Chubby Chasers

   

About the show

Chubby Chasers explores a world where, when it comes to the female shape, big is beautiful, but bigger is even better. In Chubby Chasers, we visit a parallel universe on our own doorstep where fat isn't just acceptable, it's desirable – a place where you really can have your cake and eat it too. At a time when most Western cultures are obsessed with slim bodies, this documentary hears from the women who actively celebrate their ample curves and talks to the men who can't get enough of big women. From Big Girls Parties and Belly Babe Models to Satin Sensations in a size 42, Britain’s big, beautiful women are out and proud and it's getting easier every day for them to be that way. They're throwing out the tent dresses and flaunting what they've got. And the guys certainly aren't complaining. Chubby Chasers examines the whole phenomenon of chubby chasing, entering their world, going to their parties and specialist clubs and revealing their on-line activities.

    The question should be - why is it that anorexics and bulimics not only have the calorie intake addressed but also the mental illness side of things and yet for overweight people its only the calories that people focus on ? Surely no one actually thinks there is NO mental issue with ' big ' people - how can it not be looked at as an eating disorder because that's what it is . Address the mental issue same as for anorexics an then retrain/ educate re the food. Even an obese child must have a mental issue of sorts if they never feel full?

      It's not what you eat but more like :what's eating you?

      I agree wholeheartedly. And I am not a small girl (80kgs, 5'8"). I overeat as an emotional response to situations. Chronic overeating most definitely has a mental/ emotional cause (in my experience). Yay for you for pointing it out!

    I have watched this show and read some comments. Shame on a lot of you negative people. I too am a BBW, I have tried to lose some weight for health reasons but it is a long road. And don't try, to think that I also don't get out and about cos I do. I am a single mother who works all day on mt feet as a nurse and when my pager goes off, I can jump on a fire truck and run around with a fire hose as I am a volunteer firefighter (and believe me that is hard work.) I was in awe of this show, esp when they showed that girl with the trachy but that is extreme and if someone can be adored no matter what, well I think that is totally awesome. To each his own, if you don't like it, well you don't. This was only a show which expressed the views of some women who found it empowering to be accepted for who they are.

    I haven't seen the show yet, but I am a big girl, mayb not as big as these ladies. I have tried almost everything to lose weight including surgery with PT sessions, and two years later nothing has changed. So some people just can't lose the weight no matter how hard they try!!! So don't judge

      I have been up and down most of my adult life with weight. I would get to an ideal weight, then I would start to overeat again. I was in denial that the weight would creep back on, but it did. My weight gain was my fault. Two years ago i was going to the gym everyday, and eating 1200 to 1500 calories a day. I lost 30 pounds. Then I decided to treat myself to unhealthy food every day. I just got lazy and started eating fast food again. The weight I had lost crept back on. (MY fault). I have been working out now again for the past 5 months and eating 1200 to 1800 calories a day. (I count my calories every single day and I eat healthy)I have lost over 60 pounds so far and it just keeps coming off. I treat myself to a piece of chocolate or an ice cream bar or a hamburger every couple weeks to once a month, that way I still can have those things without losing control. It is a mind thing. Only you can control what goes into your mouth. There is no excuse for not changing how you eat. Also, cut out the soda and juice as well. Water is the only thing I drink.I had a soda for the first time in 5 months the other day. I took one drink and threw the rest away. If you do what i do, your cravings for unhealthy foods and drinks will end. It's a struggle, but weight loss is possible if you put your mind to it.

      ha ha - tried everything? yeah right. Have you tried eating salad....in normal portions? Have you tried not eating as much. One thing obese people have in large quantities (besides lard) is denial.

      have you tried exercising more? I have never heard of a genuine case of someone trying EVERYTHING and not being able to lose ANY weight, you must be exaggerating or maybe are not trying as hard as you think you are. There is nothing wrong with you being happy with your shape and size as long as you are healthy.

    Um, Anita is right. The women on those show are at a seriously life-threatening weight. It's not, "hey I'm bigger but people should accept me", it's "you're going to ***ing die if you don't something about your weight". In certain scenes, the women could barely even walk. We are not referring to "love". Love is irrelevant. Yes, people should be "loved" no matter what but they should definitely not be encouraged to be at that size. There is a huge difference between fat and morbidly obese. And there's a reason it is called "morbidly". It's not there for dramatic effect. One more thing; a woman featured on the show kept reiterating the fact that she has/will be losing weight( the one wearing the oesophagus tube). Evidently she has incurred some sort of health problems and is FORCED to lose weight and yet her partner claims, despite his attraction for very large women, that he will still love her and want to be with her. That is love. Not these other guys who clearly see them as sexual objects and encouraging to gain weight despite the obvious health implications. I wonder what people would say if they released a series about men who are sexually attracted to anorexics? Same deal.

    excuse me anita i dont think its about the health issues it is about people being loved no matter what shape or size they are, regardless of your size you should be loved, accepted why should these women and men wait till they are within a healthy weight range to be loved? good on them for doing the things that make them happy.

      Ugh... It's not at all about 'love' the whole time these guys are saying yeah I love you but... you're not going to get MUCH skinnier are you??? Even though it's killing you and you need a tube sticking out of your neck to breathe

    I watched this show with disgust. Not because I have a problem with curvy women, but think this is pushing it too far. The whole "fat acceptance" movement is making it okay for people to be obese, not just obese, MORBIDLY obese. It's not about how they look, it's an issue of health! Obesity is our number one killer these days, and shows like this are a bad example, leading women and men to believe it's fine to stuff your faces with food till you're morbidly obese and on your way to death. I think beauty comes in all shapes and sizes, from thin to curvy.. but the number one thing that is important is that you're HEALTHY!!! I also hate the double standard, that society thinks it's okay to tell a thin person "go eat a burger", but if you tell someone who's overweight to eat less, suddenly you're a terrible person!! People stop focusing on weight so much please and be healthy, we all need to give a good example to this and next generations. I feel like crying everytime I see a little child that is overweight, and I know it's the parents that are to blame.
