I can't help but wonder if the reason I can't get hired anywhere is because of my weight.

one of my biggest weight loss motivations other than wanting to look and feel better is to have a better chance getting a job

I've been looking for a job for three years now with no success. I've done every single possible thing you can think of to increase my chances of landing a job multiple times over and over again and nothing has worked and most of my interviews go really well and I feel a click with the interviewer

yet I still don't get hired

I've literally been ghosted and rejected by DOZENS of MCDONALDS locations.

AND by several small mom and pop shops.

like nowhere wants my ass

but I can't help but wonder if it's because I'm visibly fat?

I know that may sound like a stretch, but it has been proven employers are fatphobic along with other things (racist, abliest, sexist, etc any hate form you can think of many employers fit the bill)

and it has been proven that people subconsciously view fat people as lazy/unmotivated/lacking discipline which are qualities you don't want in the workplace

If I successfully lose the weight, (struggling to) I really wanna see how that changes the job hunting picture. like what if I suddenly get my first job offer after losing all the weight?
