And the whole time, I'd be watching"The Biggest Loser" for the sweet validation that everything I was doing to my body — much of which was dangerous — was for my own good. I, like so many others, believed that my weight"problem" was about my weakness, my lack of self-control, my failure.
I eventually let go of my obsession with becoming thin, and NBC seemingly let go of"The Biggest Loser" when it faded out without ceremony after its final season in February 2016. But now NBCUniversal has revived the show on the USA Network this month as"Perhaps NBCUniversal executives hope that we've all forgotten that the show's"weight loss program" doesn't work in the long term: The majority of contestants.
THINK The contestants are asking for this though. They are putting their bodies out there for ridicule.
THINK Will you force obese people to lose a ton of weight in a few weeks and then send them home to gain it all back and more?
THINK Cool.
THINK Because it’s no longer on nbc it’s a bad show GTFO
THINK Hopefully the show will focus more on long-term benefits and tips. It's not reasonable to expect most people to work out hours every day, and the original show didn't strike that balance.
THINK is trump going to win again ?
THINK Overeating is an addiction just as much as alcoholism but leads to a longer life of pain and sadness.
THINK Sure, weight dies not dictate health. But the body positive movement can be just as dangerous as fat shaming. It gives excuses to not eat healthy, or excersise which is needed to be healthy no matter weight (skinny or obese).
THINK Well, except for the people who lose massive amounts of weight and add years to their lives...
THINK Yay!
THINK No.
THINK ...coincidence with the Jersey. It’s daddy’s favorite show!
THINK Lol
THINK Don’t forget 95% of them gaining most or all of their weight back, too.
THINK There’s a fine line between shaming and just being honest
THINK It’s very simple Calories IN - Calories OUT = 0
THINK Did not expect so truthful a headline....
THINK Man, you guys have some terrible opinion writers. It’s not fat-shaming to encourage health and wellness. We should all strive to live healthy lives. Let’s not forget the leading cause of death is obesity.
THINK 😂 getting in shape isn’t fat shaming
THINK Nearly dropping dead of a heart attack only gave the man more endorsement opportunity.
THINK Losing weight is now the unhealthy life path while being fat is healthy? How much you want to bet this “author” is allergic to exercise?
THINK NBC certainly knows losers.
