all----If

 you must speak of the person as being a large person the listener will know what you mean

Answer 2

"chubby" or "pleasingly plump".

Answer 3

If you are a medical doctor, you should have learned the medical terminology for unhealthy weight in med school.

If you are not a doctor, there is no need and no polite way for you to talk about other people's body fat.

Answer 6

Why do you need to label anyone?  Just call them by name, or if you don't know it... how about Sir, Miss or Ma'am.

  sunybuni,  he doesn't feel good about himself, so instead of him working on his own appearance or issues it makes him feel better to put another person down. 
  

Answer 7

So, I'm considered... round. I hate that I'm being classed into a "them" category. The offensive ones are: Large, Wide Load, Fatso, Porker, Thunder Thighs, Lazy A**, Portly, Rotund, Huge, Whale, Cow, Big Boned, Chunky, Fatties and Fat. The medical terms are acceptable because they are professional: Obese and Overweight however unless you're a medical professional you ought not use them. The ideas of embracing size such as Curvy, Goddess, Plus Sized, Thick can go out the window. I don't want to be a bigger gal (preferred term) but my genetics say otherwise.

Answer 8

Instead of using fat just say over weight

Answer 9

Chunky, comfortably mature in size, rubenesque...

Answer 10

plus size I guess
