No One wants to hire me!!! Weight?

Im almost convinced it is because of my weight that no one wants to hire me. I have been to a ton of interviews where i am completely qualified and i have no call backs. I call them and they tell me they have chosen someone else. Now i know the economy is bad for these jobs, but come on, out of like 15 interviews in the past 3 months ive gotton NOTHING?

Just frustruated i guess...i have a great personality and im willing to work hard...and know one wants me!!!

Well i appreciate all the great opinions and views...lemme clear something up....I have confidence....and when i wasnt as heavy i NEVER had a problem getting a job....only now when im 345lbs am i having a prob getting a job. The job i want is an office position, receptionist or admin assist. Im 22 and overweight.....so the HR people see young and overweight and cant seem to look at my qualifications. I am VERY qualified......

Now this may not be from my weight but i can pretty much assume most of the jobs i lost because of this and some of them might have been just a chance thing that someone a little more qualified than me applied. Either way......i was more or less putting this post in to see if anyone has gone through the same thing as me. I have no intention of ever suing anyone for my weight...unless they straightup said "u cant have this job cuz ur fat" then i might sue...lol...

thanks for all the responses
