Hypothetical ONLY: If you knew you had 6 months to live...

[Deja Q]

Poll question: Hypothetical ONLY: If you knew you had 6 months to live...

would you go off your diet? :evilgrin:

[wallwriter]

1. Um, anything about more serious vices than chocolate?

[Orsino]

2. Let's just say that I would be burning off the extra calories. n/t

3. I have a short list of people to, uh, visit if I find out I'm terminal.

[Lilith Velkor]

7. Me too.

The exercise may help keep the weight off.

9. It couldn't hurt! :-)

[ET Awful]

4. Hell with the diet, the undertaker can trim out 15 pounds or so

while he's got me on the embalming table.

:evilgrin:

5. ask stephen jay gould

if i remember the story aright, he was given 6 weeks to live

he lived 20 years

if the diet is just to lose weight and to be pleasing to the eye, would be unwise to go on such a diet while fighting cancer or another serious ailment

eat what you like whenever you have the appetite

if the diet has a serious chance of extending your lifespan you may want to consider it

but if the doctor is just giving you a diet as a handjob when there is no real hope, again, eat what you like

but we are never in the situation where we know we only have six months to live, we might have six minutes, or six decades

have a small piece of chocolate or a small cube of good cheese every day

6. Sounds like a plan to me!

BTW, pitohui, WELCOME TO DU! I hope you'll have fun in our crazy little village...

:hi:

8. Doesn't matter how long you have, food should taste good. It's

the quantity that I would stop watching.

10. Well technically, don't we all have only

six months left as we really have no idea when our end is coming.

So lets party!!!!!!!

11. Forget the diet.

I'd be doing all those "nasty" drugs like I used to do all the time. And I'd be looking for hot guys. Chances are I'd lose weight w/o a diet.
Besides, I'm getting cremated.

[I Have A Dream]

12. Abso-bloody-lutely!

I'm going to be cremated and not have a funeral.
