Some acceptable phrases when referring to someone who is overweight that won't be seen as derogatory include "larger size," "plus-size," "bariatric friendly," "big/curvy/thick,” and “comfortable in a larger size.” People who are overweight should be treated with the same respect as anyone else, and referring to their weight in non-judgmental language can help ensure that. In some contexts, it may be helpful to address a person's weight without appearing to be judgmental. For instance, if clothing sizes aren’t available and you want someone to bring clothing items in larger sizes, you might suggest requesting garments appropriate for someone with a plus-size figure. Above all, remember that people should be respected whatever their current weight or level of fitness.
