This movie actually had Aleksandra Bortich the main actress gaining and losing 20kg and it was filming was split in 2 blocks May and June. After which she had to maintain a very strict diet losing weight. Also the stunts you saw in the scenes of her running out with a flaming towel and climbing from balcony to balcony was also done by the actress with no stunt backups. Amazing film!
thk you very much for the info! was wondering about the weight cause it looked way too real in terms of arms face and neck for special effects Im not sure how ethical/healthy that is but you cant beat that kind of realism and understanding of the struggle by the actress! Props to her!
Kolya is the most genuinely kindhearted and wholesome character of this movie his heart was bigger than everyone else's and having a big heart is honestly more valuable than having abs
The amount of hatred directed towards fat people is just unbelievable. You would think that being fat, is a contagious disease you get by mingling and being "nice" to fatties. You would swear fat people are all monsters that steal and eat babies. Do they, these fat haters, share the same level of hatred towards other people also not having great wealth, like alcoholics or drug addicts?

@@marsevader dude stfu this op just said to be healthier and did not said anything about hating fat people... My dad is fat.. I am calling him fat cause he calls himself fat and that is causing him lot of money now just to stay alive... Being healthy is good... You gotta do exercise and stay fit... It's not about hating certain type of people it's about staying healthy and being confident with yourself... That's all.. If you are just confident and not healthy then it won't matter till you are in your 40s but your body would take a toll... Body positivity is a good thing and everyone should be proud of their own bodies but spreading hate about how unhealthy diet is good is wrong
I’m glad that this movie followed the story line of a girl who started out skinny but gained weight and showed the struggles of being treated differently from what they know as opposed to most story lines that follow a girl that was already overweight
Not just that but they address that being around people who will judge you based on your weight is extremely toxic and isn't worth it, while most "losing weight" films just say "omg i'm so pretty life is so much better".
No matter how big or small you are watching this, don't ever feel discouraged to get started with your own fitness journey, everyone has to start somewhere and always ignore the haters.
You have much of my respect from this comment, it seems your not some random fat attention seeking discord mod that I thought you were. Have a good day/night
Kolya is the definition of body positivity. Not like those fat people on tiktok or sum constantly being in denial about their issues and saying that people who dislike them are fatphobic. Kolya accepts who he is but still strives to lose weight, not to look good but to be healthier
he looked like he didn't lose any weight tho, at the contrary he was getting fatter LOL .... and yeah at least he know he have to lose weight, not like some fat people telling you that they like themselves being fat but in fact they just can't control themselves from eating too much
@@moma8510 Or they regurgitate that old tired myth of "murrr some people have different genetics/health disorders that make them fat" like stfu no they don't 💀 There is no combination of genetics/health disorders that makes you obese and health disorders like hypothyroidism causes weight gain of 5-10 pounds not 100 😭
@@mallorywiley4718 unhealthy depends on genes and the type of fat accumulated. She actually looked healthy to me as her fat was distributed well, which means it is soft fat.
My girlfriend is 5’3” and 200 lbs but she’s absolutely beautiful. As a relatively healthy guy I’ve gotten a lot of looks of confusion when I go out with her but they don’t understand just how lucky I am. She’s an amazing, smart, artistic, and driven woman and I couldn’t ask for anything more. She acknowledges her weight and doesn’t treat it like it’s completely normal or healthy. She’s driven to work on losing it and has already dropped 30 lbs! Edit: By now she’s lost about 60lbs and is more than halfway to her goal.
@@ecoli3524 WTF? Did you not read the whole thing? I literally said neither of us think it’s healthy and she’s been losing weight. Or are you one of those asswipes who believe it’s somehow a bad thing for someone to be driven to lose weight if they’re obese?
@@junaidshah8338 That's true to a point. Outer beauty can get some free meals and drinks, some D, then a 2am uber home. Inner beauty can get a ring, with a house and car. I've seen plenty of 4s and 5s secure a solid lifestyle for themselves in their 20s. While the 8s are still out here struggling with bills and bar hopping at damn near 40 years old. It's about knowing where you stand and understanding who you qualify for.
Also, it does matter if you are fat. Because that's the only thing you can control. Being fat is almost always harmful to you so don't be a dick and lose weight Edit : I know there are diseases etc, my comment is excluding them Edit 2: why are people thinking my comment is pointed towards women only? It's for everyone
Of.course look for professional help but i recommend going vegan. Follow a plant based diet will give you more nutrients and you will be able to develop muscle easily. I personally focus on cosuming enough plant based protein and i also avoid sugar, but i do other sweeteners like maple syrup and coconut sugar. Good luck with that, don't be afraid to eat a more wholesome diet instead of depraving your self. The vegan treats are amazing too so you wont miss out.
Nutrition is the key factor here, whoever eats healthy (avoiding processed sugar, flour, alcohol, sodas, and fries obviously), and trains a bit can get in shape pretty quick...
At 14 and through to about 19 I was chubby and had no clue until about 19 when I picked up one of those old jeans I'd kept away coz style had gone off trend and I'm like 😮what's this😂😂😂😂 I'd lost soooo much weight i met a former school mate who asked what happened 😂😂 and on asking why? She said i lost so much weight😂😂😂 we can call it baby fat, teenage fat... as long as you're not idle, ur eating right, applying self control,... quit the insecurities that come with weight issues...
@Fox 3 Oh yeah! Just to let you know , the average russian woman is 5ft 1 inches. And I’m pretty sure (assuming she’s average height) that she would be overweight at 70kg
My dad married my mom, she was pretty skinny and 5’10. After she had me and my brothers, overtime she gained weight. My dad’s Nickname for her is “Beautiful” He hasn’t cheated, hasn’t left, and still loves her with all his heart.
thats great, bless your dad, but really if you have a wife n 3 kids with her, if you left her because she gained a few pounds after giving you 3 children , something wrong with that dude, or hes just a selfish pos, either way your dad is setting a good example, please follow his lead n god bless you :)
Honestly the actress is gorgeous, both in the ‘fat’ part and the ‘skinny’ part of the movie. It saddens me that real people have this image of themselves. I hope ppl who struggle with this stuff in real life find friends like Natasha and kolya to build them up, or find success in their personal journeys. My mom has suffered from this basically her whole life, she always thinks she’s fat no matter how skinny she is. She even did a week long fast where all she could consume was water, by the end she looked horrible. Please know that whatever u look like, u are beautiful, and nobody can take that away from u.
I’m in this situation I’m not really “fat” but I’m not “skinny” enaugh to be considered pretty or lookable I have a really great best friend who always supports me but whatever I do I never felt good in my body I can’t seem to find a way to lose weight I love food and the best I could do so far is train at the studio for one week each day It’s horrible I feel like nothing will ever change and I won’t ever be able to feel pretty :/ sorry for the vent
I agree but she was fat, no apostrophes needed. Looks like she gains/loses weight evenly so she could look thin compared to someone the same weight. Weight looks different on everyone, sadly we all can’t carry weight well😮💨
@@DivestedFromBlackistann every person has different standards. you can't force love. if a guy like her at that weight, then great, if he doesn't he has the right to move on. Tired of guys being pressured to settle for any woman just not to hurt her feelings Imagine if bald fat guys were demanding women like them. Oh wait, it has happened and society called them incels and told them they aren't entitled to women. We should hold women to the same standard.
Only hurt when my doctor informed me I was too fat and needed to lose weight, cutting out sugar and gluten wasn’t enough and didn’t care if the gain was from medical situation. This girl is beautiful both ways but that chunk gives extra love.
