    Man if you're the typical driver slurping down 3 64oz fountain drinks a day I have no pity for anyone because you deserve it, but if you genuinely make an effort to eat healthy, drink water, and eat some greens, I know people who are just naturally fat even with a healthy diet. The healthiest person I know is actually 50 lbs overweight so being fat doesn't necessarily mean that you're unhealthy.

    But more often then not, if you're 100lbs overweight with high blood pressure, diabetes, sleep apnea, eczema, you did it to yourself....

    You'll get hired. The biggest issue you will face is that your company might require you to get a sleep study done and you might get stuck with a cpap machine.
