Nearly
one in five British women would sacrifice a pay rise or promotion for a ‘bikini
body’, a survey claims.
The
poll – carried out on behalf of diet shake manufacturer Slim-Fast – found that
while there were 19 per cent who would sacrifice a pay rise, 21 per cent would
rather sing karaoke in front of 100 strangers than strip down to a bikini.
And
many of those surveyed said they found wearing a bikini on a beach as stressful
as meeting their partner’s parents for the first time.
Nearly
half said they thought their partners looked at foreign women on the beach
because they have better bodies. And a fifth would rather give a speech at a
wedding or ask a stranger out on a date than wear a bikini on a beach
