Do people respect you more if you're not overweight?

I believe confidence is a big part of it. When I was younger, i was very thin, but very, very shy. I was pretty much ignored, never listened to, and never respected.
Then as an adult, I became a Christian, realized the love of God (and also a great husband), and discovered my value and therefore worked to overcome my shyness. As a result I can see how much better I was treated, heard, and respected, and by then I was over 200 pounds.0 -
I agree .. Before I lost 80 pounds, When I went to the gym to work out, the "gym rats" wouldn't give me the time of day. When I lost the weight it was amazing how friendly they became.0

I am not sure repulsive is the word I am looking for, but there is a weight bias out there. A lot of people feel like overweight people have not self-control, are sloppy, or unmotivated. It's a shame that people are so judgemental based on appearance only.0
