I'm technically in the obese category myself, but I don't actually look it. I always think it's a great compliment when people say I don't look fat at all, even though I'm obese by the doctors' charts.

I think what InsaneShadow is trying to say is that she doesn't agree with the way fat sounds - it sounds ugly and unappealing, but she finds certain characters in this thread to look appealing! I think that's a very nice thing.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/fat?s=t Fat is a synonym for plump!

(Why is it a compliment? There's nothing wrong with being fat! Even most health issues associated with it are exaggerated and often more related to the poor quality of care given to fat people due to stigma, than being fat itself. I just mean - there's zero wrong with being fat! )

My being fat has led to diabetes and a hernia, as well as weak knees and a messed up ankle. There's nothing wrong with being healthy when you're heavier, but being genuinely fat is not something to encourage. It does lead to a lot of health issues and a lower quality of life when it restricts your ability to do things. I do enjoy being able to go on amusement park rides and fit in the rides and I would like to spend a couple of extra years alive in the presence of my loved ones. My weight make these difficult goals to achieve.

I'm generally quite content with my looks. I'm heavy, I look heavy, but visually my smile is much more important to me than the size of my gut. Still, I enjoy that people compliment my appearance as appearing healthier than I actually am.

However, this is going quite off topic, so I'll shut up for now.

"Waaarrh do I count? "



But aside from this guy who has a terribly bare character page at the moment (http://www.rprepository.com/c/arthfael)

I have a hefty half-dragon: http://www.rprepository.com/c/baldernock

Though I would love to have more pudgy chars, But I definitely don't need more characters!

A puffin bear... Can't say I've seem that before. Yup! It counts!

This little bee has some extra padding!

I know all art of Bird of Prey currently do not show her as her true self- however... Bird's body kinda of looks like This Gal's body type

Granted I don't consider this fat as I do consider it curvey

I have a character who I consider "big boned", "thick", or even "overweight." Depends on their height and bone structure.
I am creating their pages now. I can't say that I have any characters under 150 lbs.
