I'd better stop working so hard.Obesity Is Linked to Stress Hormone, Scientists Say
By Simeon BennettJuly 2 (Bloomberg) -- Scientists say they have found a link between
stress and obesity, which offers hope in treating the 1.6 billion adults who are
overweight worldwide.The brain under stress releases a hormone that activates a gene in fat cells, causing them to grow in size and number, according to a study published today in the journal Nature Medicine. Scientists found stressed mice gained twice as much fat as those fed the same high-calorie diet. The stressed mice didn't gain weight when the gene was removed or blocked.

You're not fat!! In fact, it wouldn't hurt to put on a few more.
I don't think this theory is true. Of all that people that started working at Citi, they've all lost weight since joining. Since the place is known for ridiculously high levels of stress...what does this tell you?? :)
If you're fat, then my ass is drooping off the chair and my left butt cheek, sweeping the carpet!
(This should lose you your appetite and thereby assist you in your un-fatness. Which is probably better than dieting since dieting is stressful and will therefore have the opposite effect of causing you to blow up like Harry Potter's Aunt Marge.)
but he is fat!
