unless i starve myself for months losing weight will take lots of my valuable time. other than running my job i have few hours everyday in which i use it for my hobby.Why not maximise your own potential and loose that gut for health reasons? It's a win/win, you increase your life-expectancy, not waste $$ on medications and in return you get to enjoy the fruits of your labour longer ?
If you have no respect for your own health or image, at least get in shape for the sake of your children, since you will be their role model.
losing weight will require you lots of time and your results wont show up until god knows when.
as for my life expenacty, i couldn't care much if i lose 20 years of my lifetime and pay medicals bills and care when i get older.
i have enough money for that
