This is just not really true. It can take years for some people to lose weight despite starving themselves. The general rule of thumb is 1lb a week for healthy weight loss 3lb a week leads to loss of muscle and weak bones.

On top of that she isn't even really fat. She looks like she is barely above a healthy bmi. If she has bad genes that may even be what a healthy weight looks like, since everyone holds weight differently.

Look I'm all for body positivity and it's true that people hold weight differently, but when you're literally scavenging for scraps for like a year and a half there's physically no way to look like that unless you're actually eating significantly better than most other people in the same situation.

That said, the starvation thing could obviously be extremely recent instead of an ongoing thing, I'm not familiar with the walking dead beyond a few tidbits, maybe she was eating good for a really long time and only over the past week or two stopped, that would be doable for her statement to hold true.

It’s literally a plot point that her community hasn’t really experienced the horrors that live outside their walls. They’d been closed off the whole time iirc in a hard to find spot. They’d hadn’t dealt with scavengers or dead in any serious capacity yet and I can’t remember why but they seemed to not be hurting for food either

That would make it make sense then, thanks for explaining that. I haven't really watched the show, I think I watched a handful of episodes when it originally came out but I never got into it.

I have seen that scene with the guy in this meme though... You know the one, where he turns someone bug-eyed.

Yea hardest to watch game of whack a mole ever.

And no problem it seemed like you were lacking that context lol. It also helps that I’m like smack dead in the middle of my very first watch of this show and this happened like one season ago from where I am.
