Actually I'm cheating a little.....I'm going to use an email I sent out as my entry for today.  And I plan on following up with a great example from a client of mine....fingers crossed on that one!!

 I’m not a big fan of reality tv shows.  Lot’s of reasons why.  And I won’t bore you with them.  So it’s rare that I find myself watching one.  The only time is when I’m doing something around the house and Lisa has control of the remote!!!  Last night I was doing something productive – probably changing a poopy diaper - and Lisa lingered a little too long on the Biggest Loser.  Don’t start me on how bad I think that show is to society…..but, it completely redeemed itself last night (temporarily).   The scene I endured was one of the competitors being chastised by his evil coach regarding his nutrition.  She was ‘in his kitchen’ regarding his eating habits.  It was on the lines of “I’m at a loss as to what to do with you (you big fat loser – my words not hers) when it comes to your eating habits.  We’ve talked about it.  You’ve told me that you understand exactly what I’m telling you, yet you just can’t follow through.  This may be your last week on the show if you don’t get it right.”  She picked up some sheets and handed them to him and made him read his daily caloric requirement so he could lose weight.   And then she hit him with the most bizarre statement you could imagine.  Again I’m paraphrasing her….”we both know that you have got no chance of burning off fat from your body if you don’t eat what you’re supposed to eat!!!”  That’s what they were arguing about.  They do a spot on this 350 plus pound guy who sheepishly says “gee, I know that I’m not eating enough to be able to exercise as much as I can and burn off all this goo around my body (my words!) but I’m just not hungry.  And I know it might ruin my chances of winning the competition….” So, there you have it folks!  The reason for a person possibly not winning a crappy television show about losing weight has got nothing to do with him overeating….it’s because he didn’t eat enough!!   What do you think about that?  No, seriously tell me what you think…. Cheers, Mel
