Enya,

I know a couple of girls in that situation who are pretty overweight and single. And their families have advised them numerous times to lose weight. Often times, parents are aware of concerns in children's physical appearance. But there could be health problems (thyroid/hormonal problems) that are hindering weight loss. Maybe it's stress. I've heard that stress is the main cause for obesity in young adults. And some people are also naturally big-boned. They can lose weight.......but they'll never have that stick-thin/slim look because of their naturally broader bone structure.

I think it also has to do with kismat. I've seen women/men who are overweight.....and might not be considered attractive by many people..........BUT..........they're happily married. Everything is destined by Allah.
