Ok, so watching The Biggest Loser makes everyone feel pretty good about themselves...until they start to get to your weight and say things like, "I'm so proud of myself, but I still have 30 more pounds to lose." And then the contestants are all disappointed when they are at the weight you are and they only lose eight pounds.
Well, that's a kick in the head.
Today starts the new season of BL (oh yes, I'm on good terms with the show to where I can nickname it) and I'm feeling REEEAAALLLLYYY good about myself.
Why, hello 440lb man eating ice cream and crying. Yes, I am basically 200lbs, less than you. What's that? In 8 weeks you'll be smaller than me and I'll be the one crying? Dang it.
We used to watch BL with our friends back in New Orleans and it was AMAZING. Clay Rowe, Josh Waybright, and my husband commented throughout the whole show; most comments were terrible, most comments were terribly funny. Eventually, as the contestants got smaller, we started to make less fun and felt more respect for them losing the weight.
I know that Brent and I are starting to watch what we eat as well as exercise and we have friends who have already lost weight and are in the process, too. BL is a great show to feel good about and eventually, make yourself do what you can to feel good about yourself.
It's great to watch, then they reach your personal weight, and it makes you feel motivated...but only after you finish your second bowl of ice cream.
Mmmm...Ice cream sounds good.
