Fitting into old jeans better than sex - Health, Diet and Fitness Today - 29/12/09
Posted: 30/12/2009 at 04:16pm by Rich Leigh, weight loss expert
Normally wouldn’t pay studies like this much heed, but hey, it’s nearly New Year, and it’s more fun than demonising corporate chains for making our children overweight. For now.
According to a survey by Special K cereal, more than a quarter of women say fitting into an old pair of jeans again would feel better than sex.
See the weight loss relevance there :)?
35 per cent of those surveyed admitted owning a pair of 'trophy' jeans they used to fit into and kept in the hope they would trim down enough to wear them again.
Asked how managing to put them back on would feel, 29.1 per cent said 'better than sex', 28.9 per cent thought it would beat a promotion and one in ten said it would beat a marriage proposal.
Now, we’re all right-thinking (I think) adults here, so we know that chances are these stats are: a) Made up to boost the media profile and brand awareness of Special K in the build up to New Year (my first choice answer), b) Exaggerated or c) the result of persuasion through poor alternative choices. Despite this, as I said, it’s a bit of fun - and I quite like Special K anyway.
The ‘poll’ of 2,200 women also found that a third of women fantasised more about fitting into their 'trophy' jeans than about the likes of George Clooney or Brad Pitt.
Ladies, is this right? Do you have a pair of trophy jeans, and would fitting into them indeed feel better than sex?
