The Biggest Loser

     I LOVEEEEE this show!! Like you don't even understand. I haven't watched in a few years due to school and working all of the time. Now that I've graduated, I have some more free time on my hands. I'm able to watch again. It's a great season to catch up on. They're tackling the issue of childhood obesity in America.
     For all of you readers from different countries, obesity is quite the epidemic here in America. The statistics are unbelievable: 1 in 3 children in America are obese. That's wayyyyyyyy too many kids. The major factors due to this decline in our children's health is the lack of physical activity combined with poor eating habits. Kids spend at least eight hours a day watching TV, playing video games, eating junk food and sugary drinks.
     Watching the kids on the show remind of myself when I was that age. Being teased constantly about my weight, not feeling good about myself, isolated, ashamed, defeated, you get the point. So I think it's a great thing that the trainers are gradually easing the kids into physical activity and proper eating habits. We definitely need to make changes so our children can be healthy and happy.
     Another thing that I love about this show is how intense the trainers are. It makes me want to become a personal trainer that much sooner. Their workouts are kinda ridiculous but I think I could handle them with ease. Although I must admit, Jillian scares the hell out of me. I'd probably try to quit and she'd slap me and make me do 50 burpees. Also, I can be the next Dolvett. That dude is jacked! I can totally see myself being the next big bald black personal trainer to the stars *crosses fingers*.
     So yeah, this is one of the best shows on TV on Monday nights I'm not about that ratchet mess that is Love & Hip-Hop *eye roll*. So watch something with some depth and real importance guys. We have to make the necessary changes in our lives to get people fit and healthy, and to STAY that way. Dedication and focus is all you need.
