As I was reading this I was enjoying a nice mental image of "rescuing
the damsel in distress"... until I got to the part about "50 or 100
pounds overweight". Doh!

What's the problem? There are dozens of ways that still works. A six-foot
goddess could add a lot of weight, while still being quite the "damsel".
If you're 50 pounds overweight, you might have only been 50 or 100 pounds
below max weight in the first place (depending on height, 150 pounds could
be a weight still well within societal norms of beauty, and certainly
weights between 100 and 150 are). Or, to be quite frank about it, you might
find that a person can be plump and yet still quite the damsel.

Personally, I favor the "six foot goddess" scenario, but please feel free to
choose your own.
