Which one would you choose?

Oh my.
I am "extremely overweight". I have a condition called Hashimoto's thyroiditis. I gained 100 lbs in 7 years no matter what I did to try to make it stop. I even helped my new husband build our house with our own hands during that time, so it's not like I sit around eating bon-bons. My thyroid is under control but my metabolism will never be the same. Eating 1000 cal a day I lose 2 lbs a month. Any idea how depressing that can be? And now you want to know if people would despise being fat so much they'd lose a limb to avoid it?
Which would I choose? My leg, and never walk with my grandsons again? My arms, and never pick them up in a bear hug? I want to lose this weight for so many reasons. But it doesn't change who I am inside. The person in the mirror is not who I am. The person in my soul is. I am loved, and desired.
As much as I want to lose the weight, I want more for society to finally understand that it is not the shell that makes the person, but the spirit.

I would have to say overweight. Because then at least I could go and start working out, eating healthier, and I could lose weight. If I lost a limb the best I could hope for is a big chunk of plastic or metal.

Losing a limb. At least once it's gone it's gone. Being extremely overweight has many long term problems just waiting to happen.

Interesting question. I would choose to lose a limb. Not so much as a for a "look" reason, but for my health.

extremely overweight because you can do something about that, you can lose weight but you can't gain back a limb.

First i could say %. somebody else! j/ok i could say %. the obese guy by way of fact he can consistently weight loss plan! The grotesque one is obviously unattractive on your eyes. the fast one will no longer get taller except he continues to be a youthful boy. i do no longer think of your shallow this is merely a query.

I'd pick being fat. At least I can try and lose the weight. Can't grow an arm back though.
