Zaftig

\ZAHF-tig\ means
...........full bodied; well-proportioned; voluptuous
................(of a woman) having a pleasantly plump and sexually attractive figure

Zaftig is a borrowing from Yiddish, zaftik, which literally means "juicy".

Example1:
The zaftig and the zealot share with each other an excessive overabundance, but of the opposite kind, for while the fullness of one attracts, the fullness of the other repels.

Example2:
If only the advantages of being zaftig are known to the anorexics they would not be so fanatic about their dieting.
