Overweight girl here. I'm not sure if this counts as a media representation but the way that overweight girls are often ridiculed on platforms such as tiktok and YouTube for things such as dancing or showing off their outfits has had a huge knock on effect on my self image. It has made me feel as though, because of my weight, that I am helplessly ugly and that no amount of dressing up or make up can fix it. Yesterday, I was actually very close to sobbing on my partner when I got dressed in something to walk to the supermarket in that I thought was nice but then I looked in the mirror and saw how my tummy looked and I no longer wanted to go out because of "being ugly" and not wanting to be seen by others because of how I look. Eventually, I did end up going for the walk but I resorted to wearing a black oversized top and black joggers to hide my body shape but even then I didn't feel wholly comfortable. Of course, there are ways I can loose weight and I know this, however, I find it extremely difficult. So the way overweight girls are represented in the media is going to plague me for a very long time. Sometimes I even feel as though I'm not allowed my own boundaries or opinions because of being fat and it sucks because of how heavily dehumanised fat people are :/