Respectfully. Stop it. I have the same body as her and ONLY I KNOW WHAT I GO THROUGH EVERYDAY. I'm house captian at my school and the kids bodyshame me. They say how could I be fat despite being in such a position. Nothing. Absolutely nothing looks good on me. I just look horrible in everything. I don't even wanna go out of my house because I'm scared. Can't even live peacefully at my house because my family themselves says that I look ugly and fat. Plus your comment just doesn't help.
@Snowdrop Sooyaaa they aren't wrong though, there are different body standards around the world. Some people may think that's fat some might think it isn't. It really isn't, she doesn't even have rolls, she's just thick. Where you are people probably think being a size 0 is ideal, that doesn't make you fat. What makes you fat is if you're overweight for your height. Unless you're overweight I'd say don't worry about it, your body is beautiful.
@clouds9914 Not even that is true. So much goes into being fat it's not just height and weight. Your fat distribution, body type, muscles, fat %, age.
her weight would still be concern for a doctor as being unhealthy. food addiction and unhealthy eating needs to be included in the class of smoking and excessive drinking. All are unhealthy and will shorten your life. Otherwise you should be telling drunks and chain smokers they are beautiful because of their addictions and anyone who tells them to stop to save their health is a shamer......
@@xXxMrRazorxXx I am not saying she looks undesirable. She looks quite cute actually. But still men's requirements are really strict. Most of them wouldn't see her as fit. And your disagreeing means nothing to me.
Kolya is someone everybody should look up to no matter if you're fat, skill, short, tall, ugly or beautiful, You should always accept yourself as you are no matter what anyone thinks of you. Period.
If someone is fat they shouldn’t accept the way they are, they should work on themselves everyday to lose weight. Being stubborn and complacent isn’t virtuous
bad advice, there is a balance to everything. What if someone is intentional obese because of love of food? What you are recommending is down right unhealthy life-threatening, simply because you dont have the courage to tell someone to their face.
I relate so much when she looked at old pictures of herself and noticed the weight gain 🙁. It hurts in a completely different way to compare yourself to yourself, because all you think is "why did I get so fat, I have to lose weight to be as pretty as I used to be."
@@jamiestewart48 Glad to see that you completely ignored all the portrayed struggles that many overweight people face. Unlike a substance addiction, food is unavoidable. Coming from a never overweight “fit girl”. Compassion for others is free ;)
this was really inspirational, Kolya tried to improve his health, but he was never ashamed of his body, everyone should be like him, accepting others not because of their looks, but because of their soul, also everyone should improve their health, but nobody should be ashamed of how they look, for everyone can change their looks, but not many can change their personalities.
Yes! Is so wierd how some people think losing weigth is just about looks and also that is instantanous. If you decide to change your lifestyle to be helthier, you still need to accept is gonna take some time, and there is no shame on that
I like her friend Natasha instead of lying that she isn’t overweight she actually tells the truth and persuades her to lose weight for her health ❤️ sometimes it’s better to tell the truth 🥺 no matter if hurts
That's because Anya was the type of friend who doesn't lash out when told the truth. Some friends make their friends walk on eggshells around them. Especially if they have body insecurities or toxic relationship history|habits.
@WillNot Say most of the us population is unhealthily overweight so that's not even a good comparison. Americans think obesity is something to be promoted.
This is for all the girls out there; If your boyfriend dumps you because you gain weight... he is NOT worth it!! He never loved YOU he loved YOUR LOOK. Don't try to change for someone so shallow and pathetic Xx
so ig it works other way around as well, also id say its wrong, cuz i get a lil weight isnt much, but if it becomes unhealthy, or u developed a food addiction or smth, those have to be corrected, not accepted
@@dediwahyudi7678 you’re suppose to help them instead of just dumping them. Only if you do everything that you can and they still don’t change is when it’s justified
@@dediwahyudi7678 Would you lose love for your parents if they got fat? Or even your pet? If you lose love for someone because of a little weight gain, you never loved them in the first place. ( especially in this movie-she just put on a few pounds, she isnt obese or anything),
If I was there I would have told her to workout and not eat unhealthy but if she doesnt do it Then I will just leave as it is But reality is girls want looks not boys
of course she is, she's a mainstream actress. you ever seen a mainstream ugly/non traditionally beautiful actresses? especially from a country like russia
@@_marshaI_she set a record for most weight gained and lost by an actress in a film, so credit where it’s due, she went the extra mile. They could’ve maybe hired a fatter actress with a similarly pretty face, but still
@ednigma5 she doesn't condemn the aftermath, she condemns what reason she did it for. the results affected her well but that doesn't mean she did it for herself in the first place. why are you trying to invalidate her experience? was she supposed to thank the people who wanted her to change sole for visual reasons and not for her health?
@@fleeting188 what's the difference , you people are a disease. What ever reason she did it for , it was for the better , get off your high moral I'm better than you high horse and smell some roses
This woman is lucky to have a very supporting friend who understands and tried to help her. Even though her ex-boyfriend dumped her for her look, not because he loves her, is wrong, but sometimes, people need to see the truth to wake up to reality. So sad in a judgmental and high expectations world we live in.
id dump her too if all she did was eat and disrespect herself and the beautiful body she had. wouldnt want to date someone who has no selfrespect. if you call it "judgemental" and "high expectations" not wanting to watch someone ruin themselves then i dont know what to say, but at least her friend helped her through it to fix it.
@@fire4ev wouldn't your rather help then leave what her friend did was the right way he also didnt just sit and watch her ruin herself.. talk about hypocrisy and that guy literally just likes thin people not actually caring the friend did the right thing by helping her instead of leaving
@@anchill8894 Cant reason with little boys like them. Sure everyone can have their preferences and type. There’s nothing wrong with liking skinny girls but being in a relationship solely cause of their looks is immature and pathetic.
I think the best part of the whole video is when he says that " He always worked hard to improve his health but was never ashamed of his appearance." Just because you choose to diet, exercise, etc. does not mean that you don't love yourself.
This inspires me. I always feel down when I look at myself in the mirror and when I look at my stomach. This makes me feel like I shouldn’t care about what others think. I recently had been going outside my comfort zone and I’ve been feel a lot happier
So are you doing anything about it ? Loosing weight or anything? I just wonder cause I also want to loose weight and even trying to loose weight looks quite hard for me now because it's been a while that I'm failing continuously
Yes you absolutely shouldn't care what anyone thinks because your opinion is the only important and at the end of the day no one actually cares about what others do in their life as we are too focused on our own struggles. I recommend watching the whole movie because some parts in the video were a tiny bit inaccurate and it doesn't give you all the events in the movie because it is summarised but he still did a great job! This movie is truly inspiring as a Russian speaker I have watched this multiple times and for non Russian speakers recommend watching it with English subtitles. But you are absolutely beautiful no matter what size you are or how you look like and you shouldn't feel like you need to look like someone else to feel good about yourself. I have a bend back and a naturally bloated stomach so no matter how skinny I am I always have a bit of stomach coming out which never makes me feel good about myself but I'm just saying this because no one is perfect and I can relate.
@@conbro0985 Unfortunately, a lot of people will bully you for your appearance, just because you're offending them with your existence. I work as barista in local cafe chain and I had seen a lot of really nasty people screaming insults to my appearance and bullying other customers. And I'm forced to suck it up to not be fired.
My wife was 125 when we married. She is hypoglycemic (opposite of diabetic) and in a few years she got to 275. I still loved her, what was uglier, my attitudes towards women, or the extra flesh on her body. On her own, she figured out what and when to eat. It took her 15 years, but she's now 148 and a knock out. We've been married now for 37 years, I'm soo appreciative of her.
