Just a fantasy question here. I thought about doing a poll, but I didn't want to pigeon-hole any answers.
If there were *something* out there (diet pill, surgery, hypnosis, whatever) that would bring you to your ideal weight, what would you sacrifice to get it? I'm thinking along the lines of a pill or procedure that would guarantee XX pounds lost in XX days/month. Of course this is a fantasy, so there would be no bad health side effects, but you would still need to maintain that weight afterwards. How much money, time and effort would you spend? Really think about it a while. I think about those people on Biggest Loser or whatever, and I wonder if, given the opportunity, if I would choose to do it. Go live with strangers for 2 months (or whatever time) without my family, job, friends, dog & cat, temptations and workout like a fiend and have a trainer and eat healthy and have weekly weigh ins. Oh, and I almost forgot about the $250,000 prize at the end! HMMM, wonder if I could/would do it....
What would your "perfect" balance be?
I think I would spend $500 if I could lose 40-50 pounds in 1 month. I'd probably spend $100 for 25-30 pounds in 1 month. I would be willing to eat healthy and do moderate exercising for that month.
Would you be willing to go somewhere (fat camp, tv show, etc) for any length of time to accomplish your goal?
I would leave my loved ones for a month, maybe even two. But I can't afford to leave my job. I don't know if I could take a leave of absence and still have my job and I know I/my family couldn't afford it financially.
So what do you think?

Since youre talking Fantasy only.........
I would love to find a PILL that would magically make my excess weight disappear
......overnight would be good........lol
And have it also work so that my body never wanted to gain weight again
Then, I would be willing to pay however much money I could get my hands on
Have a good one,

Wow thats some fantasy! LOL
Do I have unlimited amounts of money in this fantasy, cause then I would pay whatever it cost no matter what! But in this lifetime I couldn't afford to pay anything I guess I might be able to scrounge up a couple hundred dollars but I could never use money NEEDED for my family to combat years of selfish lazyness. I mean really i am realizing that I
Humm.
I'm not sure, but I guess like Gayle said instant gratificition lol.
