The fashionista, who calls herself ‘Ms Giggles’ and is on a mission to ‘redefine beauty’, explained that she loves herself and thinks she’s ‘cute’.
In the short clip, we saw the confident queen from New York, dressed in a white bikini, posing on the beach.
The self-proclaimed “fat babe” confidently walked towards the camera and turned around, giving her 94,200 followers a full view of her plus-size figure.
The brunette beauty then wrote: “Just a plus size girl who doesn’t hate herself and actually thinks she’s cute.”

Afterward, the content creator for the clip laughed and shook her breasts, adding, “What can I say, I think I’m pretty cute.”
Megan previously revealed that she no longer hates her body and instead thinks she’s “hot…really hot.”
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @heymsgiggleshas clearly caused quite a stir, as the video has already been viewed 41,800 times.
But social media users were divided over Megan’s self-love video.
While many were happy to praise the influencer and call her “beautiful,” the nasty trolls were not so positive.
Someone said: “And you are absolutely right. Your body in that bikini brings joy.”
Another added: “You are beautiful.”
A third commented: “You look amazing.”
While someone else wrote: “You are absolutely beautiful!!!”
But not everyone was equally friendly and there were many haters on the streets.
One user advised, “Look into bariatric surgery.”
Different Types of Weight Loss Surgery
Many overweight or obese people feel like they’ve exhausted all weight loss options and want to try something more drastic.
Weight loss surgery may be available through the NHS if they have a BMI over 40 and have a condition that may improve with weight loss, such as diabetes.
However, the availability of these procedures largely depends on where you live in the UK. People can also pay privately.
Weight loss surgery is a common and safe procedure. However, as with any surgery, there are risks, such as a blood clot, a band slipping out of place, a stomach infection, gallstones and excess skin from weight loss that in most cases are not removed by the NHS.
All of the following options reduce the space in the stomach, making a person feel fuller after eating less food. They lose weight as a result.
However, it is also necessary that they learn good eating habits and follow a healthy and balanced diet.
Gastric bypass
The stomach is split in two with a staple. The smaller part is connected to the intestines, effectively halving the space in the stomach.
The operation takes about two hours.
Gastric band
A band is tied around the top of the stomach and inflated to tighten it.
The operation takes three to four hours.
Gastric balloon
Patients swallow a deflated balloon attached to a tube.
The balloon is filled with water via the tube. This takes about 20 minutes and fills about two-thirds of the stomach space.
Sleeve gastrectomy
During surgery, approximately 80 percent of the stomach is removed, making it much smaller and shaped like a sleeve.
The operation takes between one and three hours.
A second claimed: “Wrong on every level.”
Someone else wrote rudely: “Yuck.”
I think I’m pretty cute

Meanwhile, one user wrote: “You’re the only one who thinks this is true unfortunately.”
At the same time, another shared: “You are beautiful but that swimsuit is not flattering.”
Megan then shared another video of herself posing in her two-piece outfit, confidently clapping back: “Flattering is a coded word meaning ‘thinner.’
“No, it doesn’t make me thinner, but it makes me feel cute. And that’s what matters.”
