Amalie Jennings, 30, knew all too well how cruel the world could be.

For most of her life, she struggled with self-hatred and feeling like an outsider because of her body.

But everything changed when she met a man named Sean.

”I have always been fat since I was two years old,” Amalie explained in 2019.

”My mum took me to the doctors because I was gaining a lot of weight. Since as long as I can remember,

I have been fat. And of course, that comes with a lot of bullying, a lot of picking on.

My oldest memory of bullying is in Kindergarten, when I was around four.

And all the kids picked on me for being fat.”

As Amalie grew older, the bullying only intensified.

”I gained even more weight, which meant I was picked on even more.

I started self-harming, and I got picked on again,” she said.

”I just had a really horrible self-image. I hated looking in the mirror.”

Shopping for clothes had been another source of pain. Amalie recalled how,

even as a little girl, she had to shop in the women’s department because children’s clothing didn’t fit her.

Amalie couldn’t wear the trendy clothes other kids her age wore. Instead,

she had to settle for adult clothing, which only added to her feelings of isolation.

Her feelings of isolation grew as she noticed the lack of representation for people

like her in books or media. And when overweight characters did appear, they were often portrayed as caricatures.
