Biggest Loser

I admit it--I am a Biggest Loser addict. I have it set to record every Tuesday night. I save all the old shows and occasionally look back to see what the contestants looked like a few weeks earlier. My favorite contestant this season is Rudy. He's a gentle giant. He broke the Biggest Loser record for losing 100 pounds in the least amount of time. He's genuine, not a game player, just there to take care of the business of getting in shape. He's who I would want to be if I went on Biggest Loser.

My confession--I can't stop eating while I watch the show. It's horrible. I'm supposed to be inspired and motivated by these people, and instead I'm sitting in the Lazy Boy eating Oreos and crackers. I need Jillian to pop through my screen and shake me up!

I have a friend who says the world always weighs the same. So if one person looses 10 pounds, another will gain 10 pounds. This idea quite frankly scares me a bit. While my boy, Rudy, is shedding a hundred pounds, I'm cheering him on while I stuff my face. His loss is my gain. I'm doing my part to keep things in balance. I've got to get a grip on this!
