And this reminds me of a cousin who was unemployed for the better part of a year after coasting for six years at her first job since high school.  At the time she was astonished at the amount of weight she lost while unemployed because for the first time in her life she couldn't afford her 2-3-plus daily fast food habit, as well as half-gallon of ice cream most nights.  And had to use public transit because she couldn't afford to gas up her car on unemployment benefits very often, so got some exercise hoofing it to bus stops.  She lost about 50 pounds, but BAM, went back to obeast once she got another job.
