I don't, for a number of reasons, follow The Biggest Loser on NBC. I mean, I've watched it, I think it's vaguely entertaining, but ... meh.
Yesterday though, the innerwebs were blowing up about the most recent winner, so I read a few articles.
Here's the, heh, skinny.
This gal named Rachel won by dropping half her body weight - well, more than half, to be fair:
And apparently, some people think she went too far. I'm going to fall squarely in the camp of "some people".
I would say that I look at both pictures and I don't see a healthy woman in either of them.
No, she wasn't doing herself any good at 250. But tell me the one on the right doesn't scream EATING DISORDER.
She went from a size 20 to a size 0/2. In about four months. I can only assume she peed blood, like a lot of other contestants (look it up).
Would I rather look like After than Before? I don't know - I'd settle on a happy medium.
Also, can we agree that with a spray tan, hair done, make up and a SMILE (really?), the gal on the left would rival the one one the right for many, many people.
Including me.
The moral, I think is love yourself at any size.
Eat right, exercise.
And because it rhymes, I now have a new mantra.
