My Fat Squad is an advocacy group in Malaysia aimed to advocate for fat liberation while also creating a sense of community among fat people in Malaysia. It is the first fat liberation group in Malaysia.

In 2021, a group of six friends decided to form My Fat Squad. During the lockdown, due the the pandemic, they relied on each other for support as they had the common experience of being fat in Malaysia. They quickly realised how important it is to have the support of a community and decided on creating a group to extend this sense of community for other fat people in Malaysia.
