Ok, I know I'm not the only one who watched Biggest Loser tonight and went from excited to sad in 0.2 seconds.
I have a always been a huge fan of the show. I loved that the contestants were learning how to be healthy first and foremost. The finale has always been my favorite because I am so absolutely encouraged by the transformations. HOWEVER, this years was a disappointment. All of the at home contestants looked fabulous. I also thought David looked great! I just don't even know what to say to describe how sad Rachel and even Bobby, to an extent, made me feel.
I have never seen a finale contestant look so absolutely unhealthy. I think the thing that bothers me most about Bobby is that he wasn't satisfied with 170 lbs. That worries me. He was a big guy! 170 lbs is awesome (and maybe even on the skinny end).
Rachel is an entirely different story. I hate to even comment on this because I know if I had been the one to lose all of that weight I would want everyone to be happy for me. And I am happy that she was able to have this experience. I am happy that she learned what it takes to get healthy. I'm sad, though, that the competition and/or money seems to have driven her to a very unhealthy weight/appearance.
She is such a beautiful girl and seemed like a truly sweet person. I pray things only look up for her and she can learn to use her new platform in a healthy way for herself and each person she encounters.
I thought the same thing... they looked like they had an eating disorder :(
ReplyDeleteYes!!! I hate to be negative about something that should be so encouraging, and I realize that it's all "part of the game", but if that's the case they need to change the game!
