Well far be it for me to condone fatness as nobody dislikes it more than I do, but since this thread is entitled On Topic Accuracy Thread, I will say that that is technically incorrect.
Morbid obesity is defined as BMI over 40 or over 100 lbs above ideal body weight. Her numbers fall about 20 lbs short of that making her severely obese , but not morbidly obese. Neither is very healthy , and despite the euphemistic acronym of BBW, efforts made to decrease that BMI into the 20s would be in her best interest.
