Interesting graphic from a recent study on social networks and obesity. A few findings taken from the abstract:
A person's chances of becoming obese increased by 57% if he or she had a friend who became obese in a given interval.
Among pairs of adult siblings, if one sibling became obese, the chance that the other would become obese increased by 40%.
If one spouse became obese, the likelihood that the other spouse would become obese increased by 37%.

You would think that the reverse would also be true...If a friend/sibling got skinny in a given interval....yeah, wishful thinking...
My mother has been saying this for years. She calls it getting comfortable.
LOL. Yes!
