If you lose a lot of weight, you're more likely to also gain in wealth. Thus finds an Ohio State University study from a few years ago. The basic idea, as I understand it, is probably that (1) those motivated to lose that much weight will also be motivated to improve their finances and (2) once you start losing that much weight, there's a positive feedback effect, and you'll feel like doing more to improve your finances. I would also guess that (3) the overall health and confidence benefits might also help you get a new job or kickstart a new direction in your career, contributing to the same rise in overall wealth.
