A healthy body and healthy mind are equally important. If you lose the first, well...the second doesn't do you much good, does it?
On the other hand, not all "fat chicks" are unhealthy. Some people are just built bigger, just as some are just built smaller. An obese person isn't healthy. But the size 10 or 12 girl who works out for 30 minutes a day three times a week, tries to drink water, and eat as well as a college student can is healthier than the skinny chick who won't eat and exercises too much.
