“Why, exactly, does any of this matter? Well, the researchers worry that if people don’t detect their weight gain, it will mean they won’t try to lose weight. There’s also the concern that doctors will assume their patients understand they’re overweight, when they may actually not. But don’t fret, my pets. For one thing, one-third of women may not have noticed a weight gain of five pounds, but that leaves two-thirds of women who totally noticed. And, similarly, three-quarters of people who gained nine pounds picked up on it. So the unaware ladies are in the minority. But even if all of us stopped paying attention to our weight ups and downs, would it be the end of the world? Probably not. Would gaining five pounds over the course of half-a-year kill you? Nope. Even a gain of ten pounds is not life altering. The bottom line is this: if a woman has gained enough weight to actually endanger her health over the long-term, you can bet that the vast majority of them will have realized it. And for the rest of us, the less we feel compelled to pay attention to small fluctuations in our weight, the more time we have for other things—like giving killer BJs and cooking breakfast while wearing only our boyfriend’s dress shirt. (I kid, I obviously meant curing cancer.)” —
This is why I love Jezebel.
