A character that used to be fat, but now isn't. Sometimes, part of a character's personality is driven by the fact that they were once overweight. Having a thin character revealed to have once been fat can tell you plenty about them. It can tell you that they have a past they aren't proud of and that they eventually decided to care enough about their health and appearance to do something about it. It also shows that the character developed the strength and willpower to take control of their life and get what they want, that they have self-discipline and motivation. Be that as it may, a formerly fat background is not always all sunshine and rainbows. It can also imply a lot of self-loathing and damaged self-esteem, too. Many times, their slim-down can be a symptom of a desperate need to be accepted by society and an unhealthy dependence on what others think of them. The positive and negative attitudes are not mutually exclusive either, leading to many Formerly Fat individuals having complicated self-images. Frequently an Informed Attribute, especially with live-action: the character will be played by an actor who's always been average-weight, and there will be no flashbacks to the period when the character was heavier. Whenever a celebrity loses weight, expect a discussion over whether they looked better before or after, with plenty of size-shaming getting tossed in both directions. For the inverse of this trope, see Formerly Fit. Can overlap with She Is All Grown Up if the character was fat when a child but lost weight when entering adulthood. |

Mycroft Holmes in Sherlock. In this case, it's a Mythology Gag—although the Sherlock incarnation is played by the normally-built Mark Gatiss, Mycroft was morbidly obese in the original stories, and Sherlock frequently pokes fun at him for supposedly "gaining" weight again. | |

A villainous example occurs in the second season finale of Megas XLR: Coop travels to an Alternate Universe/Bad Future where his Blood Knight tendencies got so bad that his Alternate Self made a Heel–Face Turn, laid waste to the world, made an enemy out of his best friend, took over what was left of Earth, and apparently decided to start working out. Coop, being Fat and Proud and with a tendency to have Skewed Priorities, was most offended by the last one. | |

The male protagonist of Masamune-kun's Revenge was once mocked and nicknamed "Piggy" for his weight by the girl he confessed to.

An episode of House has a patient who was formerly morbidly obese and had become a highly successful personal trainer. It turned out that she had had gastric bypass surgery, rather than "losing it the old-fashioned way." It also turned out that her weight was a result of her self-medicating her genetic disorder with fatty foods. Reversing the surgery and returning to her old lifestyle would have cured her, but she opts for a lifetime of medication instead. | |

Cheers: Woody. One episode has a former girlfriend (also Formerly Fat) from home showing up to visit. They begin to binge eat to repress their sexual attraction to each other, but once they figure it out (and sleep together), they go back to eating normally. Rebecca used to be the "Fattest Girl in High School", which is another point of contention with her more successful sister Susan. She also implies that she got so overweight she was outright forbidden from riding her favourite pony anymore (and that it was sneaking food to feed the pony that helped lead to her weight problem). She's still very sensitive about this. |

During her days as a wrestler, Bull Nakano followed the same diet that sumo wrestlers do and sported a very stout physique. Around the turn of the century, she retired, switched over to golf, lost a lot of weight, and turned out to be very pretty underneath Bull Nakano's punk-inspired outfit and hairstyle. She tried to put the weight back on for a pro wrestling return, failed, then resurfaced in RISE a manager hoping to take a new Gokumon-to made up of gaijin back to Japan. | |

The page quote comes from the season 6 premiere of Parks and Recreation, in which Andy explains to Ben the reason behind his sudden weight loss. In real life, it was because Andy's actor, Chris Pratt, had lost 60 poundsnote which took him six months to do, in sharp contrast to the one month Andy lost his weight in in preparation to play Star-Lord in Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) (to be fair, cutting out beer was one of the many things Pratt did to lose weight). | |

Joan Cusack's character in In & Out is stated to have lost a ton of weight before the movie started. Former student turned Oscar-winning mega-star Cameron Drake says that he had a huge crush on her when she was morbidly obese and doesn't find her as attractive now that she's lost the weight, though he supports her. The end credits start to roll over the sight of the two of them cuddling in the audience at a wedding, as Cameron hand-feeds her a large bag of cheese puffs, with her clearly intending to fatten up again. | |

The Batman: Arkham Series version of Amanda Waller fluctuated a great deal, as Origins and Blackgate used a design inspired by the New 52 version, Batman: Assault on Arkham used a more traditional design for her and thus Waller was obese—and Underworld has DLC that took place after and yet reused the Origins design, so Waller lost the weight she'd gained. | |

