not sure...

I would like to put this question out to everyone while I have a bit of discreetness posting this on a bb instead of asking it to one's face. I am as many others in this country overweight.. I am not going to disclose how much..but that is not the point. I am taking CNA classes, preparing to take LPN classes. I guess I had not thought as much of someone discriminating against me until a fellow classmate whom is also on the fluffy side brought it up. I know in this cruel world that it does happen, but I would like to hear from more of you who may be overweight. Have you ever been talked down to or discriminated against? I have done so well in my prerequisites as far as grades go, but now I have this to worry about. Please help if you can.

I am about 30 lbs overweight. I exercise three days per week for an hour split half between weight training and

nordic-tracking. I am also a vegetarian. The weight was gained and still remains due to my going through thyroid cancer treatment. Synthroid just doesn't do the job my old thyroid gland did. I believe that it doesn't matter what size you are as long as you are strong enough to do the job, you should go for it. Unfortunately, I have been discriminated against because of my weight. I try not to let it bother me and I try to stay positive. Don't give up on your dreams to be a nurse. Good luck and don't let other people get you down.
