While this study took place over an eight-year period on college campuses across the United Kingdom, I worry that the results would be the same in the United States. According to a survey by the Succeed Foundation, in partnership with the University of West of England:
- 30% of women said they would trade at least one year of their life in order to achieve their ideal body weight and shape;
- 16% would trade one year;
- 10% would trade two to five years;
- 2% would trade six to 10 years;
- 1% would trade 21 years or more of their life.
- In addition, many women surveyed also said they would forfeit a promotion at work, part of their salary, time with loved ones and even their health.
