Anyone else feel discriminated against at work because they're fit?

Anonymous
I don't know what it is, but a lot of my coworkers seem nasty towards me or constantly give me churlish attitudes over simple things. I am not a talkative person and am quite introverted. I mind my own business 99.9% of the time and simply go about doing my work. The only thing I can think of is that they're angry at the fact that I'm very fit. You can absolutely tell. When I wear a short sleeved shirt you can see all of my vascularity, and for lack for better terms - my shredded arms. I am very trim and have nice shapely legs and a sculpted derriere because I do tons of leg workouts. My body fat % is below 13%.

Is it just a thing this day in age to discriminate against fit people given that the majority of adults and coworkers are now overweight or obese? Half of it too could be the negative mindset and low self-esteem many people have that has reuslted in their obesity in the first place, which they try to dump onto other people around them.

Fit shaming at work feels like it is getting more and more out of hand as the population gets more overweight.

It's supposed to be random, but my boss seems to choose me more then my share for special activities and errands he needs, like lunchtime planning meeting and helping him try on suits. That feels discriminatory.

Maybe what you see as minding your own business they see as unfriendly and "churlish." Whatever it is, it isn't discrimination.

Discrimination?

OMG, maybe you give off "I'm fit and you're not" vibes. I'm skinny, you are fat.

It's a you problem.

If you work with a bunch of 50yo+ white women then yes, possibly.

Puhlease, women body shame other women for something as trivial as makeup, jewelry and fashion choice. You really think it is surprising then that women would shame others for being fit? We know they're probably subconsciously jealous of a fit person given that almost 75% of the entire US population is now overweight. Or they're insecure over their bodies due to being overweight and therefore feel the need to trash anyone who is fit simply because not being overweight is now a highly abnormal body type this day in age..
