Does power make people fat?

I am a ringer for the Willendorff Goddess and my GP considers that a problem. Stress causes weight gain in some people.

Corbyn has put a bit of weight on - what does that mean?

Caesar:
Let me have men about me that are fat,
Sleek-headed men and such as sleep a-nights.
Yon Cassius has a lean and hungry look,
He thinks too much; such men are dangerous.

Perhaps he is less dangerous than he used to be (moot point)

If this theory is right, does this mean that our Prime Minister will start to fill out, have to buy her clothes in Evans and no longer look like a string bean? Goodness!

She was diagnosed with diabetes not that long ago, which is why she has lost weight quite quickly.

Stress doesn't cause weight gain, stress may cause some people to eat more. Too much food causes weight gain

Hadn't noticed if JC was overweight not interested really.

Aw little Bernie Ecclestone ....... Rumour has it that he does have an amazingly big 'W'

Yep WALLET

As for JC not interested except to say how humorous I found it when he kept 'ducking' under the roses round his front door. I kept yelling at the TV "get your secateurs & cut them back". They must have been low 'cos he's vertically challenged!

Jezza is probably eating too many take-aways and drinking too much beer with union leaders and Momentum members.

absent - my dad used to describe his expanding waistline as his corporation.

I think that when people become successful they eat more and maybe eat better quality food and drink a lot of wine etc.,

absent my GD always used to say "here comes the Mayor & Corporation" - meaning they were well padded !!!!

Jalima Diabetes does not cause weight loss but any-one diagnosed is advised to keep their weight down, change in diet & eating habits does have the knock on effect of weight loss (not in may case sadly)

Oh, I thought TM said it had in her case
It certainly did for my MIL before she was diagnosed.

Theresa May was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in 2012 after she sought medical attention for sudden weight loss - a classic symptom of the condition along with increased thirst, tiredness and urination.

Comfort eating?

Is 5'10" vertically challenged?

I wouldn't say power makes people fat but it does make them look old.

Look at any of our PMs or the US presidents after a few years in office, and they usually look old and haggard. Tony Blair was an obvious example. David Cameron, not so much - he did seem to get rather florid and a bit bloated, but then he always was a bit of a smoothie-chops, even in his early days.

Most of them seem to perk up and look younger when they're no longer in power.

Pogs. I love cruising, not that I get to do it these days , but I always enjoyed myself, and never put an ounce on, or gramme or whatever floats your boat( No pun intended). It isn't necessary to pig out just because the food is there, nor is it necessary to pig out to have a good time.

Corbyn doesn't drink alcohol.

Shanma

That told me then!

I've never been on a cruise but I have been on an All Inclusive, perhaps I am alone in putting on a pound or two when I return from a holiday.

I do 'enjoy myself' anyway.

You can't be stressed with a sense of humor like yours.

I knew my modelling days would come back to haunt me.

And Christine LaGarde is sooo slim....

@Legs55

T1 diabetes most certainly does cause sudden weight loss - as can advanced T2 diabetes.

Insulin resistance means that glucose can't get into the parts of the body which need it. Hence, the weight loss, loss of muscle tone, fatigue and high levels of glucose in the bloodstream.

Or in T May's case, lack of insulin.
