The Biggest Loser 11:3

 My thoughts on this weeks show:

Vinney's story he told Dolvett was so sad.  I hope my children never have to feel the pain of being abused.  I never want them to look at me and think that I am the one hurting them.

Antone's story about not knowing if he would have food and knowing what hungry is.  I never want my children to feel that way.  I feel for those that do feel hungry and are in need of food.  I want to do something to prevent that.  I hope that through the Spirit and prayer that I can know who out of the people I know might need help in this way so that I can help to provide some relief to them.

How on earth was the black team losing so much weight?  I was shocked every time the next person weighted in.  I hate that the red team can't seem to beat them.  You would think the younger team would be blowing it out of the water every week.  I can blame it on the fact that the black team has Bob but I'm sure that Dolvett knows what he is doing.

Anna was really there for her team this week.  I liked how at the beginning of the show she talked to the three of them and stressed to them that this week they were going to pull it out.  I think it was good for the team to know with out a doubt that each of their team mates and trainer were in this to win it and were going to do better then they have in the past weeks.  When Coach Mike pulled 17lbs lost it was a very shocking moment.  I don't think anyone thought he could ever pull a lose that high.  That is amazing that he got those superbowl tickets that he had always wanted.

I had no idea who these football players were that came on the show.  I am kind of against pro sports as it is.  But I don't know anything about football and don't have much interest in it.  Did you see how big that first guy was, the blond guy from I think Greenbay.  OH MY GODS!  He was large!  Then the black guy that was at the last chance work out for the black team.  He was crazy big.  Then the young one that worked out with the red team for the last chance workout.  WOW smokin'.  How do that get to looking like that?  It just doesn't seem real or natural.  But to be honest, if I saw a guy at the mall or where ever in real life that looked like these football players, I would most likely think not nice things about him, assuming that he is egotistical and only into himself or into looks.  Guys that look like that just don't exist in real life.

I hate that red team lost!!  I hate that Patrick went home!!  I really like him.  I thought he was kind of cute and nice and happy.  I thought he would be in the game for a long time.  I hate that he fell on the sword and asked for his name to be written down.  But there wasn't anyone in that group that I thought needed to go home because I liked them all and they were all nice to each other.  Also, Patrick looks just like this guy I know.  It kind of weirds me out.  I wish him all the luck and I hope he can win the marathon at the end so that he has a chance to win the game/show.  Also his comments about his wife.  They kept talking about how this has brought them closer and made their marriage better.  They must have been having issues before he left.  Every marriage has issues, but they made it sound like they were having real problems before.  But now they seemed to be feeling much happier.  That warms my heart and makes me like him even more.  Go Team Patrick!

I love watching this show because it always uplifts me and gives me a new drive.  I was feeling pretty down today.  Just sluggish because I can't seem to find time everyday to work out and I really want to.  I can't seem to give up eating reeses.  I will just blindly go for them when I'm making lunch or dinner or when I'm tired or just when I open the refrigerator or just want a little snack.  I'm not hungry, I'm not even craving one, I just eat it.  It is embarrassing and a problem.  I even have been feeling sick to my stomach after eating some because they make me feel bloated and like my belly is huge and my pants are tight and I'm angry with myself for eating them.  I have also been stressed because I feel like I can't get anything done in a day.  Between taking kids where they need to go, doing shopping, cleaning up the kitchen, trying to squeeze in a tv show and some reading and showering, and if I work out that takes up a lot of time and what if I spend time with a friend or go to the playground or play outside when we are all home from school?  Nothing gets done.  Stress Stress Stress.  The Biggest Loser takes some of that away because I can see that it could be worse and I see others that are trying hard and persevering and learning to love themselves.  I can do these things too.  I want to feel like I can tackle the world tomorrow every night.
