U.S. researchers said that the irony of someone overweight may lead him to gain a few extra pounds; People who are exposed to the kind of discrimination on the basis of weight are more likely to be obese.
The researchers also noted from the University of Florida also indicated that those who actually suffer from excessive weight have less chances of losing weight if they feel that they are treated differently because of their weight.

The researchers pointed out that discrimination on the basis of weight is usually justified on the grounds that it helps to events of a shock to those who suffer from obesity in order to begin to change their lifestyle, but it may have, in fact, quite the opposite effect.
The study included more than six thousand men and women were measured their weight and asking them about their exposure "to distinguish the daily" or not, such as dealing with them less compared to others with respect, whether this discrimination because of weight, sex, or race.
The researchers measured the weights involved again after four years and found that there was no link between discrimination on the basis of sex, race, weight gain plus, is that those who have suffered from discrimination on the basis of weight increased their chances to gain more weight by two and a half compared with those who do not suffer from discrimination because of their weight.
Scientists explain, that discrimination on the basis of weight can take several forms, from exposure to offensive comments and even ignored obese when applying for any job.
