I've seen several skinny umps not cover 2B in this sitch - it's not a fat problem it's a lazy problem. I've also seen several rather large fellas cover a lot of ground (and rapidly).

Size doesn't always play a roll in agility or "how far you move" - it's a matter of "want to" - some have it, some don't

And just for the record, not every one that is obese is a "victim" of gluttony. Many of them suffer from a medical condition. Also, a belly hanging over the belt (in and of itself) is not obesity. There is a large (pardon the pun) difference in over weight and obese.
