Priorities

[flexibeast]

So just how important do people think it is to ensure that they are not 'obese'?

This important:

The 4,000 respondents in varying numbers between 15% and 30% also said they would rather walk away from their marriage, give up the possibility of having children, be depressed, or become alcoholic rather than be obese. Five percent and four percent, respectively, said they would rather lose a limb or be blind than be overweight.

[ Some people would give life or limb not to be fat ]

I'd do almost anything to be thinner (except maybe eating less and exercising :)

Heh, yep. Another example of our society's tendency to say "i want X, but i'm not willing to work for it!"
