I'm not sure it's so much a question of whether someone's personality blinds others to what may be considered physical ugliness.
I'm a firm believer in the saying, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." I've found myself physically attracted to women before that had some friends saying, "huh?" Likewise, my friends have been attracted to women that had me saying, "her? really?"
I think personality plays an integral part to physical attractiveness because one's demeanor and mood show in their features and how they carry themselves. To me, a strong sense of independence and self-confidence easily plays a part in physical appearance.
I see what you're saying about weight, though. I do believe, however, that weight doesn't play a part in everyone's idea of beauty. For a lot of people it does, but not for everyone. So, to answer your initial question, yes I think it is possible to be physically attracted to someone who is overweight or obese.
