So, this will work for people with chronic pain how, exactly?
it is well known that PMS Elle is evil.
I think you'd fit in a 12" or at least a 16" firework mortar
You win this thread because that's most unsettling to even think about.

I can do upside down chocolate moo things!
What will happen?Taxes asking you to step on a scale, and the percentage you are over the advised BMI, will be added in percentage of taxes, on top of the regular bit?

QuoteOverweight or unhealthy people who refuse to attend exercise sessions could have their benefits slashed, in a move proposed by Westminster Council.GPs would also be allowed to prescribe leisure activities such as swimming and fitness classes under the idea.The Tory-controlled council said the aim was to save £5bn from the NHS budget when local authorities take over public health provision from April.LinkI find this disturbing but not unexpected overweight people on government assistance are an easy target. So many people seem to love to have someone to hate and look down upon and politicians love to exploit it. Sure it would be nice if these people got in shape and I am sure there would be some savings but what if they don't, Starve them thin? 'Leisure activities such as swimming and fitness classes' I can just imagine what they would be like knowing the way governments set things up things for people on welfare. It all comes back to scapegoating and distraction “ <fat people, drug users, smokers whoever it happens to be >it's their fault we are in this mess vote for me and I'll do something about it.”

When I first got fat, I started going to the gym. That was ages ago and I am still fat. I think it could be the lithium keeping me at a certain weight. Maybe they should cut my payments so I can't buy as much food.
But you'll lose weight.
