What would you rather happen? Win $30 Million (£19M) on the lotto etc or have the ability to eat whatever foods, however many calories you wanted every day and remain the size/shape you want. (e.g. not get fat / lose / maintain)

Personally right now I want to be able to eat as many calories as I wished. If only I could eat 6000, 7000, 8000 calories or more a day and not get fat. I'd probably have more time to do the things that might make me an millionaire if I didn't have to worry about food and exercise so much. I love to be able to have pastries and cereal for breakfast with large lattes, then sandwiches with muffins or lunch, a mid afternoon snack of chocolate and full dinners with pasta/rice/potatoes, desert and wine. And snack on biscuits and chocolate all day as I fancied <sigh> Right now its hard to imagine $30 million being better than that!! :indifferent:

Obviously it can't happen - there is no such thing as no consequences for actions - its just so frustrating! :grumble:

    Interesting! I'm in the minority so far - although I guess having my own gym, pool and trainer 24hrs a day might help.

    Would it make any difference it was less money - say 1 million US dollars / GB pounds?

    I'd still take the million. But the eating whatever you want is tempting. =)

    Right now, I'm so broke you I take 1,000 dollars over being able to eat anything I want.
    Hell, if someone gave me enough money to cover all my school debt, I take it even if I had to gain a permanent 20 or 30 lbs.

    Money! Then I could hire someone to do the dishes and shopping. I love to cook and I love healthy food. I usually fall off the healthy eating wagon when I don't feel like shopping or dread having to do dishes.

    $30 million pays for a lot of personal training and lyposuction. I'll take the money.

    The money, definitely the money. Even if I could eat whatever I wanted and not gain weight, I know I would make choices that would make me feel disgusting!

    Definitely the money, even if it was just a million! That would pay off my debts, buy me a house, a couple of new vehicles for me n hubby, and get him a sailing ship like he's always dreamed of. In that house I'd have a hellofa gym set up, and I could burn to my little heart's content! =D

    They didn't say they would take all of your money away!
    I'd take the money, even a million. I could make others happy with the money as well, not just myself.

    I'd take the money then hire a professional chef that cooks delicious and healthy meals for me and an awesome personal trainer to get me in the best shape of my life! As well as a nutritionist to keep me accountable :)

    ^ This! With $30 million, you could quit work, hire your own personal trainer and work out in a fantastic home gym. You could pay someone to remove all the calories from ice cream for you LOL. That'd be nice!

    30 million. I could always hire a trainer or afford to workout whenever. But what does it matter if you can eat whatever you want and not gain. . . . if all you can afford is soup and crackers :p

    30 Million Dollars, please & thank you.

    Food is not that important to me that I'd pass up the chance
    to build a wonderful life for myself & my girlfriend. :)
