I'm guessing this happens - I have not actually heard anyone doing this. My city word has a tendency to get around pretty quick.

I'm 5'7" and 220-225 lbs - puts me at about 42 waist - this would be considered overweight. I'm in a fairly high position and feel that I earn in the top 5% of people in similar positions for the area. I have been at this weight for about 15 years.

Again it probably does happen...just not sure that it is that wide spread...
