I know what you mean Patsy, as people nowadays are obsessed with appearance and glamour and make nasty remarks about fatties. I used to subscribe to this view but my African husband cured me. In his culture, your looks are very much secondary to your personality and good qualities. It's very heartening to know, and any remarks about my fat bottom now wash over me. (Even my strict doctor sister is horrible about my weight, and keeps saying "You're obese!" as often as she can!)
