A Fat Rant carries considerable weight on YouTube

Other performers may try to reform America8217;s attitude toward fat, but Nash wants to reform fat people8217;s attitude toward themselves. 8220;We need to expand our souls,8221; says the personal organiser by profession. 8220;And I think there are a whole lot of fat people out there who can use a whole lot more self-confidence. Stop putting life on hold.8221;

8220;Don8217;t buy any more clothing in sizes that are too small8212;clothing that will 8216;motivate you to get slimmer,8217;8221; she chides in the video. 8220;And throw out the stuff that doesn8217;t fit anymore8230;,8221; Nash continues, colourfully.

Nash succeeds on the merits of the in-your-face persona she has developed. Doctors have called her 8220;moderately obese,8221; but at 224 pounds and 5-foot-8, she will tell you she is fat but couldn8217;t care less. Which is entirely the point of A Fat Rant.

The video is 8220;about convincing fat women that they8217;re good enough, right now, to look good, right now,8221; she says.

A Fat Rant was one of the most replied-to videos on YouTube last month. Nash has received over 2,500 mails, 20 of which were marriage proposals.
