[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your weight would not cause me to withhold a job offer. 
It sounds like you've lost your verve and vitality due to your brother's suicide. That's probably why you're not getting hired. [/quote]

Yes, this.

If you are dealing with grief about your brother, self-image problems about your weight (I think your weight is an absolute non-issue), down about job prospects, and you're aware that you're judging other potential employers unfavorably compared to your current employers, etc.... that all adds up to an attitude or demeanor that might be extremely noticeable to a potential employer.  I'm not saying you're wrong to be feeling any of those things, but you probably aren't aware of just how much you're not yourself right now.

I just hired a nanny and several candidates were overweight.  The person I hired is definitely overweight, but she had the most upbeat, happy disposition - and that's what I wanted around my kids.  So that kind of thing matters tremendously to me and if I sensed you were in a really difficult spot right now personally you might not be my top candidate.

Try to relax OP, allow yourself to grieve your brother, do not beat yourself up about your weight (truly - 15 pounds is nothing to worry about right now) and let time heal things a bit.[/quote]
