I don't doubt that the job situation is adding to your depression. Things are awful "out there" and it doesn't seem to be getting any easier to find a job. 
But DON'T let this throw you into a self-doubting state. These 'tables' and graphs & studies about who is obese and who isn't really GRIND me!  Who's to say who needs to lose weight & who doesn't?? Who makes the "rules?" BAH. I'm not buying into it. If you feel healthy and you ARE healthy, that should be good enough. Who wants to look like those anorexic women in the magazines? Most men like women with a little meat on their bones!! 
You are NOT hideous -- you're NOT ugly or unloveable!!! You're a decent, hard-working person who is depressed at the moment. If you aren't already on one, it might be a good idea to get on an anti-depressant -- even if it's just temporary until things improve. I've been on one for years, and I can say that it helps me immensely!!! I hate to think the shape I'd be in without it.  Talk to your doctor.
I wish you the very best -- and hope things start looking up for you. Take care and God bless. Hugs, Lee
