Her old weight was unhealthy, you can see how much she struggled with her own weight. Perhaps you don't have to be skinny to be beautiful, but let's appreciate her effort to lose weight!

You don't have to be skinny to be beautiful but you should be happy and feel great. I don't think she was ever happy with her weight being what it was and in her own words was "just used" to how things were and how people treated her.
As long as she's eating healthy and feeling great then I think this manga is doing fine showing that she decided to change how she looked. I don't like that she decided to change for a guy but realistically I think that's usually how it goes.
We need something we really want before we decide to change the things we're unhappy with because failing when we're already unhappy would only make things worse so people don't change easily.

bruh this man defo into chubby
and to everybody else commenting that "you don't have to be skinny to be beautiful", I agree with y'all to a certain extent. yes, people shouldn't judge you by your weight, and they shouldn't be allowed to. there are other things to a person that shows their own innate beauty. and in certain cases, weight gain is involuntary, maybe due to a health or mental condition.
however, what i want to put out there, is that in many asian countries, there are weight expectations levied on young girls since young, either due to societal beauty standards or general health standards. the diet of a each country also plays a key part into understanding why in some places, being overweight opens doors to potential bullying and missed opportunities. i live in Singapore, and while the judgement isn't as loud as say in Japan, there still is an underlying guilt that you aren't hitting societal standards of beauty. over here, a slim figure, c cup breasts, long wavy hair, a small nose and pale skin, and if you don't have that, sometimes environmental pressure comes back at you, and there are consequences to being overweight.
while the weight loss rate in this story is as dangerous as it is unbelievable (kiss him not me style of crazy dangerous and unbelievable), appropriate cultural context needs to be applied to understand why this exaggerated weight loss story was written the way it was.
(edit: would like to add that I'm speaking from experience! Currently at 77kg after gaining a good 12kg in a year due to lockdown. I've been overweight for as long as I could remember, I was constantly bullied in primary and secondary school, and only recently have I been dieting. One meal a day and no more, and no sugar. I feel really lethargic all the time because I've had a reliance on sugar to get my energy at work, and the only meal I eat is dinner. This began because I've felt so fat amongst everyone, and its starting to get kind of unhealthy. Anyways, I wanted to put that in to show that I do have experiwnce with the judgement of society regarding my weight.)
