You need to make conscious some of your unconscious decisions/eating behaviors - and the unacknowledged emotions that are driving them. <br /><br />It really didn't "happen to you". Your behavior made it happen. It's hard to come to terms with and figure out how to stop your "unconscious" behaviors - at least it was for me.Michelle Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02942323903767732265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4075446136550534568.post-38455857286364845202010-03-10T13:50:02.118-06:002010-03-10T13:50:02.118-06:00I agree about the giving of hope to people who hav...I agree about the giving of hope to people who have lost it, Michelle. Another thing that strikes me (and it's so true!) is that so many people say they look at themselves one day and wonder, "How did this happen to me?"Trish Milburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08812010789617982102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4075446136550534568.post-9149990945556411382010-03-10T10:57:45.802-06:002010-03-10T10:57:45.802-06:00From The Programming Insider:

Since ABC's The Forgotten (3.6/ 6) finished last in the time period, Parenthood is not labeled a "loser." But retention out of the 9:30 p.m. portion of The Biggest Loser (6.2/ 9) was a modest 73 percent. Let's wait and see what happens next week.<br /><br />As for The Biggest Loser, here is the half-hour breakdown:<br /><br />The Biggest Loser (NBC)<br />8:00 p.m.: 5.1/ 8 (#3)<br />8:30 p.m.: 4.9/ 7 (#3)<br />9:00 p.m.: 5.9/ 9 (#3)<br />9:30 p.m.: 6.2/ 9 (#3)Michelle Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02942323903767732265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4075446136550534568.post-39451953591270386552010-03-10T10:04:42.661-06:002010-03-10T10:04:42.661-06:00I really liked last night's episode (missed th...I really liked last night's episode (missed the first 15 or so minutes though.) I love how we are getting to see the transformational moments (inner and outer) now - seeing the lessons the contestants have learned. <br /><br />I found the scene with Steve from the foodbank very moving. I think it's what the show is all about at its heart: Giving hope to folks who have lost it that this healthy lifestyle is possible and can happen if you try, are patient and persist. I found last night's episode extremely inspiring, and I am grateful for that. I do think you have to take the show as a metaphor though and not expect the numbers they show. I'm never going to lose 5 or more pounds in a week and shouldn't expect it/can't let that thought play with my mind.<br /><br />I think they set up early that we should think it was going to be Oneal/Sunshine or Cherly and Sherry going home at the end. I really do like Oneal/Sunshine - and am pulling for all of the contestants. <br /><br />I can't say I have a favorite yet. I'm not sure who is going to win. It has to be someone who has the potential to lose more than 50% of their starting weight - so it'll come down to height vs. starting weight.<br /><br />Sam does not even look like a fat person anymore. It's amazing. I also love that they show the where is the booted out contestant now at the end. So inspiring.Michelle Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02942323903767732265noreply@blogger.com
