Feeling a Bit Hefty Lately? Survey Shows Majority of Workers Gained Weight at Work

scaleYou may be feeling like your pants have shrunk but let’s face it, thanks to the polar vortex the threads may be slightly tighter this time of year.

A new CareerBuilder survey actually confirms that state of behind. More than half of workers categorize themselves as overweight. To that point, 39 percent revealed they’ve gained weight at their current job and 21 percent packed on more than 10 pounds (nine percent gained more than 20 pounds).

Let’s not forget about the healthy group since 16 percent of respondents reported actually having lost weight on their job.
