I'm watching "The Biggest Loser" right now and you know what's really nice? Seeing some of these women, who are under professional guidance for both working out and diet, only lose one pound in a week at some of these weigh-ins. It just makes ME feel better about what I'm doing. EVEN if I do everything RIGHT, I still might have a low weight loss week. I mean, those women are working out like it's their JOB on that show. They work out like 4+ hours a day, every day, all week, and they still don't lose a lot of weight sometimes. I'M a stay-at-home mom, who works out for 1 hour, 4 times a week AT BEST. In addition, I'm SURROUNDED by FOOD all day, every day. I basically live in my kitchen preparing meals and snacks for my children ALL. DAY. LONG. And my kids are NOT on diets, and I have to NOT EAT their food. I'm not saying I give them crap, but I'm not watching their calories either. I guess it's just nice to see that even people in the "fake" world of "The Biggest Loser" still have it tough sometimes, too. :-)
(An afterthought: Just to be clear, I DON'T expect to lose a lot of weight each week like they sometimes do on TBL. Maybe this post was mean or kind of like a "misery loves company" type thing, but I just feel like my weight is coming off SO SLOW, and it's reassuring to know that I'm not alone.)
