High BMI will disqualify you from being hired...


I've warned people about this time and time again but no one wants to listen. Well, I'm the only black still playing Dodgeball and Kickball. I love the two sports and I exercise at 6am in the morning. One of the greatest exercises in the early morning is my Firmfitnessdirect tape. Wow. they have the greatest exercise tapes designed for women. They tell the truth when they say you can see visible results in 10 sessions. Please believe me after 10 sessions or 10 days you will start to firm up and look really nice. The tapes are fun and you have to keep a clear mind. Just take your time.
I've been still reading and the topic is coming up more and more on the internet about High BMI and using this as a tool to disqualify applicants. I feel this will totally destroy many black women. They ignore their bodies and they want to protect their hair. Therefore, the thought of sweating is not going to happen. They are very inactive in big numbers and this will keep us from working. The saddest part is that they will not know why they are not being hired. What about those who do not have computers at home? What about those who do have computers but do not use them regularly? I have so many friends but they either have no computer or they are never online. I live on online either working, learning, or doing some sort of research into Health.
Clarian Health is one of the companies who is being blasted all over the internet with their new policy on hiring methods used for people with high BMI and how they will dock their employee's paycheck anywhere from $15 each week or $75 per month for continued high BMI. They will also dock pay for those who smoke. Also, employers do not have to hire you if you have a high BMI. With these methods, many African American sisters will be out of work. They will not have a clue as to why they are not being hired. Therefore, I contacted K104 and the Steve Harvey morning show. People need to know.
Many black women talked about me and called me crazy at work for trying to lose weight. I finally did it and I feel wonderful. Just today, I exercised at 6am for 30 minutes. During my lunch hour I exercised playing raquetball for 30 minutes. This evening after having a light dinner I exercised for 1 hour practicing my kicks, catching, and throwing for Kickball and Dodgeball. Then I went to play another 30 minutes.
I still have another 30lbs to lose before December. On every other Saturday I play Dodgeball for 2 hours. Every Thursday, I play Dodgeball with a league and every Sunday I play Kickball with a team. With all of that exercise I'm having a difficult time losing the last 30 minutes. But then I did stop exersing at 6am in the morning and during lunch breaks. As of last week, I changed my lunch break to an hour lunch to exercise. Since, I'm no longer busy in the morning and I work from home I'm now doing my exericse during the first 30minutes of work. When the sun goes down then I'm at it some more for an additional 2 hours. I stay busy busy busy at home. This is the only way to lose weight. You have to increase your physical activity and cut your calories to a minimum of 1200 calories. Always rember to stay hyrdrated. Eat plenty of fruit and cut meat consumption down. I began with starting out cutting beef consumption from everyday down to 5 days a week. Then after two weeks I cut my meat consumption down from 5 days a week to 4 days a week. The next two weeks I cut meat consumption from 4 days a week down to 2 days a week. When I finally made it down to 2 days a week I ate only either one of two choices: Chicken either grilled or baked and or Fish.
Another big flaw I had was drinking sweet drinks. That is another story.
