Has anyone spotted any correlation with their corneal buldge and their belly?

Both my cornea and my belly seem to be doing the same right now.

Maybe if I go on a diet my eyesight will improve?

...that might give reason to the saying 'Your eyes are bigger than your belly ...!'

Drew

I think that gravity has a good deal to do with both! I think that when we hit our 40th birthday, all the muscle we have built up around our shoulders seems to migrate south and gather around our middles. With the assistance of gravity (not always a bad thing) this new acumulation of flesh ust sags.

I think it may be a metaphor for all life: there has to be a Simpsons script in there somewhere.

8st .. 11 st (probably much healthier)

but it doesn't matter how heavy you are. On your 40th birthday take a look at your profile in the mirror! :D

Or not, as you prefer! :D

Hehe i find it funny that it is only men who have replied to this post! Most women obsess about their weight from a very early age, do you guys only REALLY pay attention at 40?!! LOL!! :twisted:

Us blokes are under so much pressure at work we have to escape here to recharge.

Going to regret this but what the hell :D

Sweet be honest, how far away do you think I am from 40!

Will tell you now I am not 40 this year and it is still some months from my birthday.
