Sure. You only lost the crappy years at the end anyway. :-P

naw not really actually. The crappy years get moved up to your 40s and 50s [maybe even 30s if your REALLY obese] and you pretty much lose your youth.
They say most sumo wrestlers don't even live till their 30. As has been said...... is it really worth those extra sandwiches?
Surgoshan:
Um, sumo wrestlers are pretty fat, but not ridiculously obese. Their life expectancy is more like 60-65; they're basically normal fat people.

Yo can call me a fuckin leftist if you want, but Germany is spending most of its money on the Bundeswehr, too. Much more than on health-care if I can believe the statistics I got, when I asked for them at the Finanzamt. It's been a while, so I can be wrong.

See, that's where they pay for their treatment.
I don't smoke and I don't like smoking, but I don't agree with you.

Well, not so long, that they come to the costs of people who are living healthy lifes, appeareantly.
@topic:
I don't see her point. Faye is not fat and most people I know are skinny and not Faye-like. And most of them are complaining about their figure, so this is just something nearly every girl seems to do (and I compliment every girl, who doesn't).
mustang6172:
I'd like to chime in as someone who is overweight. Faye isn't obese. She's full figured and insecure with her body, but not obese.
I'd also like to point a few things out about myself. I do watch what I eat. I've cut down on saturated fat and eat more vegetables than I used to. I don't eat fast food more than once a month. I admit that I am lazy and have a sweet tooth. I've learned that how much you weigh isn't the best indicator of how healthy you are. An overweight person who exercises regulary can be healthier than a skinny person who doesn't.
I think western culture has been saturated with lazyness. 100 years ago, if you wanted a snack, you had to make one from scratch. Today you can purchase a candy bar for 75 cents. Back then, if someone was skinny it was because they couldn't afford to eat more. Human nature forces us to do two things: eat and fornicate. When we invented birth control, technology allowed us to pursue the latter without the responsibilites of raising children. Unfortunetly, technology has not caught up with the former. Maybe it will someday and you can take an anti-obesity pill with your chocolate cake.
