It's ironic how the brides say "I let him know I was overweight before hand and he excepts" ... but then the groom is just as much overweight.

[@cslemski]

This is kind of one of those quotes, that makes me think 'You also realize 'being fat' also can be a medical condition? Lymphoma, Thyroid, and so many other things. It's not about health at all, it can also be about genetics.

Actually, that's a very common misconception. Obesity does not automatically equate to morbidity - just as being thin does not automatically equal health.

I just wanted to say that when she claimed "I'd rather be happy and fat that on a diet and miserable" she was wrong. If you do it right, you are not miserable during the process of loosing weight. It might not be easy, but weight can be lost without painful exercise, without constant hunger and without cravings. Being fat is much more uncomfortable.

[@jenettemerlini6035]

🙌🙌👏👏 exactly. She must be doing the wrong things and making herself suffer.

[@michellequek7]

Exactly. It should be a healthy lifestyle change, not a crash diet.

[@Spy11357]

I’ve been on a diet of a 500 caloric deficient for about 2 months now and I’ve already lost 4.5kg’s, and I’ve barely changed the stuff I eat, just smaller portions

[@maryburger1232]

BS , I've been on loads off diets and they ALL left me hungry and miserable ! I can't exercise much because of my medical issues , I also have food Intolerances.

[@Spy11357]

mary burger This is a situation that you’re facing which is quite unique for you. Dieting can be barely noticeable if you find a good rhythm. Since you can’t exercise and have food intolerances, of course dieting is going to leave you miserable. For me, I can easily live off of 1,500 calories a day just by cutting out un-needed snacks (I do have a bit of junk once a week though) and managing my portions.

[@Dr.sher01]

Not one of these grooms were slim but were talking about how accepting they are of the women’s fatness???

[@rumblefish9]

[@illnesssucksfindfunn]

If I have any advice for these ladies it’s to do exactly what you want on your wedding day!! Get a dress that you want! Do what you want! Get the dress YOU want! Not what anyone else wants. I made a mistake when I got married. At the last minute I got the big traditional white wedding dress everyone said I would “regret” not getting for my wedding day. I HATED it!! So a couple years later we renewed our vows. We told everyone to keep their opinions to themselves. I got married in a black dress at a Christmas Tree Farm. It was amazing! Do what you want! Find a dress you feel lovely in! No matter of you’re a size 2 or 42.

[@reikonira]

Thanks for this. My wedding is in June and I decided to get a normal everyday blue dress. Since then, I've been a bit scared that I'd regret it because it's not "traditional" but reading your comment is a relief to me. :)

[@wendybitch06]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Well said, girlfriend!

[@emilyyarbrough1512]

I got married in a purple dress. The shade of purple was a rich shade. It was a dress made by an English designer for a society wedding when I was a kid. I was 16 and the moment I saw it at the shop ( the shop’s owner was the English designers mum) it just screamed my name. The only dress I tried.

[@geniemeadows5122]

@Besa Clark...are they really happy and confident? I do know thin can be a trial also.

[@mrknarf4438]

Everyone can be confident, regardless of size. It is however way easier when you're not just thin, but healthy, meaning you eat well and exercise. Everyone should strive to get better, not because they hate how they are now, but because they love themselves. Exercising 3+ times a week can do miracles for mental health.

[@geniemeadows5122]

@Mr Knarf....a tubby person could be sort of happy but a really obese person cannot. Same as a really skinny person. There is too much worldly pressure and too many mean people about and too many obstacles for the really obese. I suffered so much being little and skinny for decades total belittling (a lot was done by jealous girls and women)...but evil boys and men also when younger. I have seen both sides now. (I had many dates though when younger - incredibly handsome ones). Now I'm overweight and trying to lose some. I am an oldie and cannot walk far in Winter and our paths are slippery. I have had a broken leg twice. My mental health suffers too if I see dogs stuck on chains in the neighbourhood or hear them in a shed if i was out walking as I did once ..it's too shocking and haunts me the animals so I cannot walk around the neighbourhood. I think housework is ok for exercise mostly. I have lost some weight just cutting out sugar.

[@mrknarf4438]

Genie Meadows I've never mentioned happiness, just confidence. Tips from someone who is studying fitness and nutrition: remember that losing weight is almost entirely dependent on your diet, exercising to lose weight is mostly ineffective. I'd recommend downloading MyFitnessPal or a similar app to track calories (they're free): it seems like a big hassle, in reality it only takes a couple of minutes per day and is by far the easiest way to truly realize what and how much you're eating, to stick to a plan and reach goals. Remember it's going to take a while, it's not a sprint but a marathon, not a diet but a lifestyle change for the better. Good luck.

Honestly from an overweight woman to the next, its so hard being judge because of something as simple as our weight. Yes we know the health complications that comes with being obese but to constantly be judged about it is also unhealthy for our mental health. It’s okay for us to want to have dress options for our wedding day. I went from a size 20 to a size 14 (still going down) and the only thing that made me lose weight was me being happy with myself at the weight I was, then saying “okay, let’s knocked down these health risks.” No one whoever called me hurtful names made me want to lose weight is all I’m saying. So maybe offer some positivity rather than negativity.

