Biggest Loser

Tonight whil wathcing biggest loser something happened that brought me to tears.   When Ron and Mike went home to see the family for a week, they were met by the family. Ron has another son and he is super morbidly obese.  When he saw his father and brother the look of shock on his face was devastation when he saw them.  My heart broke for this kid. I am sure hoping that the show producers see fit to help this boy. It was heart breaking to see him just cry in his fathers and brothers arms.  OMG it brought me back to a major reality of how I felt being that super morbidly obese woman. It was a look in the mirror. 
Just needed to share how it made me take a look into that mirror and remember who I was and where I came from

TARA'S FATHER UPSETE ME. I HOPE SHE CAN WORK WITH HIM AND HELP HIM, WITHOUT GETTING ON HIM. SHE NEEDS TO REMEMBER WHERE SHE CAME FROM. WORKING WITH HIM AND SHE WILL CAN DO WONDERS. HE IS OVER 500 POUNDS. DANG!!!!!!!!

You were supposed to be in bed nursing your shoulder not up at 9:29 posting stuff and watching TV.  Shame on you!  You are going to be in Big Fat Giant Trouble when I see you nest.  You Bad Girl you.

Ohhh heck, today is a new day, the pain is not so bad, I was thinking about canceling my appt. and just taking it easy for the day and rest, I am sure my shoulder will be all better. It just needs a break.

After all the stuff I took last night, and I was able to sleep. All is good.

Ok.  That is it.  I am on my way down to drag you to the doctor, I have had enough young lady.  You are going to the doctors, and do what he tells you.  Don't make me come down there and drag your butt to the doctor.  You are going to be in So much trouble, you don't even know what trouble is yet.  All privilages will be revoked.  No more 12 mile hikes for you,  no more chinese food, no more marathons, nope if you don't go to this Doctros today, you are going to be in big time, time out, got girly girl?  That is it I am calling you, I am so mad I could spit.

I agree with you both,  I was brought to tears with Mikes brother also.  The look in his face and the helplessness in his eyes stirred up some old feeling in me too.  I also feel for the 500 lb father, I hope he can get some help too.     Hugs,  Donna

THOSE just killed me.  The look of helplessness on that young man.  The girl trying to convince her father that his lifestyle is killing him....Oh we have all been there.

Oh my, that part broke my heart!  I was in tears and my husband was a lil teary eyed himself.  For me, it brought back memories of, I hate to say it, but resentment.  I longed to have WLS for years but it just wasn't working out for me.  In the time I was waiting, my mother and sister both had it and lost tremendous amounts of weight.  I was so happy for them but inside my jealousy was killing me.  I really hope that the show can help him out or maybe put him on next season.

I know exactly what you are talking about. I want to see him on next season!! That would be awesome if Ron's son and the girl's (cant remember her name) father could join as a team or individuals.
