As unfair as this sounds, a study was released from Yale that actually showed that females in better physical shape had higher levels of raises and job promotions than women who were overweight. Men were not included in this study.
Should job performance be judged on someone's weight? Should professional progression be affected by weight? Of course not. But this is an unfortunate reality...we are often judged by others on our external appearance.
Losing weight should be an individual decision based on one's desire to be healthier. live longer , etc. However, clearly, others judge as as well professionally based on our appearance and losing weight can only be helpful. Having said this, does being "too attractive" hurt a woman's professional advances if that is intimidating to other women? A very complicated subject and one that I am very interested in your thoughts. Please feel free to comment.
