From a conversation on irc...

To me all of the below are in some way the same sort of thing, although I didn't see it that way until Richard pointed it out a year or so back. It made me feel a lot less bitter at people who I don't see as overweight who still want to be thinner. I instinctively still find the cosmetic surgery more distasteful than most of the rest, and wonder if others feel the same.

NB More what you find acceptable in others than what you would consider doing yourself.

Oops - please interpret my tick in the cosmetic surgery box to be a statement of "if somebody had very large breasts that were making their life bad and wanted them made smaller, I can't think of a reason to object". Things that are chosen purely because the patient wanted to look like Cameron Diaz despite having a perfectly well functioning [body part] to start with are different - let's see - I wouldn't accept the opinions of somebody who'd had something like that done, although I would listen to them politely and pretend that I was accepting them.
