I saw this in an online Survey I was taking this morning. I liked the message so much that I looked around to see if I could find it to share here. Well I did find it, so here it is:

Beautiful! thanks for sharing0

I'm sorry, but that video is ridiculous...0
-
This is awful.0

The message I took away was "ignore what you don't like, don't address problems".0

I think it's lovely as far as those kinds of ads go. Some women would find it inspiring.0
-
It's a lovely message. But for those of us that are trying to lose weight it kind of sucks
I do find it rather ironic that it's made by lean cuisine
Thanks for sharing op0 -
Does being healthy not matter? I'm not getting the message.0

Yeh I hear you but for me realising I had success in my life that I should be proud of became key to me losing. If I could achieve over there, no reason I couldn't over here. I just had to apply the same processes.0 -

Yea I understand that, and I'm not saying those who are overweight shouldn't have areas of their life that they are happy with, BUT, they also are pushing the weight doesn't matter agenda in the video, and that's just a rejection of reality.0 -

Well it's odd as @mrsfitzyv8 said that it's a weight loss ad but I kinda understand it in a reverse psychology way which I'm not sure I could get across well lol.

I'm not the target audience. And good thing, too, because I find it sentimental and cloying. Other people I know - ahem - might like it.
I'm cynical about these kinds of things. Nestle doesn't necessarily want you to feel good about yourself. Nestle wants you to buy more Lean Cuisine.0 -

And if body acceptance wasn't fashionable right now, they'd be calling everyone Fatty McFat Fatterson III. in order to make them buy their Lean Cuisine. Bleh.

Firstly, thank you for sharing
I must say, watching a video with the message, what you weigh physically doesn't matter! Why, who you are, what you've achieved and what you believe in matters (But buy our weight loss product because, well, it kinda does matter) is weird you have to admit?
It is Nestle after all. The company is known for it dubious (and the case of baby formula, downright shameful) marketing.

I like the ad and the sentiment, totally agree that womens' worth is not defined by the scale - to me, that's what this ad is addressing. However... come on lean cuisine. You market microwave meals that are 250-300 calories. You aren't about female empowerment. Know your lane. It's annoying when diet companies co-opt this messaging for marketing purposes.0

Agree. That's the only thing that bothers me.
I'm a-hem past the stage I need this type of message.

I dunno...I kinda there had been sone dudes in the commercial...sometimes I feel like literally everything weight loss is geared to women....as if somehow, the wish to be healthier is a feminine trait?0

That's not what I took away from it. I took it as don't let the number on the scale define you. That there is more to you than that number. I see it here all the time were people see the number on the scale and it effects how they feel about themselves. Feeling negative about yourself because of a number on a scale doesn't always result in a person making positive changes.
I know when I felt the worst about myself, that was when I had the most trouble losing weight and was gaining even though I wanted to lose. For me finding that something that made me proud of myself (even if I didn't like the number on the scale) was something I had to do before I was able to make the changes I needed to make to lose weight.

Oh, I completely agree that it is a strange marketing move for them.0 -

Yes. I started to look at weight loss as being about better health (no counting cals, just better choices) to then be better able to do those things I was really passionate about and along the way I became equally passionate about good health.0
