thick and stocky is when they are healthy and built, not necessarily fat..they have a good body, just meat on their bones. fat and obese is unhealthy and basically huge.

Thick and stocky are euphemisms, just like saying a fat person is "husky" or "big-boned". Wouldn't you rather be called stocky than fat?
