Guest guest Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 I watch The Biggest Loser. I cry at some point during each show. Sometimes I cry out of joy, sometimes I greive with the contestants. This weeks show seem to have an extra emotional punch. Jillian (one of the trainers) always pushes to get the contestant to " deal " with what ever emotional problem has brought them to become obese. So they can deal with it and quit the behavior that has led to them becoming obese. I don't personally feel I have some BIG emotional issue. I think obesity runs in my family so we are pre=disposed. Add that, to just a " family " way (bad habits) of eating and over-eating. I was a thin child. So was my brother and sister. We became obese when we grew up. The same for my parents...aunts, uncles...Even my own children...thin as kids, obese/overweight as adults. So I don't think in " MY " case it's EMOTIONAL...but rather bad eating habits combined with genetics. How about YOU? Has your obesity been a cloak that protects you? Is there an underlying reason why you have become obese? Do you love yourself enough to " allow " yourself to reach a more normal weight?
