I'd like to add something to this line of thinking of being discriminated against because of being overweight. Sometimes, my low self esteem (when it comes to being heavy) can be my own form of discimination against myself. I get into this ridiculous mind set that because I feel self-conscious about my weight that others will pick up on that vibe. That little voice in my head says "If you don't feel good or confident or worthy enough about yourself to get that job or promotion or whatever, why do you expect anyone else to?" Self-sabotage at it's finest. Sometimes I don't want to let others have a chance to decide what's what, because I've already determined that I'm not good enough, even though it most likely ISN'T true! Just my thoughts...

Good luck on your paper!!!
