Synonyms for ‘Fat’ that aren’t Cringeworthy…?

However to balance things. Being fat is one thing but I know someone who is diabetic, very overweight in the tummy area ( central obesity ? Is that the term ?). but who takes no exercise, eats nothing but pies etc. and is therefore wilfully making himself more ill.

Anyway - back to the brief.

I’ve just consulted Merriam-Webster, and was surprised to see enbonpment mentioned (I’m sure I haven’t spelled that right )
I thought that it was another word for for cleavage I think that Lucca said something similar up thread.

Adipose was also mentioned.
I’ve seen the word before but wasn’t that sure what it meant.
Does it have negative connotations, does anyone know?

Bountiful is a nice one (not as in ate too many coconut chocolate bars )

I cross posted with you Lucca - my first line sounds bossy, but I was referring to me

Yes, I’ve known diabetics with terrible lifestyles. Including an alcoholic

I think I’ll skip past adipose. I’ve heard it mentioned positively in relation to bodily tissues as here, “Its main role is to store energy in the form of lipids, although it also cushions and insulates the body.”
Energy storage and cushioning both sound good, but it’s usually mentioned negatively when referring to obesity.
DH suggested we could use ‘rotund’ and then rushed out to take the dog for an extra walk as his hard hat is already dented.

Molly yes, I remember it (adipose) now as a biology type word.
Back to the drawing board…

Brown adipose tissue - helps to keep you warm

Bleurgh! Now I know why I can’t stand the warmer weather!

Just been reading a Ngaio Marsh book, published in 1938, in which a woman is described as 'a queenly woman', which seems to me to be a nice way of describing someone with a sizeable physical presence.
