Well, let me add my 2 cents ...

When I interviewed for my current position, I called to ask how the decision making process was going. I was told that the committee was very impressed with me, but they had a couple of concerns. One had to do with being a woman in a man's field. The other had to do with "the impression I'd make." I know that was a euphemism for "we're worried about your weight." Luckily, they had some good counsel, and within a week I got the job offer.

At my last job, my boss took me aside one day and told me that he was concerned about my weight. And he had the nerve to tell me that I should lose weight before my marriage suffered! Talk about stepping over the limits!!!! My husband was livid when he found out. I figured that was harassment ... I wish I would have had the nerve to stand up to him.