ive seen a few of these recaps involving weight lose and i thought this one was gunna do the toxic mentality, but instead it had a very great message at the end, judge people on their character, and not how they look
I was actually worried it was going to have a toxic message when I started reading the script. I was going to throw in a handful of sarcastic jokes to counteract it. But by the time I got to the end I thought "i'm gonna let this one fly as is". It's a nice film.
As someone that has struggled a lot with her weight, i can relate a lot to how she feels. My bestfriend kept looking at my stomach, told me i looked ‘big’, told me i should start exercising, told me i was ugly. Mind you, i was about 55kg and 162 cm, so i was normal, but that got me so self concious i would starve myself for up to 5 days, try to make myself throw up, only eating 120 calories a day, weighed myself every day and if i gaines even just a pound, would have a meltdown and ‘punish’ myself by not eating the next day. Weigh is just a sensitive topic, and for what reason? I wasn’t fat nor was i overweight, yet it still affected me so much. Now that im older, and about 58kg and 165cm, i have a lot healthier relationship with my body. Even if im no longer my lowest weight ever (47 kg which was classified underweight for my body type and height), i dont miss it. Yes being skinny would be nice, but for the cost of my happiness and my life? To anyone that relates to my story, please know you’re worth more than that. Don’t let another person drag you down, even if they’re your ‘bestfriend’
Your friend sounds like a douchè, and I feel you completely, I'm 165cm and 60kg. Sadly those people that calls me fat in my life are people I can't cut off (thanks mom thanks bro)
Kolya is a great role model. He follows modern ideas like accepting yourself for who you are and loving your body while also striving to become a healthier person.
their mutual fitness coach arrangement reminded me a bit too much of the good old ana buddies of tumblr i like to imagine that anya admitted to herself that she does have a problem and got help for her eating disorder. you can be physically recovered but you need to get to a good place mentally, too if you have an ed (even if you're unsure), please ask for help! your struggles are valid, no matter how much you weigh or how much more others seem to struggle. you deserve to get help ♡
I mean sorta... I cried today cause I couldn't fit my size 6 pants... I probably gained like 10 pounds... I need to lose a bit of weight (for reference I'm 5'0 and 130 pounds). I've never been a size 0, but gosh I got upset. A lot of people carry weight beautifully but it's hard not to be insecure no matter where you're from imo *I've been wearing sweats/skirts/stretchy pants, so I didn't even notice :'^0
I'm just gonna put this out there: people were freaking out about the pandemic which is all well and good but obesity was and is the real killer... And yet they still coming out with shit like Nutter Butter Peanut Butter Double Fudge-mallow Blast Birthday Cake Whipped Cream Oreos. Let's also put them on every end cap. 🤣🤦♀️
I absolutely understand the point of accepting yourself for who you are, & others for who they are but, just saying, there's nothing wrong with trying to improve wherever you might see room. Sweet movie & great recap.
Also nothing wrong with trying to impress a spouse either. It's why dating is nice, but relationships aren't. People get lazy and complacent. If I meet a slim and fit girl, it would be nice if she tries to maintain that. Similarly, women appreciate when men continue to wine and dine them after they settle. It's just showing your spouse you give a damn and aren't a selfish prick.
@@peachesandcream22 nope but im not the one forcing my preferences on others. I think both men and women have choices. alot of people here think men shouldnt have any say on if they date a fat girl otherwise they are phobic. most people in the globe have some form of standard. it seems the western world has really become fantasy land.
Thankyou Anya and Kolya. They're the actual body positivity person. My body is exactly just like Anya's before losing weight rn, and this inspires me a lot even though I don't have a boyfriend. Thankyou.
Moral of the story is: girls, lose weight, so that people might love you. Boys, be rude, and if you're the protagonist, get mad at the girl for not loving you, and don't lose weight, and she'll fall in love with you anyway.
You literally make my day better! My 13-year-old dog passed away on Tuesday at 11:15am, its been so painful and just balling out crying since his passing! Thank god for the great YT that makes people's day! Truly THANK YOU!! His name is Jake btw, he died due to weakness and old age! 🙏❤
...and yet it's okay for women to have standards of men's height, bank account and yes, weight. it is a FACT that society allows women to get away with this behaviour far more than men. women leaving men for losing their financial status is normal. i luv how hypocritical you feminists are...lol
so a man should be forced to stay with a woman he loses attraction for because of public opinion? Where have we heard that before? oh yeah, the early 1900s when women stayed in unhappy relationships to keep public status. save the bs. doesn't matter who or what. if someone isn't happy they have the right to leave
Don't know if “200 pounds” is considered fat in any way, shape or form after watching this recap. She literally looks like the average person and wouldn't be considered ‘fat’ in western society but since this looks like a Russian film I am guessing that's not their ideal body type... Anyways I loved the ending 😍 going to the realisation that inner beauty matters more than the physical outer appearance melted my heart.
Well, a 200 pounds person of her height would be considered fat in Russia. Meanwhile, her actual weight was 165 which is quite alright. The trick is that we all know the actress, and instant extra 20 kilos make a huge contrast. It just works
Honestly, this movie(recap cus idk where to find it) changed me so much… I’m so used to all the comments saying “your beautiful” or “everyone’s beautiful” and “what’s on the instead matters” that they don’t really change me or my view of my body. I was so insecure about my body (still kinda am but way way less then before) but when I found this it kinda inspired me, I’m so happy I found this recap! Thank you for doing this movie, it somehow changed me and my views to things-
There need to be much more movies like this cause the message is actually quite beautiful :) As being a chubby woman myself, I know all the struggles that come with it (especially in the love life area) SO well. But please, NEVER have the motiviation to lose weight in hopes that a guy will love you more like this. Cause such guys are true a-holes and really don't deserve you. Rather search yourself a guy like Kolya in this movie who is not only in love with your body but rather your character and personality😊😉 A very nice movie and also a great recap, Adam! Thank you very much for this!^^
This is literally what happened to me, except I went from 350lbs to 200lbs. Let me tell you, losing the weight is amazing but it doesn’t change your self confidence or magically give you a girlfriend lol…all that takes time in loving and accepting yourself flaws and all
aactually it does. you just havent reach the point you're satisfied with yet. there are people who go from 400 pounds to fitness gurus and i guarantee you nothing better than achieving a goal and seeing results. however, you have to stick with it. it's not about settling for flaws but about appreciating your progress
@@craigclermond8001 Why do you assume Philip wants to be a fitness guru?🤔 And you basically didn't read his comment properly. You CAN'T gain yourself confidence out of nowhere until you will start truly love yourself. You can be the most attractive person in the world and have tons of admirers but hate yourself, your body and always compare yourself to others.
@@peachesandcream22 basically youre dense or have mal intent. i never said philip wanted to be a fitness guru. I said people who work hard and see results tend to improve their confidence. This goes for all aspeects of life. Physical health, school, work and personal realtionship. If you study hard for an exam and get into your desired university it will make you feel good. if you just sit back and dont study then you get depressed when you dont get into your school of choice. Being lazy and stagnant increases depresion. So ill bet a 400lb philip sitting at home eating nachos waiting for others to accept him will be far more depressed than a 200 lb philip going to the gym often and working on himself.
I’ve lost 27 pounds after I realized that I’m on the track of being obese. If you are in a situation like this here are some tips: Find a calorie counter and a step tracker, try to walk 10,000 steps a day, drink 4 bottles of water a day, and the most important thing to to do is to stay positive. Watch influential weight loss videos, hang out with friend that don’t care about how you look.
Watch Dr. Eric Berg’s RUclips channel; in order to dip into your fat reserves, your insulin has to be at zero. Intermittent fasting and healthy keto WILL work. No snacking, sugar, or carbs.

