Would You Take The Pill?

If you weigh more than you "should", and there was a no-physical-side-effects pill that you could take to get instantly to your ideal weight, would you? Would you if it was free/covered by your insurance? Would you if it cost less than $500? Would you at any price? What would you do afterwards? (the "magic" pill has no long-lasting effects, it's a one-shot deal.)

I don't think I would. I could do with losing about 30lb, but I'd be worried that if I didn't do it the diet/exercise way, it'd come off the wrong places and go straight back on becasue I hadn't changed my habits. Which would be depressing. Tempting though it would be to see how I might look. Also I might -in a paranoid moment- worry that it would reduce my weight by removig my head. Unless it expressly said not in the small print.
