I love the Loser

The Biggest Loser, to be more precise.
It is a feel good reality show (except for the part where people get voted off for not losing enough weight OR losing too much weight). I enjoy spending 2 hours on Tuesday night watching people work their butts off trying to lose weight, while I'm clutching a pint of Ben-n-Jerry's like its my best friend. Ah, the irony. I am inspired to see the guys who have lost up to 70LBs..... and are now down to my weight...... then the grim reality sets in - They still have 30 - 50 LBs to go.... hmmm, maybe I should put down the pint, and the cookie, and the.... well never mind.
It is obvious that I am NOT the biggest loser ( in this situation anyway).
But, it truly is an inspiring show. It has inspired me to reduce my food portions, choose more healthy options and to try to balance my diet. It has affected everyone in the family, when the McDonalds commercials come on during the show- everyone expresses their repulsion and disdain for anything fastfood.
If you need some fitness ideas or inspiration to put down the pint, give The Biggest Loser a chance. Tuesdays 8-10pm (on some network.... not sure which one... check your local listing..)
