Work treating you differently after weight loss?

Options
Just a topic for discussion but over the years I have noticed that people sometimes treat colleagues differently if they are overweight and I found that I am respected a lot more or treated "better" when I have been slim - rightly or wrongly. It sucks but that is what I have experienced.

Just wondering if anyone else felt the same?

in the Wall Street Journal, there was the following report that made me think about this again:

I thought, maybe it was in my head, as my skills haven't changed for the better or anything with weight loss but only my appearance ..... Just interested to know what you guys think?
