More than half of Americans say they'd rather lose their jobs than get fat.This poll was taken in Fitness Magazine of 1,000 people.What about you? I wouldn't want to loose my job.

I would rather get fat than lose my job. I like my job very much and would not want to lose it. Good jobs are hard to find these days but losing weight is much easier in my opinion than finding a new job that I would like. I need the money as well to pay bills and my home so definitely fat for me. :-)

well i am already fat, so i don't want to lose my job on top of that, and honestly i am perfectly happy being fat but i would be miserable if i lost my job, because i would be stressed out about paying my bills and feeding my son.

I totally agree with you. I am already overweight and if I lost my job it would make things worse for me. I would probably get stressed and over-eat more and then become even fatter. Then I would be poor and would have to purchase cheap food which is bad for you and make me even fatter.

First of all 1,000 people is not even close to how many americans there are. So for you to say over half of americans rather lose there job is incorrect. over half of 1,000 people would rather lose there job the get fat. As for me well I be fat either way. If my choice was keep you job or get fat I'd say get fat because if I lost my job I'd be fat because I'd be home and eating more. At least if I had my job I could afford to be fat.
