THE STIGMA OF BEING FAT

Can you ever escape the stigma of being overweight, even if you have lost the weight and are at your optimal body weight?

Researchers have found that there is a stigma attached to people who were previously overweight, and people always remember you as such. People that were always slim came out tops in the attractiveness stakes, and the previously overweight people were still labelled as lazy and or greedy by even family and colleagues.
