I'm on the overweight side myself. Not morbidly obese, but I could stand to lose about 30 to 40 pounds. I won't make any excuse for it...I choose to eat ice cream and cookies and to drink pop. I do have some physical and health issues that I didn't have when I weighed 30 to 40 pounds less, so they are probably related to my gain. I don't agree with this person about refusing to hire someone because of their weight and such. Only environmental reasons would cause me to not hire someone...like if my door was to narrow for a person or if my floor couldn't handle the person's weight. These I think would be the only kind of reasons to not hire someone due to their weight.
