    I would NOT give up a year of my life but if there were a "magic pill" I would take it in a heartbeat. I'd also get liposuction and a full body lift if I could afford it. Judge me if you like, I'm being 100% real. That said, there is no magic and I'm broke so I'll get my fatass on the treadmill and count calories forever. B)

    Amen!

    I would. I'm pretty sure my semi obsessiveness when it comes to eating my calories and my definite obsessiveness when it comes to exercise are taking years off my life anyway.

    And it would be a bonus to be able to just sit down and watch a tv show instead of pacing my apt and watching on my tablet to get more exercise in and be able to go back and eat all the foods I loved that I can't eat in moderation without having to worry about gaining?

    No brainer for me.

    What happens after a year? You go back to being overweight and dissatisfied? What kind of effect would that have?
    Also, you'd have to change your wardrobe for just one year. And because you didn't have to diet or exercise, you didn't learn any new habits.
    It'd be a different story if one was ill with disease, but for being overweight? I think you'd have to think beyond the reprecussions of just a one year status.

    No. Willingness to trade a year of life to achieve a weight goal suggests some kind of eating disorder or body image dysfunction.

    No, because I have three children. And giving up one year, even if it was in my 70's or 80's would meaning giving up a full year of spending them with them, and my grandchildren, which is worth much more to me than a few pounds.

    No because just because your thin doesn't mean you happy. I rather take the time to be the whole package. God bless
