HELP WITH STUDY AND INFORMATION
I need information and ppl own view on the following subjects;
1. Studies done and your thoughts (storeis) on people who are over-weight are having a harder time getting a job even if they are they best person for the job. Do you think you or someone you know, have been turned down for a job due to their weight.
2. If you are overweight the kind of teasing and made-fun-of out in plublic and does it make you angry, up-set, or not want to go out in plublic. Please all stories would be helpful.
3. Do you think most ppl think that the reason ppl are over weight cause they eat to much and there no other reason for it and that even doctors have this view as well.
1. I haven't expereinced this personally, but I do agree that this happens. Our society is geared towards outward appearances even if they have nothing related to something like job performance.
2. For years, my brothers call me piggy. I hated it and felt less because of it. I even hated pig knickknacks as a result. I had become very reclusive as the years and weight piled on.
I don't think we are overweight becasue we eat to much. I think we are overweight because we don't eat the proper foods. We develop poor eating habits as children or young adults i.e. skipping breakfast, eating chips and drinking kool aid. I also think that we have because obsessed with amounts. So many restaurants think they have to pile th efood up on your plate. How many of us heard as a child "Clean your plate. There are starving children in ......" Those types of habits set us up to fail in nutrition. I do think most doctors have the view that if you just eat less you will lose weight. I think just about anyone here can tell you that wasn't the case for them. I am a diabetic and was able to keep my blood sugars under control for years with my diet. Yet, I continued to gain weight.
Good luck!
