So I think I am like one of these people that drives by car accidents and gets some sick pleasure by looking. Because every tuesday night there is this weight loss TV show called Down Size Me. Usual story – put them on a highly restrictive diet (they lose about 3kg a week) with extremely intense exercise and watch them transform into happy people. Every time I go in expecting to have a laugh but always come out feeling inadequate, incomplete and like I want to diet. I just told my flatmate and he laughed and said don’t get sucked in to that BS. But I do because as I said on one of my earlier posts its the weight loss fantasy. Oh look how happy they look, if I lost that weight I could be that happy too. My life would be soooo perfect. Arggghhhh. Its such a rollercoaster, one minute Im content and one minute Im not. Anyway I know its rubbish. Of course Ill be watching again next week like some sick little puppy.
We have a show here called The Biggest Loser that sounds like exactly the same thing. I don’t watch it because I think it is vile how they display weight loss as some sort willpower wins all game.
We have that too!!