Yes we shouldn’t support being plus sized but that doesn’t mean that they shouldn’t feel good on such a special day! I’m very happy to see a place that is doing that. I’m large, thankfully not that large and getting my prom dress was very embarrassing so I’m scared to get a wedding dress xD (if that day ever comes)

[@ಥ_ಥ-ಫ5ಮ]

True. I don't support the fat acceptance or health at all size movement but this was such a heart warming video.

[@oitofevereiro]

In order to feel good on a special day, I think they should have whatched their health before :/. It's alarming to see such denial. I'm large also (not obese, but I could have been if I wouldn't take care of myself) and if I wanted to feel special on my weding day, I would start dieting in order to feel good, differentely from the other days. I don't belive these women feel good in their every day lives :/.

[@LittleKitty22]

But isn't it fat acceptance to cater for such extremely large sizes as in the video? It's saying, be as fat as you want to be we still make you look good for your wedding day - instead of saying, stop overeating and loose weight.

[@jaxsjpg3225]

Sofia Santos I totally agree, it’s a shame to see that some of them are happy this way and won’t accept the reality of their situation which is why I don’t advocate for it - but for most, I don’t think they’d have their wedding at their weight if they thought it wasn’t the only option you know?

[@jaxsjpg3225]

Little Kitty yes, it definitely doesn’t help but clearly the woman understands how they feel which is why she opened the business. I’m glad she doesn’t treat them like their beautiful but instead talks straight to them

I can't stand it when people say "I'm sorry, but"...and then make their opinion known. You're not sorry. It's your opinion, and you're entitled to express it. "I'm sorry" just makes you a tool. If you're sorry, don't say it! Then you won't have to "be sorry". Just keep it to yourself. On to the main point now: Whether it is "beautiful" or "ugly"...it IS what it IS, and here's the point a lot of people leaving comments aren't touching on: FAT PEOPLE are the LAST social group for which it is OK to openly ridicule, judge, and discriminate against. Why? I'll tell you why. The reason why is...they have a problem that is readily visible on the outside of their bodies. When you look at a FAT PERSON, you know in an instant what they like to do: eat too much. Therefore, because the result of their problem shows up in visible form all over their body, you think it's ok to point your finger and judge them for having that problem. For all of you sitting comfortably in your socially acceptable form (thin), who think it is OK to judge FAT PEOPLE...I ask you...WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM? Or...are you perfect??? Or...do you surf porn and jerk off all day? Do you spend money you don't have? Are YOU addicted to alcohol, drugs, or sex? Do you have an addiction that you can keep safely hidden from the world, therefore escaping society's scorn, judgement and ostracization? Or are you the Second Coming of Jesus, with NO PROBLEMS of your own? Every fat person knows deep down inside that they are probably going to leave this planet early because of their problem. There is not a fat person on this planet that would freely choose to be fat...no matter what they say. This world is a cold, compassionless place. Fat people are abused because they have a problem that they can't hide. What are YOU hiding? Come out into the light! Be judged, just as you are judging others.

[@LittleSparklingStars]

When obesity is a common problem like in the US, the UK and mexico, it is not a mental issue anymore but a cultural problem. Fast food and restaurant culture are for the big part responsible for this. The british and americans basically eat garbage in unusual sizes. Look at the scandinavians, even their fast food burgers are made of healthy ingredients and in normal portions.

You know you don't have to write all of that? You can summarize it easily. Here, let me do it for you. "You don't need to apologize for sharing your opinion.

I can't stand it when people repeat themselves over and get over emotional.

Plus size in the UK starts at 18, there is no prescribed upper limit. It has always been +18 which is why most shops offer to size 16 as standard. Evans incorporates 14s simply to extend their market, their plus size business begins ar 18.

I was (and still is) a plus size woman and have been all my life. I remember my late mom and my cousin went with me to David's Bridal's to get my dress. At the time I was a dress size 28W but their dresses only went up to a 26W. The dress my mom and cousin picked wasn't what I wanted and having bigger boobs and a big stomach, I felt very insecure and, the dress was very tight across my boobs. I wish you lovely ladies was here in the USA; I surely would've gotten the right sized gown and the gown I wanted and not one someone else wanted for me.

[@Frances86]

Fat shaming is big in the US- I've never been very big but was always trying to be thinner. Once I'd get there I noticed I wasn't any happier nor did the man I was with like me any better. All of that is nuts. I'm older now and feel fine about my body because I have healed a lot of unconscious issues I didn't know I had. I feel beautiful inside now sometimes which I never felt as a younger woman and it spreads to my body. It's just one more way to put women down for something, anything. I think we are all getting done with the you're less mindset. I loved these women and the shop owners. It was very helpful for me to see how hard it is for them. Thank-you to everyone in the documentary - very brave. And whoever did it - this is a great service to all of us. Thank-you again!

