I've been overweight most of my life, not morbidly obese, but always 50ish pounds more than I should be. I lost a lot of weight in college, gained some back, lost it again, then gained it back after a brain surgery I had less than 2 years ago and I'm pretty much back to where I started at about 50ish pounds overweight. I'm also 5'2 so it really shows when I gain even a little bit of weight.
I have been at my current job for almost 5 years now and people that have less time on than me at my job are getting to go to other speciality units in particular two females who I'm friends with but started after me. These two are fit and in shape females and haven't done anything above and beyond what I have done at work so the only thing I can think of other than maybe favoritism taking place is that I'm fat and overweight and these specialty units don't want a female like that on their unit. It just really puts me down because aside from feeling like my weight has hindered me a lot in other aspects of my life, now I feel like it is negatively affecting my career and me advancing in it.
I know how to lose weight and eat properly but lately it's just been harder for me and after my brain surgery, which was due to a condition that also affected my spinal cord (chiari malformation and syringomyelia), it's been harder to work out as consistently and hard as I used to because I always feel like crap after too much exertion for days on end.
Really I'm just venting about how being fat is making me feel not wanted in my career and judged.
