From the Nutrisystem Diet Index (TM) comes some truly frightening findings regarding Americans’ attitudes toward weight loss. In national surveys,
- over half of women said they’d rather give up sex for a summer than gain 10 pounds.
- more people said they’d prefer to lose 10-20 lbs than get a promotion.
- almost 3/4 of respondents reported that they would give up television, cell phone, or computer “for a flat tummy this beach season.”
Really? Really? Like many people (women especially), I’m not 100% satisfied with my weight, but I think that would be true no matter how much I weighed. And while I’ve occasionally made the effort to cut down on ice cream and/or work out more regularly, no way in hell I’d give up any of the above in order to slim down for “beach season.” Jeez.
