How far would you go to be thin?

January 31st, 2008

Would you spend a week in jail or even trade 10 years of your life just to be an ideal weight?  Surprisingly, out of 1000 women, 23% and 21% respectively answered yes to the former questions.  23% would shave their head, 22% would wear a bikini on TV and a whopping 85% would rather have an extra toe than 50 extra pounds. 

Are you guilty of looking for a quick fix? 

Instead of going through crazy measures such as fad diets, weight loss pills or even spending a week in the slammer - why not try what works, eating healthy and exercise. A weight loss spa experienced at Hilton Head can put you on the right track.

A few other interesting findings from the survey:

• 53% of the women say they have eaten an entire box of cookies, a bag of chips, a pizza, a cake or pie in one sitting
• When comparing actresses as role models, 51% would prefer Keira Knightly’s body over Queen Latifah’s
• 76% say they’d rather be known as a ‘friendly chubby girl’ than a ’skinny witch’
• 52% feel the most energetic at their thinnest, 32% feel more social
• Most of the women would like to lose 30 pounds, with a goal of weighing 131 to 145 pounds.
