Funny! Well, if I were rich I could afford a personal trainer, a personal chef, and all the cosmetic surgery I wanted. So realistically I could become skinny in just a matter of time. However, if I were skinny but poor, a handsome prince could find me and sweep me away to his magical kingdom. Thus, I would in turn be rich.

However, if we are not living in fairy tale land and we are talking absolute reality then...skinny and poor, no question. I've got the poor thing down, just working on the skinny thing. LOL!!! :thumbup:

haha fat and rich!

I can pay to get skinny! LOL

If we changed the word skinny to healthy, I'd choose healthy and poor without a doubt.

But like everyone said, if I was rich - I could afford to get skinny!:thumbup:

Haha like Bea, I've got the poor part down, just got to get the skinny. So my answer is definitely skinny and poor. Money doesn't buy happiness!

It comes pretty damn close, though.

Fat and Rich. I would just pay for my band and then a tummy tuck.

Im not fat anymore but I sure wish I had started out Fat and Rich! Instead of Fat and Poor.

Fat and rich all the way because being fat and poor sounds miserable. Oh wait I am fat and poor! Anyway If I have to make a choice I pick fat and rich bcause I want to going out in style!

Yeah, but look at Oprah! I hear that she has a nickel or two squirreled away, and she doesn't seem to be able to buy her way out of the "fat zone"!:thumbdown:

HH

I'll pick healthy and poor.

I remember seeing a show about lottery winners once. They all had one thing in common after winning huge lotteries - they all got fat!

I love my band and my new flat tummy!

Sue

Skinny and Poor.....

Anyways With Faith the Lord will Provide!!!! :thumbdown:

Egads, that's a hard one. I went with rich and fat because like people said, I could afford to take care of myself. Besides, other than the weight itself, some very mikld sleep apnea, and some occasional back spasms, I don't suffer from any other health problems at the moment and yesterday was the first time I weighed in not morbidly obese since college.

Although, I think it's easier for me to imagine being rich than skinny. If I ever knew what skinny felt like, I might decide differently.

Ok, if you pick rich and fat, you don't get to have any surgery....you have to know that you will stay fat....

Oppps, that changes things? Maybe?

Yep, that changes things a bit.

I've got a great life and whilst I wouldnt call us "rich" we are certainly very comfortable. When I was fat, all the good times were marred by the fact that i felt miserable and self conscious.

I would rather have less money than I do and stay thin. It is true, having money is great, but it doesnt make you happy, most of the OTHER things in your life do that.

Not that i would want to have to stress over having to pay the mortgage and the school fees....

I dont know. Obesity is also a disease that affects lower socioeconomic groups far more than it does richer people, statistically speaking.

Skinny AND rich would be my choice.
