Hi!

The kids are at home again for half term this week - no sooner the school year has begun than they are taking a break from it!

Still the weather is still gorgeous for the time of year, the kitchen is finished and all is well.

One or two Christmas decorations are starting to appear in the shops now to remind us about the mad season to come and all those things to buy but it's too early to worry about that yet...or maybe I should just start getting a present or two...

Have a great week

Love

Feature Article : Biggest Loser Weight Loss

Reality TV shows live and die by dramatic results. The garden, the home, the body are transformed with the help of experts seemingly by the flick of the remote control. And all the effort of a week or two is concentrated into 30 minutes or so of edited TV moments.

We might get the idea that hard work has gone on to transform the "victims" but we don't really experience the sheer effort and monotonous repetition plus the feeling of hunger and denial that has brought about the result.

We envy those who achieve success with the help of the shows but actually there is nothing to stop us doing what they do right now for ourselves. We could employ a personal trainer to learn some exercise routines and a dietician to get an effective diet and just follow their regime.

But would we do it?

No chance!

We know we could even just follow the latest diet and fitness book and have the body we've been dreaming of but we just don't do it.

Envying those on TV is a way of denying that we already have that opportunity for ourselves.

Now if this sounds a bit harsh, it is. But it's a fact of life that more than 99% of us just do not want to be slim enough to knock ourselves out in the process. No need to beat yourself up about it - just set your expectations accordingly.

Reality TV shows make me mad because they make the average person on a weight loss plan feel like a failure when they lose only a pound or so a week.

But a pound or so lost consistently every week will get you there if you just carry on. Don't get discouraged by the dramatic weight loss of others following plans that they will never be able to keep up after the show. Just continue improving your eating habits and increasing the amount of activity you do and you will get there in the end.
