Truth or myth, there are no overweight successful women in the workplace?

[Anonymous]

I am trying to determine that it's a myth that overweight women don't advance in careers. No doubt there is some weight discrimination out there.

Yes overweight female senior managers

Yes overweight female directors

No overweight females in leadership positions

You don't know

There's a lot of fat women in higher normal workplace positions but probably not super super overweight ones though usually. Just chubby to normal fat. i've seen some though anyways like my school principal who was pretty overweight (i went to a posh private school so it was pretty big to be the principal of it and i know she was filthy rich) That being said though it's probably harder to get ahead in life if you're fat than if you're thin for obvious reasons

Oprah was getting super thick at certain times in her successful career.
Some of women the on these daytime talk shows today are overweight to a degree.
Not that I have any problem with it, I probably thought Oprah was cute, lol.

I know a lady who is VERY overweight but is a high-flyer in her field, holding a few positions at the same time. And she is considered to be an authority.

Oprah Winfrey doesn't exist?
Amanda Waller in the DC universe was basically copied off of her.
Most mean managers are overweight women.

I know many larger female managers.
