Are employers rejecting you because you're too fat?

By: Mary Shawe

We are part of a looks-obsessed society where how you look is more important than what you can do. We spend more than ever on image maintenance and smart dressing to make the right impression at work and impress the boss. But what if you're not the perfect size six? The reality is that we're bigger than ever before. If image is so important, then could your weight affect your job prospects?

Research demonstrates that weight discrimination is common at work. A recent survey in a professional HR personnel magazine showed that ninety-three per cent of HR professionals would give the position to the thinner person when deciding between two otherwise equal candidates and the evidence suggests that weight discrimination counts more against females.

Jane Douglas is now a size six business manager but when working in an office a few years ago and weighing 280 pounds, she found herself consistently sidelined. She found that getting a job was inevitably a nightmare. Her resume would be attractive and professional, she would arrive at the interview very well prepared and would finish up humiliated by the interviewer's immediate look of disgust at her size.

Plus size people often develop a larger than life personality to compensate, and she was like that - always butt of office humor but hurting inside. There were the practical jokes, and comments like at least SHE won't have an affair unless its with the cookie jar. She did everything that she could to counteract the prejudice that fat people are lazy and do not take care with their appearance. She would get up two hours early to choose her clothes but this didn't make any difference because all fellow workers saw was this very big girl.

It's true to say thatthere are some women who don't fit into these rules, everybody is stereotyped in one way or another. If you are fat there is the negative stereotype of weak and lazy loser, but there can be a positive stereotype, that you are a life-loving, big-hearted individual - all useful qualities in some professions.

However, if you don't want to encounter negative perceptions due to your weight you will have to face the task of losing weight. There are many programs, but one of the most successful I have discovered is Dr Siegal's Cookie diet, which has worked for half a million people all over the world.

Eat cookies, lose weight! Chocolate, Blueberry, Oatmeal Raisin, Banana & Coconut www.CookieDietOnline.com Starting a weight loss plan doesn't mean you can't eat delicious foods, it's true to say that if you only eat boring food, you're more likely to give up.

Imagine, like our example above - when yourchildren come out of school, they won't feel embarassed by the blob waiting for them outside the gate, but will feel proud of their slim and attractive Mom!
