i don't know if you want to say that there is more support with being
fat (that would mean that fat people support better than thin people). if
someone loses weight gradually, there is plenty of time to adjust and, i
would guess, that change is so slow that such adjustments might go almost
unnoticed. i think when people who lose weight experience problems in their
singing that they attribute to that weight loss, is when they lose the weight
unhealthily. rapid weight loss will make most people weak and, in terms of
support, they might feel as if the chair had been pulled out from under them.