@@saras.2173 Keto works only if you choose this lifestyle for the rest of your life. After losing weight, if you will eat any product outside of keto, you will quickly gain everything back. And many people don't have enough health and time to mantain such lifestyle.
I need Natasha and Kolya in my life. They're wholesome and caring to her. I'm not fat and it does make me wonder if guys just like me for my looks. Eventually, it might matter down the road if I get children or stop being able to workout.
Anya is beautiful just the way she is. She doesn't have to change a thing. The world could change its heart No scars to her beautiful She's a star and she's beautiful❤
This is literally my story. I mean just from the perspective of gaining weight and not about the relationship. It all started after the lockdown and I gained like 15 kgs and my clothes wouldn't fit and now I'm on the process of losing weight. Hopefully within 6 months I'll be back to my previous state but it's hard to get into the mentality of doing it and I've been struggling since a long time .
Yo will loss 15kg in 2 o 3 months max, you and everyone knows calories in and calories out. 1 hour workout a day is enough, eat healthier and that is it.
@@datura_boof And I wish I can lose 15 kgs. Seriously, why do you want to gain weight, I was very underweight till the age of 10, then I became overweight and now on the boundary of obese. I pretty liked being that slim, used to float while getting down stairs. Now I cant wear clothes for more than a year.
Same bro.. i gained almost 20 kg during lockdown.. but I started working out daily about 6 months ago and now I'm lighter and healthier than I was before lockdown, keep the grind going it will be worth it in the end
she's like 6 kilos heavier than me and yet she looks more beautiful. skinny or fat, she still looks stunning. also, it feels like the movie inspires me to continue my 2-service-of-rice-per-day routine and daily little lengthy walk exercise (walking from work)
I think she’s beautiful either way. If he truly loved her, he would have said she might want to lose weight gently. He wouldn’t have stopped loving her❤
I'm confused, the girl in the movie wasn't even fat like she was literally normal sized. The first shot of her I thought was like a flashback to when she was skinny but then it just kept going and everyone was treating her really weirdly, am I the only one confused about this?
As a person who lived in Moscow for a while, I can tell you that most women are skinny there and very particular about being fit. Most of my friends and roommates had flat tummies and a tiny waists. Heck...I think I only knew one woman who was partially overweight in my age group.
I think its because she used to be skinny that she got judgement when she gained weight. I can relate, i gained weight because of quarantine but im definitely not overweight, just squishier . But because my family was so used to me being tiny before , comments were definitely made smh
The average woman in the USA is fat. So it would look normal if someone is overweight if you live there. Many people have a hard time in our current food culture to stay at a healthy weight.
How anya became unattractive after gaining weight ? She is originally a beautiful girl, i can't imagine a girl like her being unattractive even if she is fat
So many comments from people saying " but she is so pretty before and after", or "she isn't that fat, she is still pretty" - the whole point of the movie is about her learning to accept her body and not need external validation. Her happiness should not be dependent on what other people think of her appearance so commenting on her looks either way is just a misunderstanding. It does not matter how she looks, it matters that she is happy. This is not a makeover movie where a girl changes her appearance and everything is better. It's a movie about self acceptance and growth.
Holy shit finally somebody gets it, everyone talking about her looks sound shallow as fuck and don’t help, what it feels like they’re really implying is “at least she wasn’t fat AND ugly”
@@noobtrader9973 That's not the point of the film. She gets the validation she thought she wanted and realised that it doesn't make her happy. She isn't happy becuase her ex gets back with her. Quite the opposite, It continues to make her miserable. She is happy at the end not because her ex thinks she is fit again, but because she feels good about herself. The whole point is that she learns not to need external validation from people like her toxic ex boyfriend.
"Why did Anya's father leave her?" Anya before he left: Flips him off when he bought a nice teddy bear. Anya after the reunion: Burns down the house in a towel LOL
Just crap made up by lazy people to avoid accountability. one of the things that resonated in this movie was the girl constantly ate a lot of junk. She didn't just get fat. Staying in shape requires discipline, effort, and focus. Making excuses is the easy way out. It's like sitting at home complaining you never get hired while never actively applying for a job. Your achievements are based on the work you put in.
I love the way you tell a story - I would much rather listen to your way of telling the movie than watch and try to keep up with the subtitles. Something so soothing about your voice.
ok i’m not usually the one to say stuff like this but tbh i don’t think “transforms into a beautiful girl” was the right word cuz she’s still literally gorgeous before and after like damn
This movie actually had Aleksandra Bortich the main actress gaining and losing 20kg and it was filming was split in 2 blocks May and June. After which she had to maintain a very strict diet losing weight. Also the stunts you saw in the scenes of her running out with a flaming towel and climbing from balcony to balcony was also done by the actress with no stunt backups. Amazing film!
amazing, thanks for your info, this make me want to see it even more..
Awesome but dangerous and unhealthy
thk you very much for the info! was wondering about the weight cause it looked way too real in terms of arms face and neck for special effects
Im not sure how ethical/healthy that is but you cant beat that kind of realism and understanding of the struggle by the actress! Props to her!
What about the scene where she face-planted on the treadmill (5:14)? That clip was BRUTAL 🤕