Manga Room: In this story, Runa was bullied by Minami during their high school days because of her chubby appearance, though she started losing her weight after graduating from high school. Because of her different appearance, nobody had no idea it was her during the high school reunion party until Minami recognized her. | |

Isami Aldini of Food Wars! used to zigzag between this and Formerly Fit, slimming down during summer and gaining his weight back during autumn. However, by his second year at Tootsuki the pressure is so high, he remains slim for the entire year. The Distant Epilogue implies this was permanent. | |

On an episode of The Big Bang Theory, Penny bribes Howard into helping her plan a birthday party for Leonard by promising he can pick up her friends, one of whom is a "former fat girl with low self-esteem." Raj once claimed to have been fat as a child to garner sympathy from the others. When Leonard says that he's seen old photos of Raj, he confesses that he was actually "svelte like a gazelle." On two different occasions, Raj's parents set him up with a girl from his childhood who used to be fat, but now She Is All Grown Up. |

Going back for a teacher's funeral, he was hoping to rub it in their faces that he had now lost weight and was the photographer for a successful fashion magazine. Instead, they end up teasing him for now being bald. | |

But, once he finds out that Brenda Bradford (who was once his classmate and his childhood crush, but is now the inventor of the cybernetics he is trying to abuse) found him much more attractive before he lost the weight, he gleefully cheers at the prospect of being able to indulge his sweet tooth and fatten up again. | |

Persona 2: Innocent Sin reveals this to the be past of Eikichi Mishina, who completely changed his image after frequent bullying culminated in a thug pulling his pants down in front of the girl he liked. He is now extremely attractive and popular and nobody at his current school realizes his past. Done across games - Miyabi Hanakouji appears fat in Innocent Sin but is thin in Eternal Punishment. It's not a straight example of this trope though - Miyabi gained the weight before Innocent began due to eating Comfort Food for the incident which inspired Eikichi to lose his weight but remained slim throughout the time of Punishment. |

Late in ECW's lifespan, Brian Heffron, better known as The Blue Meanie, lost over 100 lbs and obtained porn star Jasmine St. Claire as a valet. Of course, he also became a heel who looked down on the audience for staying fat instead of losing weight and hooking up with a porn star like he did. He'd eventually gain all his weight back. | |

Frédéric Molas, a.k.a. the Joueur du Grenier, lost a lot of weight for real between 2012 and 2014 (around 50kg according to him), which is reflected In-Universe. The second RPG episode (made in 2014) notably lampshades this when a flashback from the first RPG episode (made in 2011) pops up and a bystander asks if this is supposed to be the same person. | |

In The Victors Project Abram Mills, Victor of the 69th Hunger Games, was a bullied fat kid who survived mainly due to generous sponsors (gamblers who'd bet on him at nearly 400-1 odds and stood to rake in huge payoffs if he won) and knowledge of how to find moisture in the desert. After the Games, he's so sick of pundits mocking his obesity that he spends the next several months vigorously lifting weights, to the point that by his victory tour he's one of the most muscular victors around. | |

Prompto Argentum from Final Fantasy XV is revealed in prequel/tie-in anime Brotherhood: Final Fantasy XV to have been formerly fat, becoming motivated to lose weight to work up the confidence to make friends with Prince Noctis. This is slightly touched upon throughout the game in side-conversations and personal quests, and Episode Prompto has some scenes somewhere between flashback and introspection that show his chubby young self (and a loading screen that appears early on to make sure the players know that's Prompto). | |

The TLC series My 600 Lb Life is a series about morbidly obese people weighing over 600+ pounds who realize their problem and go to Dr. Younan Nowzardian (aka Dr. Now) in Houston, Texas for help in getting their weight down with gastric sleeve surgery. While there are episodes that play it straight and the results are astounding, other episodes show the work was All for Nothing when the subject does little to change their lifestyle for the diet. | |

On The Cleveland Show, Cleveland feels unappreciated by Donna and winds up reconnecting with an old high school friend who used to have a crush on him. Donna is more amused than threatened until she meets old "Fatty Patty" and realizes she now looks like a supermodel. Unfortunately for Cleveland, though, Patty turns out to be a Stalker with a Test Tube; Donna eventually gets Patty to relent by convincing her to "stop thinking like a fat girl" and realize she could get a better man for real. (Yeah, Donna isn't very nice in this episode.) | |

