Samwell Tarly

How *does* he stay so fat? I'm pretty sure that if I were on military food for months while undergoing physical training (no matter how bad I was at it), and then had to ride for days on end, and then had to walk all the way back again for several weeks through heavy snow eating only what I could carry, I'd shed more than a few pounds.

I reckon he has a Star Trek food replicator.

I wonder whether Sam has asthms that is triggered by warmth? But he doesn't have a problem with cold. (Like you and chainmailmaiden my asthma doesn't like cold.)

I also wonder whether he doesn't know the difference between muscle and fat? If he's converted a bit of fat into muscle, but it hasn't changed his overall size he might well think he is still all fat.

Since he is very conscious of his size he might well consider that he was fat even though he had actually lost weight.