Kolya is the most genuinely kindhearted and wholesome character of this movie
his heart was bigger than everyone else's and having a big heart is honestly more valuable than having abs
he was also extremely dedicated
you are absolutely right👍

If you're overweight, don't lose weight for other people. Lose weight because it's healthier.
Great message💯💯

The amount of hatred directed towards fat people is just unbelievable. You would think that being fat, is a contagious disease you get by mingling and being "nice" to fatties. You would swear fat people are all monsters that steal and eat babies. Do they, these fat haters, share the same level of hatred towards other people also not having great wealth, like alcoholics or drug addicts?

@@marsevader dude stfu this op just said to be healthier and did not said anything about hating fat people... My dad is fat.. I am calling him fat cause he calls himself fat and that is causing him lot of money now just to stay alive... Being healthy is good... You gotta do exercise and stay fit... It's not about hating certain type of people it's about staying healthy and being confident with yourself... That's all.. If you are just confident and not healthy then it won't matter till you are in your 40s but your body would take a toll... Body positivity is a good thing and everyone should be proud of their own bodies but spreading hate about how unhealthy diet is good is wrong
I’m glad that this movie followed the story line of a girl who started out skinny but gained weight and showed the struggles of being treated differently from what they know as opposed to most story lines that follow a girl that was already overweight
That is so true
Not just that but they address that being around people who will judge you based on your weight is extremely toxic and isn't worth it, while most "losing weight" films just say "omg i'm so pretty life is so much better".

@@temmyetemm It is NOT toxic. It is very important to have somebody who will tell you that you are fat. Fat people are ill. As drug addicts. ;)

As a relatively healthy guy I’ve gotten a lot of looks of confusion when I go out with her but they don’t understand just how lucky I am.

Of.course look for professional help but i recommend going vegan. Follow a plant based diet will give you more nutrients and you will be able to develop muscle easily. I personally focus on cosuming enough plant based protein and i also avoid sugar, but i do other sweeteners like maple syrup and coconut sugar. Good luck with that, don't be afraid to eat a more wholesome diet instead of depraving your self. The vegan treats are amazing too so you wont miss out.
Nutrition is the key factor here, whoever eats healthy (avoiding processed sugar, flour, alcohol, sodas, and fries obviously), and trains a bit can get in shape pretty quick...

Honestly the actress is gorgeous, both in the ‘fat’ part and the ‘skinny’ part of the movie. It saddens me that real people have this image of themselves. I hope ppl who struggle with this stuff in real life find friends like Natasha and kolya to build them up, or find success in their personal journeys. My mom has suffered from this basically her whole life, she always thinks she’s fat no matter how skinny she is. She even did a week long fast where all she could consume was water, by the end she looked horrible. Please know that whatever u look like, u are beautiful, and nobody can take that away from u.
I’m in this situation I’m not really “fat” but I’m not “skinny” enaugh to be considered pretty or lookable I have a really great best friend who always supports me but whatever I do I never felt good in my body I can’t seem to find a way to lose weight I love food and the best I could do so far is train at the studio for one week each day It’s horrible I feel like nothing will ever change and I won’t ever be able to feel pretty :/ sorry for the vent
I agree but she was fat, no apostrophes needed. Looks like she gains/loses weight evenly so she could look thin compared to someone the same weight. Weight looks different on everyone, sadly we all can’t carry weight well😮💨
@@DivestedFromBlackistann every person has different standards. you can't force love. if a guy like her at that weight, then great, if he doesn't he has the right to move on. Tired of guys being pressured to settle for any woman just not to hurt her feelings
Imagine if bald fat guys were demanding women like them. Oh wait, it has happened and society called them incels and told them they aren't entitled to women. We should hold women to the same standard.
Beauty standards nowday are dangerous.
Only hurt when my doctor informed me I was too fat and needed to lose weight, cutting out sugar and gluten wasn’t enough and didn’t care if the gain was from medical situation. This girl is beautiful both ways but that chunk gives extra love.
I'll be honest, Anya wasn't really that fat to begin with. In fact, I liked her more when she was "chonky" compared to when she slimed down.
That's called "thick" where I come from☺️
Respectfully. Stop it. I have the same body as her and ONLY I KNOW WHAT I GO THROUGH EVERYDAY. I'm house captian at my school and the kids bodyshame me. They say how could I be fat despite being in such a position. Nothing. Absolutely nothing looks good on me. I just look horrible in everything. I don't even wanna go out of my house because I'm scared. Can't even live peacefully at my house because my family themselves says that I look ugly and fat. Plus your comment just doesn't help.
@Snowdrop Sooyaaa they aren't wrong though, there are different body standards around the world. Some people may think that's fat some might think it isn't. It really isn't, she doesn't even have rolls, she's just thick. Where you are people probably think being a size 0 is ideal, that doesn't make you fat. What makes you fat is if you're overweight for your height. Unless you're overweight I'd say don't worry about it, your body is beautiful.
Being from Europe.. an 80kg (175lbs) girl is a friggin' whale...
@clouds9914 Not even that is true. So much goes into being fat it's not just height and weight. Your fat distribution, body type, muscles, fat %, age.
The girl in her "fat" stage isn't even fat. Sure, a little squishy but still very pretty.
not pretty, absolutely gorgeous
her weight would still be concern for a doctor as being unhealthy. food addiction and unhealthy eating needs to be included in the class of smoking and excessive drinking. All are unhealthy and will shorten your life. Otherwise you should be telling drunks and chain smokers they are beautiful because of their addictions and anyone who tells them to stop to save their health is a shamer......

