As many know I am probably one of the biggest "Biggest Loser" fans there is! I mean I live for Tuesdays to come, and when they start getting on that scale I get as nervous for my favs as they do for themselves! I love the show from beginning to end! That being said I think that the show has warped our thinking and expectations of weight loss! I want big numbers each week! I want to not gain next week but instead have big numbers again! If I don't get those numbers I feel as though I have failed and that will usually cause me to EAT! It's a downward spiral! I know that a lot of these people need to loose lots and lots of weight, but what ever happened to 2lbs being a great weight loss number for a week? Most of us don't have the time to work out like these people do, but if your like me you don't see that, all you see is that huge number that they just lost! It has created unreal and unsafe expectations for many of us! So I'm here to tell myself it's okay if I only have a 2lb loss this week, and it's even ok if I stay the same next week!