[@salty1100_]

All these hateful comments make me so sad! Like they know they are fat, obese, etc. They have been told that since youth, however everyone deserves happiness and you can't really begin to work on yourself if you don't love yourself first and Idk about in UK but in US plus size doesn't have a limit it's 14/16 and up I believe. Additionally Lauren was an absolute DOLL!

[@lorainefleeman5493]

[@GirlVegan]

[@twdjt6245]

​@@notsomuchhere1387 Exactly. Some of these women first claim to be comfortable and confident with their size.... yet one of them even said she thought she'd look ridiculous in a wedding dress and almost dressed like a cherry/hotdog instead. First they say they're confident and comfortable being morbidly obese, and then they begin to describe how uncomfortable it really does make them. And why wouldn't it, when people generally treat obese people like shit and you have 2-3x more weight than you're supposed to have weighting down on your joints, heart and vital organs? Now that's not to say that average/thin women never suffer from low self esteem or health issues, but honestly, how can these women say that they love themselves whilst full well KNOWING that their chosen diet/lifestyle is like begging for/making them experience extreme discomfort, fatigue, disease, premature death, risky pregnancies, social stigma, etc?? One of them even said about her attempts to lose weight in the past: "well the diet made me miserable" …… so basically she admits to prioritizing how good junk food makes her feel to her health/LIFE.... and I can sympathize with that because that's a mentality I had to grow out of myself, but at some point, they need to realize that it is not mentally or physically healthy for themselves nor their children/future children to treat food as pleasure rather than fuel. Food should not control your life, much like drugs and other vices shouldn't. Besides, I have lost 100lbs within the last 10 months (100 more to go) and I eat foods that I like all the time. Sure I can't have all the carb loaded foods I formerly used to numb my depression with, but I'd say the physical and mental comfort and clarity I have gained (even only half way to my goal) is well worth it. Truly loving yourself is, like you said, giving yourself enough tough love and discipline to make a change for your own good and realize that you can't ALWAYS have your cake and eat it too. Truly loving yourself is prioritizing staying YEARS/DECADES longer amongst the living (and with a better quality of life) rather than giving that up for the few minutes of pleasure you get from eating junk food daily.

[@grinsekatze3085]

Almost 3 decades ago I went with a friend to a bridal-gown shop. She wanted to get married and was looking for a dress and asked me to come along and give her advice. She was very skinny and could wear pretty much everything. I'm a plus-size and was always limited style-wise due to my bodyfigure. Well, she asked the saleswoman if I could try on a wedding gown, too, because I might be the next one to get married (this was NOT my idea!) and the saleswoman gave an up-and-down-look of disgust and then begrudgingly looked for a dress in my size. When she came back with it, she said it was the only dress they have that could fit me and just to spite her, I wanted to try it on. It was the ugliest ruffle-thing I have EVER seen! It came with a bolero-jacket with a huge ruffle-collar which made me look like a giant curtain! And the cut of the dress itself made me look like a giant marble! I damn near cried when I looked into the mirror and swore to myself that I'd NEVER EVER wear a wedding-gown EVER! I did get married a few years later and wore a champaign-colored kinda business-costume kinda thing. Not really nice looking, but it covered my figure at the right places up nicely. The marriage didn't last and I've been divorced for over 2 decades now and not wanting to get married again. So that's my story of "finding my wedding-dress....not"

[@raraavis7782]

If you're happy being obese, great. Having been there, I find it very hard to believe. Even just being 3 dress sizes bigger than I should have been, there was incredible work, cost and discomfort in just trying to either conceal or compliment my size with clothing. Just trying to function normally as a woman took so much more effort. Maybe I was just too broke and lazy to be fat?!

[@Aradcliffe89]

I always think it looks exhausting and hard work to just move and function when I see obese people. So I just wouldn’t ever choose to be that big because I feel like it would personally impair my life far too much. Plus I would have to eat so much to maintain those calories and it would make me feel ill to feel so full from it all.

It's not just the bigger sizes that suffer. In the US the avg sample size us 8 aka 4 or 6 in street clothes. Some designers will send 10 or 12 but many do not. I worked selling gowns for about 4 years. And I remember many a brides who wear a size 12 or 14 jeans even a 10 and can't barely squeeze into the floor samples. They were the ones who were entirely devastated not thinking they would be "plus size" and able to try on anything they liked. We had many tricks to make them a bit bigger or smaller but not much room for that. It always broke my heart bc that was me too. I knew it wasn't going to be easy since I wore a 16 jeans but I ended up having to order a 22 and it was too small!!! Every size above 16(street 12) you are charged a massive upcharge for extra fabric and work. So your BFF who orders a 10 in the same dress you order in 20 pays a min of $200 LESS than you did. Add in excessive costs for alterations bc the dress makers don't make to fit you they just add inches. Many times makes the dress look awful and your bride wants to kill you. It's supposed to be the most amazing day and it turns into a nightmare 99% of the time unless you can find a plus size shop like this one.
