A new survey has figured out the average age when people FINALLY give up on their lifelong quest to have abs, and realize it's time to enjoy hanging out on the couch eating ice cream.

--According to the survey, the average age when people, quote, "let themselves go" is . . . 41.

--Around age 41, people start eating more . . . and their metabolism has slowed down to the point where they REALLY can't get away with it.  People also exercise less, so they start to put on weight.
