Our appearance does make a difference in the way we are perceived. It's the total package. Weight is just one of the factors -- many others have been mentioned above -- but it *is* a factor. Some of us have weights that are naturally controlled. Some of us are forced to, and can, control our weight; still others of us have more difficulty doing so and some of the reasons for those difficulties may be largely outside an individual's control.
If we are serious about officiating, we should do all that is within our control to improve. And if we are serious about respect and relationships, we need to be understanding of others who might not have it as easy as we do.