Her eating habit was a mess,but she surely was not obese,she was just fat,which is ok

If someone is fat they shouldn’t accept the way they are, they should work on themselves everyday to lose weight. Being stubborn and complacent isn’t virtuous
bad advice, there is a balance to everything. What if someone is intentional obese because of love of food? What you are recommending is down right unhealthy life-threatening, simply because you dont have the courage to tell someone to their face.
We all need a friend like Kolya.
I relate so much when she looked at old pictures of herself and noticed the weight gain 🙁. It hurts in a completely different way to compare yourself to yourself, because all you think is "why did I get so fat, I have to lose weight to be as pretty as I used to be."

Yes! Is so wierd how some people think losing weigth is just about looks and also that is instantanous. If you decide to change your lifestyle to be helthier, you still need to accept is gonna take some time, and there is no shame on that
So i accidentally posted this comment twice... But fuck it...
Minus the part about dating this toxic girl who doesnt appreciate him.
I like her friend Natasha instead of lying that she isn’t overweight she actually tells the truth and persuades her to lose weight for her health ❤️ sometimes it’s better to tell the truth 🥺 no matter if hurts
That's because Anya was the type of friend who doesn't lash out when told the truth. Some friends make their friends walk on eggshells around them. Especially if they have body insecurities or toxic relationship history|habits.

I think the best part of the whole video is when he says that " He always worked hard to improve his health but was never ashamed of his appearance." Just because you choose to diet, exercise, etc. does not mean that you don't love yourself.
On the contrary, dieting and exercising and being healthy is something you should do 'because' you love yourself.
This inspires me. I always feel down when I look at myself in the mirror and when I look at my stomach. This makes me feel like I shouldn’t care about what others think. I recently had been going outside my comfort zone and I’ve been feel a lot happier

@@vaishalikhari3291 Yes, I do little steps at a time. Don’t push yourself. Little things count
Yes you absolutely shouldn't care what anyone thinks because your opinion is the only important and at the end of the day no one actually cares about what others do in their life as we are too focused on our own struggles. I recommend watching the whole movie because some parts in the video were a tiny bit inaccurate and it doesn't give you all the events in the movie because it is summarised but he still did a great job! This movie is truly inspiring as a Russian speaker I have watched this multiple times and for non Russian speakers recommend watching it with English subtitles. But you are absolutely beautiful no matter what size you are or how you look like and you shouldn't feel like you need to look like someone else to feel good about yourself. I have a bend back and a naturally bloated stomach so no matter how skinny I am I always have a bit of stomach coming out which never makes me feel good about myself but I'm just saying this because no one is perfect and I can relate.
Most people don’t care about your weight anyway, They just acknowledge you exist and move on.

My wife was 125 when we married. She is hypoglycemic (opposite of diabetic) and in a few years she got to 275. I still loved her, what was uglier, my attitudes towards women, or the extra flesh on her body. On her own, she figured out what and when to eat. It took her 15 years, but she's now 148 and a knock out. We've been married now for 37 years, I'm soo appreciative of her.

I was actually worried it was going to have a toxic message when I started reading the script. I was going to throw in a handful of sarcastic jokes to counteract it. But by the time I got to the end I thought "i'm gonna let this one fly as is". It's a nice film.

As someone that has struggled a lot with her weight, i can relate a lot to how she feels. My bestfriend kept looking at my stomach, told me i looked ‘big’, told me i should start exercising, told me i was ugly. Mind you, i was about 55kg and 162 cm, so i was normal, but that got me so self concious i would starve myself for up to 5 days, try to make myself throw up, only eating 120 calories a day, weighed myself every day and if i gaines even just a pound, would have a meltdown and ‘punish’ myself by not eating the next day. Weigh is just a sensitive topic, and for what reason? I wasn’t fat nor was i overweight, yet it still affected me so much. Now that im older, and about 58kg and 165cm, i have a lot healthier relationship with my body. Even if im no longer my lowest weight ever (47 kg which was classified underweight for my body type and height), i dont miss it. Yes being skinny would be nice, but for the cost of my happiness and my life? To anyone that relates to my story, please know you’re worth more than that. Don’t let another person drag you down, even if they’re your ‘bestfriend’
I hope you're doing better now! no one deserves to go through that :((
Your friend sounds like a douchè, and I feel you completely, I'm 165cm and 60kg. Sadly those people that calls me fat in my life are people I can't cut off (thanks mom thanks bro)

I'm just gonna put this out there: people were freaking out about the pandemic which is all well and good but obesity was and is the real killer... And yet they still coming out with shit like Nutter Butter Peanut Butter Double Fudge-mallow Blast Birthday Cake Whipped Cream Oreos. Let's also put them on every end cap. 🤣🤦♀️
This is what real body positivity is

Moral of the story: never change your looks if you want someone to love you for who you really are
I absolutely understand the point of accepting yourself for who you are, & others for who they are but, just saying, there's nothing wrong with trying to improve wherever you might see room. Sweet movie & great recap.
Also nothing wrong with trying to impress a spouse either. It's why dating is nice, but relationships aren't. People get lazy and complacent. If I meet a slim and fit girl, it would be nice if she tries to maintain that. Similarly, women appreciate when men continue to wine and dine them after they settle. It's just showing your spouse you give a damn and aren't a selfish prick.
@@craigclermond8001 I wonder why do you assume everyone around the globe have the same preferences as you.
@@peachesandcream22 nope but im not the one forcing my preferences on others. I think both men and women have choices. alot of people here think men shouldnt have any say on if they date a fat girl otherwise they are phobic. most people in the globe have some form of standard. it seems the western world has really become fantasy land.
@@peachesandcream22Because the majority does ?
Thankyou Anya and Kolya. They're the actual body positivity person. My body is exactly just like Anya's before losing weight rn, and this inspires me a lot even though I don't have a boyfriend. Thankyou.
Moral of the story is: girls, lose weight, so that people might love you. Boys, be rude, and if you're the protagonist, get mad at the girl for not loving you, and don't lose weight, and she'll fall in love with you anyway.
And don't be like Nickocado Advocado and keep referring to it as just water weight.
@@David-ve5iq its just liquid weight
What its trying to tell you is love and take care of yourself even if others might not love you
👍
@@squarewaffles1934 judging by all the oily food he eats it could be.
I like that the actor really lost the weight for the role. No "fatsuits" or special effects. Makes the story hit home so much more.
wonder if she put it on first or just lost it dont see woman do that like men actors do.
You literally make my day better! My 13-year-old dog passed away on Tuesday at 11:15am, its been so painful and just balling out crying since his passing! Thank god for the great YT that makes people's day! Truly THANK YOU!! His name is Jake btw, he died due to weakness and old age! 🙏❤

