Would You Rather Lose Money or Gain 20 Pounds?

Louie G and I always play the "would you rather" game, and we have a lot of laughs while playing it. So, when this question was posed during a new survey, I of course, had to ask him which he would rather.

Would he rather lose $1,000 or gain 20 pounds? He said he would rather gain 20 pounds! I say I'd rather lose out on $1000.

I figure over the years I've probably wasted more than $1,000 on ways to lose weight, so I certainly wouldn't want to gain any. Between the gym, weight loss drinks and pills (hey we've all fallen for the gimmick....lose 20 lbs in 1 day....weird how it never works), and even creams to make me thin. Frankly they're all a waste of money with the exception of the gym.

Well, a new survey was conducted, asking people if they would rather lose $1,000 or gain 20 pounds.

The survey results say that most people would rather lose $1,000! Men were split evenly, with 50% saying they would rather lose the money. The other 50% would rather put on the 20 pounds.

But not surprisingly women felt a bit differently. 61% of women said they'd rather give up $1,000 than gain 20 pounds.

I guess we fit perfectly in that study with the rest of the statistics. So would YOU rather lose $1,000 or gain 20 pounds? Yes, you have to pick one of them!
