(Please note I work from home and my competition is just in my own head... I don't taunt others or anything)

I have never suffered any discrimination in church really.

I am sure some who don't know me have their thoughts as I walk by but, just as at work, I put everything I have into it and I generally hear very positive comments about any involvement I may have in a service.

Overweight is perceived as lazy and people write you off as that pretty fast until you demonstrate otherwise.

Thankfully my current job hired from a testing process where I proved myself and demonstrated a keen ability to understand instructions and execute with precision & speed.

I think it's funny that skinny folks think fat folks are lazy. I'd like to see them carry around 389 pounds everywhere they go!

Lazy, my foot! LOL!

I would know. I once carried that around with me, even up stairs. But lazy I wasn't, and I could move just as fast as those skinny girls! Ask LR! She'll tell you how she'd tell me to slow down in a crowd because I'd zoom right on through!

Before I had my stroke I was the same way. My mother-in-law would always ask me "how can you move so fast?", usually I would walk off and leave her and Renee because they were just so slow. After the stroke I became the slow one.
