Thin Wins!

To put it into more concrete terms, where the rubber hits the road . .  where being overweight affects your pocket book . . lets look at the effect of weight on salary. Weight affects salary significantly, but the effect is different for men and women. For women, the skinnier you are, the more money you’ll make. Women are punished for any weight gain. For American women, a 25-pound weight gain produces an average decrease in salary of $15,572 per year.  Very thin women earn approximately $22,000 more than an average weight woman.  Very heavy women (over 30 BMI) earn about $19,000 less than the average.!
