=> to accept yourself isn't as easy as you can think. It can take a lot of time & work to be able to do it. (it's why we see the girl runs and does sport during several days)
I don't think the message is : lose weight to be accepted by guys, girls. If it was that, we'll see the fat girl becomes thin. But here, the guys sees her differently....as a different person from what she was at the beginning (before she accepted herself as she is). It's why she turns into Ayu & she didn't slim down.
For me, this pv gets an international message too. The look of others on some people are formed by our societies (for example you never see fat people as model for a fashion magazine). The society want us to be as its wants, for example, thin. For me, Ayu denounce that. It's why she amplifies her acting at the end to look ridiculous...she wants us to laugh about that & wants us to stop to think that these things are the right thing to do or the most important things to do, to feel good about yourself. The first step is to accept yourself as you are & not to mould youself according to society's standarts.
Well, I don't know if what I wrote is really clear! Sorry >.<

This almost made me cry, you made an amazing interpretation of the PVs message and I'm taking it as my "headcanon".
Several of Ayu's song lyrics (and some of her PVs) have been about accepting yourself, gaining confidence, and going against stereotypes and strict societal roles so I definitely don't think that Ayu meant "fat people don't get their man!!1!" with this PV, more the opposite.
This is one of the best Ayu PVs ever, in my opinion, it truly conveys a message, fits with the song, and lifts my spirits.
