God tempts me every day to be even worse

I thought it was 215

Really was not expecting so much controversy over Fern's weight, so I'll leave this comment up here indefinitely;

Fern is bigger looking than I am. I have skinny arms and legs and a skinny neck but just kind of a gut, and I still weigh almost what she does. She's thicker than me so I made her weigh more. Just seemed logical.

A whole lot of people have said they weigh about what she does, too, and also hover around her size and proportions.

It's obvious that some people truly have no idea what that much weight actually looks like on a person. Nobody likes to feel as though they're susceptible to media programming, but that's probably exactly the culprit here. Virtually ALL media exaggerates what fat looks like on someone.

Homer Simpson is also canonically 239, and Simpsons is constantly on about how HUGE AND FAT he is, but in real life he'd probably be at least 270 or more given his height and thickness. Peter Griffin (sorry for invoking any Family Guy here but it's convenient at the moment) is canonically 298 but would probably be 310 to 330 in reality, and that's a conservative estimate.

Not even going to start with the absurd underestimation of anime character weights.

All in all, mass media absurdly underestimates what everyone "should" weigh for how they look. Fern's weight is as realistic for her size and shape as I could get, and harping on it as "morbidly obese" is really peepeeish to all the people here who are also around her size and weight. I guarantee you they are fine, maybe even very active with very healthy eating habits. Others might not be, but that's because, surprise, every person has unique metabolism and health requirements.
