Open Mouth, Insert Foot (not Food)

Holy cow, I am completely floored by the last episode of the Biggest Loser. I mean, I honestly taped it and watched it again two days later because I needed to see the transformations all over again. How inspiring (I say while snacking on Cool Ranch Doritos. Just kidding.)

Let's start with Poppi. Rich and I mocked her from day one. She was Scary with a capital S. Really. Frizzy hair, big nose, shmata around her head... and one big fat face. Quite a porker recommending our home state. Need I say how amazing she looked at the end? I apologize to Poppi.. because she certainly made me "eat" my words (notice carefully placed pun). Rich still thinks she's a bit scary looking, but I think she is adorable. Erik had a colossal transformation as well. As did a few of the other contestants.

Now I am a large girl. But I dont have it in me to prance around in my spandex and sports bra on national television. I mean, who needs to see me jiggle? Further, I have been a loyal follower of the Biggest Loser and I cant help but wonder why the first challenge always includes (prior to any weight loss) these poor souls having to get over some type of tall wall... complete with fat men literally trying to push the fat women over the wall... It's a sad state of affairs. Fat jiggle everywhere and interesting camera angles while these people straddle the walls in their spandex. I always start the season thinking that the show is demeaning and pathetic and always end the season in awe of the transformations. I can't wait until Season 4 begins.
