When a human looks in the mirror he or she might say , “estoy gorda” When a person describes himself, he might say “soy alto, soy rubio, soy gordo”.

I would go with "soy gorda", as the condition of being fat is usually permanent, but this could be a moot point.

From what I understand, it depends on the situation.

If Jose has always been a big guy, you'd say "Jose es gordo." It's part of Jose's description. However, if Jose has always been rather slim, but now he's gained a lot of weight since the last time you saw him, you'd say "Wow..Jose está gordo."

Estoy gorda because it is temporary. It would be soy gorda if it was an unchangable condition.

This is yet another place where the permanent/ temporary "rule" will bite you. "Esta muerta" = "He is dead. And that's not temporary! - Goyo, May 17, 2010
