There is - at least one: The guy in the Heinlein story who saved his space station by pressing his ass against a leak. (He refers to it as "this broad, fat thing I'm sitting on.)
Also, Bujold has a fair bit of physical variation in her people; I can't think of anyone heavier offhand but I wouldn't be surprised if she's got one or more.
Spider Robinson has a fat time traveler, Mary Callahan.
However, that doesn't contradict your essential point; "I can think of one!" is nowhere near proportional representation.
