I confess, I've gotten totally into The Biggest Loser. To be perfectly honest, I'm always kind of bored for the first hour and 50 minutes but I absolutely love the transformation moment. Dropping that kind of weight is phenomenal. I mean, some of them lose entire me's and I find that incredible.
So last night we had our community life group so I didn't watch it. This afternoon I wanted to relax on the couch, baby on lap, and fast forward through the episode on DVR. But, alas, I have a toddler. Usually he's somewhat interested in The Biggest Loser so I figured I'd give it a shot.
When he quickly lost interest the following conversation took place.
Garrett: I want a tookie.
Me: (pause) If I give you a cookie will you sit on the couch and watch Biggest Loser with me?
No sooner had it come out of my mouth that I realized there was not a single redeeming quality about that sentence. Maybe I can sign the kid up for some diabetes while I'm at it.
Now that right there is funny. Thanks for the laugh.

I had one of those laughs that comes out very embarassingly noisy when I read that. It's a good thing no one was around. Remaning anonymous...
ReplyDeletegenerally, if i'm around when the show airs i watch the last 20 min. i def. feel a different awareness of what i'm doing when i watch. once, i was eating ice cream and i couldn't even enjoy it because i was afraid jillian would somehow see me and say something fierce and make me cry.
ReplyDeleteLOL!
ReplyDeleteI love that show too. The story of the contestants are very inspiring. It's about time that the people realize that obesity is an issue we need to address.
