Weight Worries Outrank Economic Woes for Many People
For the majority of people responding to a survey on the blog A Weight Lifted, worries about weight ranked as the largest source of stress in their lives, over economic worries, family/relationships, work/school and health.
Thirty-one (31) percent of those responding identified weight worries as creating the most stress in their lives; 25 percent identified economic woes and family/relationships each as the largest stressor; 14 percent named work/school and three percent identified health concerns. Thirty-five (35) readers in total responded to the survey, which was posted early December 2008.
Given the economic crisis, the finding may come as a surprise, unless you already know that worries about weight are a constant for weight-struggling women, which are likely the primary readers of the blog A Weight Lifted. They spend their lives worrying about what they eat, why they just ate what they did, what exercise they should be doing, why they don’t like to exercise, what they look like to others, the list goes on. The stress is never-ending.
