE WEIGHT. 😂🤦♀️ It might be hard...if you have health issues. In particular, women with hormones..but it can be done...if you learn about the real way to regulate your hormones. Good grief.
Eating healthy isnt as expensive as some of these people seem to think😂
No brand wants their products shown in a bad light. If I see a mountain of flesh squeezed into a garment I know that designer isn’t for me.
