This interesting tidbit in my daily newspaper (Globe and Mail) yesterday:
A new study has revealed that, rather than being content and confident, slim people struggle to deal with lifes woes, says The Independent on Sunday. The startling new insight into the deep mental troughs many slender people sink into comes in a report led by psychologists at Bristol University. They teamed up with colleagues across Europe to study the lifestyles of thousands of people and the results were stark: thin people were far less happy than rotund ones ..And when the scientists considered more than 3000 people who had committed suicide they found that their BMI [body-mass index] was on average significantly lower than those who did not kill themselves.
If anyone has the mad research skills to track down more info from the original report from that sketchy info, it would be interesting to hear more detail!