Sailor Moon examples: Usagi/Sailor Moon is slightly overweight at the start of the manga (Naoko's notes to the animators even say she should be drawn as chubby), but progressively slims down as the series goes on. Justified by her idolizing Sailor Venus, who spends a lot of time training herself and the others (in fact in the manga she was training them even before they met in person) and superheroing (it's actually shown they go around as a superhero duo, with Sailor Moon as a sidekick). Surprisingly enough, Minako Aino, alias Sailor V was revealed to be this in Codename: Sailor V: one of the plots of the Dark Agency involved getting people fat to lure them into energy-draining pods with the excuse of making them slim down, and Minako was one of those who fell for it. Thankfully, Artemis noticed before it got out of control and got her to exercise... Also taking advantage of the situation and her Hot-Blooded personality to make her put up some muscles without her noticing. |

Persona: Persona 2: Innocent Sin reveals this to the be past of Eikichi Mishina, who completely changed his image after frequent bullying culminated in a thug pulling his pants down in front of the girl he liked. He is now extremely attractive and popular and nobody at his current school realizes his past. Done across games - Miyabi Hanakouji appears fat in Innocent Sin but is thin in Eternal Punishment. It's not a straight example of this trope though - Miyabi gained the weight before Innocent began due to eating Comfort Food for the incident which inspired Eikichi to lose his weight but remained slim throughout the time of Punishment. In Persona 4, Ai Ebihara, the Moon Social Link. Excessive bullying and a sudden upgrade in her family's wealth led her to shed all of it in an effort to abandon her past life. |

Root Letter: In Jun Omori's high-school days, he was called Fatty, and was indeed obese. Then he got inspired to change for the sake of his dream job as a cake shop owner (because he believed no one would wanna buy from a fat cake shop owner as it implies lack of self-control), so he entered an exercise program and became a fit, handsome adult. Max, who is looking for him, initially misses him completely because he spends time looking for a fat man, not realizing the possibility that he is this until he sees a picture of him in a brochure for the exercise program. | |

In Get Smart, during the flight to Russia, Smart proudly shows an old picture of himself to Agent 99, wherein he weighs much, much more than he does at the time. In fact, when speaking to the Chief, earlier we see a Flashback Cut wherein he exercises rigorously so he can have the proper shape to be a CONTROL employee. In return for Smart showing his photo, 99 produces a photo showing her Magic Plastic Surgery. Later in the film, Max even has a nightmare about regressing back to his obese self while in prison. | |

Etra-chan saw it!: Yuzuriha was chubby in high school, and she was made fun of by other students. She lost weight and became a successful celebrity years later. Only one person, Yuri, was supportive of her. Yuri was also chubby back in middle school, but she started losing weight before entering high school, because of this, she decided to motivate and help Yuzuriha to lose her weight. Yuzuriha had to deal with Azami making cutting remarks and being a Jerkass toward her because her daughter-in-law had gained a lot of weight during her pregnancy. Yuri was fat and didn't wear makeup. She lost weight and had a makeover for her wedding making her beautiful. Yuri started working out to lose her weight after she was being made fun of by Akane for being chubby in an attempt to make Kuroki break up with her and date Akane instead. Hiiragi in one story was both fat and an unrepentant Big Eater with a bad habit of stealing food from his older brother Tokusa and his wife Yuzuriha, even though they had their own separate kitchen and fridge upstairs from the rest of the family. This didn't change no matter how much Tokusa yelled at him, and their parents were no help. Then one day Hiiragi went too far by eating an entire birthday cake Yuzuriha had baked for her friend Tsutsuji's son. Yuzuriha responded by pranking him into eating food that she claimed had a cockroach in it. In reality, there was no cockroach, it was just prawn tails, but she didn't tell him that until 4 months later after he'd lost his gluttonous appetite and shed 38 pounds from the trauma of the incident. Naturally he was angry, but he forgave her after becoming skinny finally led to him getting a girlfriend. Azami lost a lot of weight because she was working non-stop to pay the compensation for cheating on her ex-husband Katsura with another man. Akane and Azami decide to improve themselves after apologizing to their cousin Yuri for everything they did to her, they eventually lost their weight as well and are able to move on with their lives. |

This is why he's reluctant to eat his share of the pancakes at Cafe Serizawa during their date. Kuroe convinces him to eat anyway, saying "whether you're a fatty or a beanpole...I don't care." This is a major factor in Arata wanting to continue dating her, as he felt he had to stay thin to maintain his "popular guy" image at school. | |
