ALL OF ME follows a group of women in Austin, Texas who have been friends, and fat, for years. They call themselves the “girls.” Their bond goes deep and wide, literally and figuratively. They are smart, intuitive, complex, warm, and compelling in ways that fat women are rarely portrayed. They speak poignantly of a rich inner life that we never hear from anyone over 250 pounds. Once they were passionately involved in Size Acceptance and the BBW (Big Beautiful Women) social community. But now, one by one, they are choosing to have Lap Band or gastric bypass weight loss surgery. Losing weight is changing their lives in unexpected ways, forcing them to reckon with who they have been, who they are becoming and who loves them for precisely who they are.
