I am constantly amazed at the amount of people who are obsessed with "The Biggest Loser". I suppose the compulsion to watch is driven by the fact that you get to see a person going through a real-life struggle, and whether they succeed or fail in the big and small decisions. Unfortunately, many of the people on this show are doing extreme exercise and food control. There is a benefit to this occasionally. To push beyond our limits and test our will and strength. I give them major kudos for the undertaking, especially when it seems half the world is on the edge of their seat to see the number on the scale every week.
Can you imagine? How would you like a film crew fixed on you the next time you step on a scale? On the flip side, what would be a better motivator? How can we choose to find our inner camera crew that will reflect and remind us of the desires of our hearts and the best-self characteristics that could make us choose moderation and hard work over binging and laziness?
If we can't all be on "The Biggest Loser" and have our entire life focused on health and weight management, what will we do to keep ourselves on the winning side of health for our bodies, hearts and minds?