*”True happiness lies in accepting as you are”*
That’s why I really like you other than recap channel cause of your inspiring quotes. 👍🏼
Liking someone for their appearance is just an attraction. True love means loving you for who you are.
That's not fat 😑 its just normal, in my opinion she is cute and gorgeous in both before and after. ❤️ She's just too cute ❤️😍
That man was lucky
A real man stays and walks you through the process of body positivity... Any man that leaves because you gained some weight isn't good enough for you.
Lmao
...and yet it's okay for women to have standards of men's height, bank account and yes, weight. it is a FACT that society allows women to get away with this behaviour far more than men. women leaving men for losing their financial status is normal. i luv how hypocritical you feminists are...lol
so a man should be forced to stay with a woman he loses attraction for because of public opinion? Where have we heard that before? oh yeah, the early 1900s when women stayed in unhappy relationships to keep public status. save the bs. doesn't matter who or what. if someone isn't happy they have the right to leave
^^anytime a woman starts off a rant with "a real man..." you know you're about to be inundated with female logic. lmao
a real woman stays despite being 3 inches taller than her ugly man
Don't know if “200 pounds” is considered fat in any way, shape or form after watching this recap. She literally looks like the average person and wouldn't be considered ‘fat’ in western society but since this looks like a Russian film I am guessing that's not their ideal body type... Anyways I loved the ending 😍 going to the realisation that inner beauty matters more than the physical outer appearance melted my heart.
She wasn’t actually 200 lbs tho she was about 165
Well, a 200 pounds person of her height would be considered fat in Russia. Meanwhile, her actual weight was 165 which is quite alright. The trick is that we all know the actress, and instant extra 20 kilos make a huge contrast. It just works
Honestly, this movie(recap cus idk where to find it) changed me so much… I’m so used to all the comments saying “your beautiful” or “everyone’s beautiful” and “what’s on the instead matters” that they don’t really change me or my view of my body. I was so insecure about my body (still kinda am but way way less then before) but when I found this it kinda inspired me, I’m so happy I found this recap! Thank you for doing this movie, it somehow changed me and my views to things-
There need to be much more movies like this cause the message is actually quite beautiful :) As being a chubby woman myself, I know all the struggles that come with it (especially in the love life area) SO well. But please, NEVER have the motiviation to lose weight in hopes that a guy will love you more like this. Cause such guys are true a-holes and really don't deserve you. Rather search yourself a guy like Kolya in this movie who is not only in love with your body but rather your character and personality😊😉
A very nice movie and also a great recap, Adam! Thank you very much for this!^^
Kolya deserves an award.. he accepts what is and strives to be better
Nah, he deserves someone educating him on how to not be an emotional punching bag for women.
5:14 had me dead😭
This is literally what happened to me, except I went from 350lbs to 200lbs. Let me tell you, losing the weight is amazing but it doesn’t change your self confidence or magically give you a girlfriend lol…all that takes time in loving and accepting yourself flaws and all
aactually it does. you just havent reach the point you're satisfied with yet. there are people who go from 400 pounds to fitness gurus and i guarantee you nothing better than achieving a goal and seeing results. however, you have to stick with it. it's not about settling for flaws but about appreciating your progress
@@craigclermond8001 Why do you assume Philip wants to be a fitness guru?🤔
And you basically didn't read his comment properly. You CAN'T gain yourself confidence out of nowhere until you will start truly love yourself. You can be the most attractive person in the world and have tons of admirers but hate yourself, your body and always compare yourself to others.
@@peachesandcream22 basically youre dense or have mal intent. i never said philip wanted to be a fitness guru.
I said people who work hard and see results tend to improve their confidence. This goes for all aspeects of life. Physical health, school, work and personal realtionship. If you study hard for an exam and get into your desired university it will make you feel good. if you just sit back and dont study then you get depressed when you dont get into your school of choice. Being lazy and stagnant increases depresion.
So ill bet a 400lb philip sitting at home eating nachos waiting for others to accept him will be far more depressed than a 200 lb philip going to the gym often and working on himself.
I think Anya is BEAUTIFUL either way. I would be proud to have her as my girlfriend.
Even is she has a couple pounds extra, she is absolutely gorgeous.
I’ve lost 27 pounds after I realized that I’m on the track of being obese. If you are in a situation like this here are some tips:
Find a calorie counter and a step tracker, try to walk 10,000 steps a day, drink 4 bottles of water a day, and the most important thing to to do is to stay positive. Watch influential weight loss videos, hang out with friend that don’t care about how you look.
Congrats! Good for you!
Watch Dr. Eric Berg’s RUclips channel; in order to dip into your fat reserves, your insulin has to be at zero. Intermittent fasting and healthy keto WILL work. No snacking, sugar, or carbs.
@@saras.2173 i am overweight due to PCOS and thyroid disorder. i am type 2 diabetic but ended up now with gastroparesis 4 to six small meals a day low fiber. i feel nauseated everyday and most my diet is a protein and carbs a lot only i can't have whole wheat/grains because of fiber content. so it's pasta,white bread,rice,saltines then each day have add some liquid diet like protein drinks nutrition drinks for extra calories needed for normal amount an adult woman should have. i used to weight more than i did some years ago, i' 5ft tall. i can't do mad workouts because of gastrparesis and also i have a back/sciatica disability from a laminectomy surgery to fix a large herniated disc. basically any walking i can get in. i have to be super careful with pills like IBP because i also have chronic gastritis. eating i have be careful also make sure food or drink won't give me bad heartburn. i had been diagnosed with GERD in my 20's. i take a pill for my glucose. i can't eat as much at meals like i used to and that had started before my gp diagnosis. my mom would be like why wasting food and i didn't realize i was gonna get so full so quick. the small meals though and those with Gp can have flareups in which eat the diet plan and get hungry pangs and even get dizzy because digestion rate changes. i have had this a year in December. i have trouble sticking to all of it though because i also have adhd and sensory processing disorder and i am distracted easily and take me to long to read every friggin label and i can't drive so usually i am on my mom's time if she need to leave when she says i have to rush. my dr is well aware of this and only told do what i can. i even let dietician know that i wasn't going for follow ups anymore because i am having lot of issues.
Be on keto if you or anyone what’s to be skinny I have to be on keto cus of my seizures but it’s not working
@@saras.2173 Keto works only if you choose this lifestyle for the rest of your life. After losing weight, if you will eat any product outside of keto, you will quickly gain everything back. And many people don't have enough health and time to mantain such lifestyle.
I felt her when the mom said that "she has wide bones and can't control it" That doesn't make us happier, that just makes us feel worse
