Thursday fitness fun fact
Fat people are lazy
Seven in 10 employers associate obesity with laziness and a lack of self-control, according to research.
Health consultancy Nuffield Proactive Health found that bosses admitted fat people were at a disadvantage in the workplace. Nine in 10 HR professionals told a Personnel Today survey earlier this year that there was a social stigma about obesity.
I was just thinking about this the other day. When I was in college I attended a diversity workshop where everyone got in a group with others they identified with. The goal was to come up with things that you didn't want others to associate with your group. I was in the fat group. The first thing on our list was LAZY. The second was bad lovers but I digress.
Over time I have seen what lazy fat people have accomplished from 100 mile bike rides to marathons to triathalons. So much for being lazy. Fat people aren't lazy, there fat. There are so many people here that have done so much. It's amazing. Keep at it.
