Guest guest Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 How many of you felt that you were discriminated against at work, or at job interviews because you were obese? And how many have noticed a difference now that you have lost the weight? Over at obesityhelp.com, I saw an interesting article written by a woman who is a chef, who lost 170 pounds and says that her catering business improved when she lost the weight. Here is the link to the article: http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/business/7650194.htm I know I was discriminated against when looking for a job and was obese. I lost out on many opportunities I was well qualified for and then saw them hire normal weighted people for the jobs. In my current job, I was hired as a post-op. I do believe that obese people have a much harder time getting employed, and having to prove their competence. Good article...
