A Chinese woman reignited discussions about “overwork obesity” after sharing that she gained 20 kilos (just over 44 pounds) in a year due to work-related stress.
Ouyang Wenjing from the Guangdong province in southern China, said on the social media platform Xiaohongshu that her weight had increased from 60kg to 80kg (130 to 175 pounds).
While the 24-year-old did not specify the nature of the job, she mentioned that she worked overtime, had irregular shifts, and ordered food delivery for all her meals, as per SCMP.
