«Fico muito gorda assim?» is the fictional diary by Arabella Weir and Maria João Carvalho, published by Gradiva in paperback (172 pages, in Portuguese).
The book is presented as the diary of Jacqueline M. Pane, a woman in her thirties who considers herself ordinary and insecure and is convinced her life would be perfect if she had a different body. With humour, she narrates her insecurities about her physical appearance and documents how she perfects the art of feeling bad about every little detail of herself.
Work originally published in 1997 as «Does My Bum Look Big in This?»; this Portuguese edition from Gradiva appeared in 2000.
For those seeking a humorous and relatable read about female insecurities and aesthetic pressure.
