To Smileywitch,
hi,
technically speaking, what you need to do is figure out your Body Mass Index, if you are on the obese side, they you know you shouldnt apply because truth be told, they want people whose height is proporttionate to their weight. they do state a bmi range that you have to fall into (after you get selected and are sent the medical forms).
I believe its something like this, (will check and let you know for sure):
BMI Categories:
- Normal weight = 18.5-24.9
- Overweight = 25-29.9
- Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater
now, personally speaking, you are a woman, a woman should never call herself fat, there is no such thing, there is only "curvier than all those skinny ones in the mags". Im not what you would call a skinny person, neither am I lean, i like to think of myself as having all the right curves in all the right places. and i got through.
find out your weight, heres a site that can help you figure out your BMI:

You have to be self confident if you want to make it through.
Lots of luck!
