Ophra And The Losers

I watched Ophra today, the subject had to do with the people of the show “The Biggest Loser”. She had some of the contestants on, to show them before and after. I was shocked, like I always am, when it comes to the end of the all the biggest loser seasons at how much weight people lost. I was glad to see that additional people lost weight and got healthier. I was a little angry not because they lost the weight but because they were lucky enough to get a personal trainer through the course of the their weight loss. Not every person can afford to have someone to push you when you feel weak and a psychologist to be there to hold you emotionally and physically when your about to fall. I know I can’t, I need a little help now and then.

One thing I do agree with is the emotional hold that food has on you and how people use food as a soothing device when they feel bad. Meaning you have to retrain your brain in order to be successful in losing weight. You have to deal with these feelings. Feelings you’ve built up from your past. Wow! When you don’t know where to start, and you don’t have money to keep it sustained, how do you go forward?
