Has anyone ever been discriminated at work because of their weight:

Yes! And overweight people think that it's only one way, but I'm underweight and it happens to me frequently. I have been told straight up that I was not going to be hired by several idiots because I "look like I'm on crack". I was not and am not and it's not my fault I can't gain weight.
People have this image of how everyone is supposed to look and if you step out of that mold you are treated like your less than human or something is wrong with you and a lot of the time they don't fit that perfect image their selves.
I have no advice, we can't change people, but know you are not alone.

Discrimination is everywhere and the answer is a big YES. I'm a large lady but will not tolerate discrimination in any form and certainly not in the workplace. And to anyone that makes rude fat comments... your ignorance is showing so grow up.

Haven't tried. Not yet working, that's why. Anyway, at school, we just kid around about that. Kinda weird at first, but it kinda develops as an endearment. Okay, maybe that's just me. :)
