LONDON, June 30 (UPI) -- Only 1 percent of overweight women in a British survey said they are happy with their shape, blaming the celebrity culture for their attitude.
Of the 4,000 overweight women questioned by the National Slimming Survey, 83 percent said they suffered from deep "self-loathing". Some 91 percent felt depressed and 79 percent said they felt "utter despair."
Two-thirds of overweight women said they have felt like "life is not worth living," Sky News reported.
The survey also said 74 percent admitted to hiding food in their bedroom, car, garage or garden. About half of respondents removed size labels from clothing.
Among 1,000 men questioned in the same survey, 94 percent said they felt "like second-class citizens."

LOL. Now that's funny.
Oddly, I think we are raising both boys and girls to have very little respect for themselves. I hope that my children will learn to hold their head high and put their best foot forward. In real life, beauty is a combination of effort and attitude...for men and women.
Hey!
I am a connoisseur of female pulchritude. Every time I ogle another woman, it serves as a deep compliment to Mrs. P. You see, in a world overflowing with beautiful women, my well-trained eye has selected her as its paragon.
And for that, they must die.
And to think I was considering going to a one-piece!!
Listen. You spammed the thread about your website and your products, and you followed up in FRMail It's against the rules, as I've heard them, to sell things on Free Republic. I am not here for ads.
Extreme weight loss picture ping.
thanks for the metric ton ping..lol
Julie Andrews was in constant psychoanalysis for years and years.
But British women do seem angry and unhappy to me. I dont think I have known of a happy British woman.
I don't know about "we" being envious of younger better looking women.
I guess I am really old here because I love young good looking women. They are like beautiful young animals all energetic and cute. I have three daughters in their 30's so maybe that colors things. But I love looking at young people, men and women,,,they sort of make me feel happy.
And my husband having had three daughters adores young women. They sort of flock around him and he just loves their attention, they make him smile, nothing lecherous about him. I think he just has joy in their being young and beautiful and sweet. It is one of his most endearing qualities.
Maybe we are just old and beyond envy and such.
"Has anyone here met an English woman who was happy?"
Have you looked at many English women? Moreover, have you looked at many English men...?
Oh yeah. Just ignore the politics.
LOL!
I like him...he's silly.
Oh. LOL! Okay, well... that was my only shot.
You don't sound at all overweight. BMI is crap. It doesn't even take GENDER into account which is just ridiculous. My doctor said it works almost perfectly for a 5'3 small framed woman but outside those parameters it's garbage.
and that's why you lost in the playoffs..
