She's tired of having trouble finding clothes, being dumped on by skinny women, and ignored by men. As her frustration grows towards a breakdown, she wins a trip for three to a resort. She decides to unwind with her two best friends: uptight Stacey; and her ditzy, skinny cousin Mia. While there they meet several doctors from Nigeria, where beauty is judged by how big a woman is. Jazmin suddenly finds herself in a situation where she is the definition of beauty and her outlook on life begins to change. | |

Your Television Hates You | |
Phat Girlz / int_2479b6c0 | comment |
Your Television Hates You: Jazmin is having a bad case of depression due to her love life and her Weight Woe. She turns on the TV where she sees several weight-related programs: a cartoon with a depressed fat man being enticed into pigging out, an ad for a weight-loss clinic, an ad for an exercise program, and a talk show with a woman crying over her weight and her hopelessness in dieting. This leads to Jazmin from having a Heroic BSoD to a Freak Out. | |

Manic Pixie Dream Girl: Gender flipped. Dr. Tunde and Dr. Akibo are two Nigerian men that teach the plus-sized leads to embrace their bodies and sensuality. Even to start loving themselves and changing their outlook. | |
