Overweight people are less likely to be hired, are lower paid, have fewer opportunities and are often outright bullied in the workplace. And, as these stories and studies reveal, women bear the brunt of the discrimination.
New weight loss drugs are promising but they are very expensive and we still do not know the long-term effects.
Bariatric Surgery remains the No 1 choice for significant weight loss.
