It is really upto you.
For me, if I really don't like someone's appearance at all, then I find it hard to work with them especially this emotional and intimate work. (But being obese is not an issue for me.). But I have to like their face (for me) - I don't mind about anything else - tall/short/dark/light/bald etc.. but I have to like the face of the person. Otherwise, I am not working with them irrespective of how great they are. And it is something I can never overcome..
So if you think you cannot really connect with her due to her obesity, then maybe find someone else and you don't have to worry about blaming yourself for being prejudiced. Or if you think it will become acceptable to you in time, and you are willing to wait, then wait for sometime and see if you become comfortable. Most of us stop noticiing the other person's looks after a few days. So maybe it will pass.
