More importantly than "when" women get fat is that society is accepting obesity like never before. Now that Covid-19 has changed many people's lives, they have become more lazy and sedentary, working from home, having food delivered, and it shows when they go out!

If only that were true where I am from. Fat stigma here is still a daily occurence. The USA has so much more to offer when it comes to fat acceptance.
I have never been to the Netherlands, but have noticed in my travels to other parts of Europe, the only fat women seemed to be the tourists. Eating habits and culture are totally are different in the EU vs. the US. Also food is taxed more heavily in Europe, making it more costly.
If you came to America, you would be amazed how abundant and inexpensive food is, and probably would gain more weight than you wanted to. Plus the Euro is strong compared to the dollar, so you would absolutely be amazed how much food your money can buy.
American women can be fat nowadays with much better acceptance than ever before. Bullying is out of vogue, tolerance and acceptance is in, especially with Millennials and Generation Z.