when i was young it was a person is just big bone.
“.. but she doesn’t want to get better, she just wants to cry” i felt that 😭
Natasha and Dimus are the real MVPs
I need Natasha and Kolya in my life. They're wholesome and caring to her. I'm not fat and it does make me wonder if guys just like me for my looks. Eventually, it might matter down the road if I get children or stop being able to workout.
This has been the most moral filled film this channel has done, I love it
It's actually very positive yeah!
Anya is beautiful just the way she is.
She doesn't have to change a thing.
The world could change its heart
No scars to her beautiful
She's a star and she's beautiful❤
No she needs to change because we men don't like chubby girls
@@lzbhcvm6747 why do men say this like all of them need to be attractive to you personally.
This is literally my story. I mean just from the perspective of gaining weight and not about the relationship. It all started after the lockdown and I gained like 15 kgs and my clothes wouldn't fit and now I'm on the process of losing weight. Hopefully within 6 months I'll be back to my previous state but it's hard to get into the mentality of doing it and I've been struggling since a long time .
Lucky you're a boy! Also good luck on your journey to lose weight. I wish I could gain 15 kilos :(
Yo will loss 15kg in 2 o 3 months max, you and everyone knows calories in and calories out. 1 hour workout a day is enough, eat healthier and that is it.
@@datura_boof And I wish I can lose 15 kgs. Seriously, why do you want to gain weight, I was very underweight till the age of 10, then I became overweight and now on the boundary of obese. I pretty liked being that slim, used to float while getting down stairs. Now I cant wear clothes for more than a year.
@@datura_boof Even though I know you want to build muscles, I would still prefer being slim than building it.
Same bro.. i gained almost 20 kg during lockdown.. but I started working out daily about 6 months ago and now I'm lighter and healthier than I was before lockdown, keep the grind going it will be worth it in the end
We all want friends like Kolya. The ones you keep for life due to their unwavering loyalty.
she's like 6 kilos heavier than me and yet she looks more beautiful. skinny or fat, she still looks stunning.
also, it feels like the movie inspires me to continue my 2-service-of-rice-per-day routine and daily little lengthy walk exercise (walking from work)
I think she’s beautiful either way. If he truly loved her, he would have said she might want to lose weight gently. He wouldn’t have stopped loving her❤
With that logic, if she loved hım she would work on herself to stay pretty for hım instead of letting herself go.
I'm confused, the girl in the movie wasn't even fat like she was literally normal sized. The first shot of her I thought was like a flashback to when she was skinny but then it just kept going and everyone was treating her really weirdly, am I the only one confused about this?
no
I think the "fat" part about her is her their basically saying she lost her curves for other curves.
As a person who lived in Moscow for a while, I can tell you that most women are skinny there and very particular about being fit. Most of my friends and roommates had flat tummies and a tiny waists.
Heck...I think I only knew one woman who was partially overweight in my age group.
I think its because she used to be skinny that she got judgement when she gained weight.
I can relate, i gained weight because of quarantine but im definitely not overweight, just squishier . But because my family was so used to me being tiny before , comments were definitely made smh
The average woman in the USA is fat. So it would look normal if someone is overweight if you live there. Many people have a hard time in our current food culture to stay at a healthy weight.
Moral of the story: love yourself, no matter how different you are.
Except don’t be like Nicokado Avocado.
Savage!!!
💀😅
He's not fat!!! It's just water weight!!
💀
No matter who it is, bashing or ridiculing others is never cool.
How anya became unattractive after gaining weight ?
She is originally a beautiful girl, i can't imagine a girl like her being unattractive even if she is fat
So many comments from people saying " but she is so pretty before and after", or "she isn't that fat, she is still pretty" - the whole point of the movie is about her learning to accept her body and not need external validation. Her happiness should not be dependent on what other people think of her appearance so commenting on her looks either way is just a misunderstanding. It does not matter how she looks, it matters that she is happy.
This is not a makeover movie where a girl changes her appearance and everything is better. It's a movie about self acceptance and growth.
Holy shit finally somebody gets it, everyone talking about her looks sound shallow as fuck and don’t help, what it feels like they’re really implying is “at least she wasn’t fat AND ugly”
But she only got validation by sleeping with her ex again and realising shes fit again and he's ready to accept her back, bruh.
@@noobtrader9973 That's not the point of the film. She gets the validation she thought she wanted and realised that it doesn't make her happy. She isn't happy becuase her ex gets back with her. Quite the opposite, It continues to make her miserable. She is happy at the end not because her ex thinks she is fit again, but because she feels good about herself. The whole point is that she learns not to need external validation from people like her toxic ex boyfriend.
This lesson is so heartwarming. No matter what u look like, ur perfect just the way u are. It matters in the inside, not outside!
That girl is truly beautiful regardless of her weight.
The body positivity is beautiful ❤️ but the way. she fell on that treadmill got me in tears 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I feel like her right now. There's a noticeable change in my face and stomach when compared to 3 years ago. I want to be me again.
You should I think you buetiful
7:56 imma assume they meant “drops down ten kilos” not “drops down TO ten kilos” cuz she would be dead if she weighed that much
From someone who struggles with food, this video hits home
Such a wholesome movie! With a very important message too
Whattttt? Her body is beautiful! People come on this is a body of beauty!
This recap came at the right time when i wanna start my diet, and i too have a hard time with my body image :((( thanks for thisss
All that work and Koyla still got that guy’s sloppy seconds. 😂🤣
"Why did Anya's father leave her?"
Anya before he left: Flips him off when he bought a nice teddy bear.
Anya after the reunion: Burns down the house in a towel LOL
"200 Pounds Girl Dumped By Her Boyfriend, So She Transforms Herself Into Beautiful Girl" she was beautiful to begin with
That treadmill fall was hilarious😂😂
Moral of the story: don’t be ashamed of your body, because you are beautiful just the way you are ❤️
Just crap made up by lazy people to avoid accountability. one of the things that resonated in this movie was the girl constantly ate a lot of junk. She didn't just get fat. Staying in shape requires discipline, effort, and focus. Making excuses is the easy way out. It's like sitting at home complaining you never get hired while never actively applying for a job. Your achievements are based on the work you put in.
@@craigclermond8001 Maybe one day you will put off the pink glasses and you will see that reality is much more complicated than you imagine.
I love the way you tell a story - I would much rather listen to your way of telling the movie than watch and try to keep up with the subtitles. Something so soothing about your voice.
ok i’m not usually the one to say stuff like this but tbh i don’t think “transforms into a beautiful girl” was the right word cuz she’s still literally gorgeous before and after like damn
I watch more movies through mystery recap than I watch in real life
From where?
