Fat Amy, the beloved character from Pitch Perfect, can teach us so much about how important it is to embrace yourself for who you are. Her outlandish-but-honest behavior makes her an admirable character in our books. Here are a list of reasons why Fat Amy is the ultimate role model:
1. She embraces her love of food and is not afraid or embarrassed about her #1 hobby (eating).
2. She is innovative, getting her exercise from “horizontal running” – hey, whatever works.
3. Rather than being shy about her body image, she embraces her body and flaunts it on stage for the audience. She is confident in who she is and isn’t afraid to show her true self.
4. She is a strong, independent woman who doesn’t need no man to complete her.
5. She is proud of her identity and even decides to name herself “Fat Amy” instead of just “Amy” because she knows that people call her fat behind her back.
6. She’s honest.
I think we can all relate to Fat Amy in one way or another. Be on the lookout for Pitch Perfect 2 coming out some time next year!
