See below link of a new reality show coming A&E.  I saw it this morning on Good Morning America!!  It looks like it is going to be better than The Biggest Loser because they have built in time for the mental issues that plague the morbidly obese.

I hate I am going to miss it because I do not have cable TV?  Does anyone know if they have their shows on line to watch?

I will try to catch up on posts over the weekend.  Very busy at work today! 

I just wanted to tell everyone to have a good weekend!!  One day at at time!

I've got it to record.  I wish I could record it and send it to you.  I saw the same segment on GMA too.  I just hope they give them some long term support and help them understand their disease.  It certainly looks like that's what they are going to do.

Thank you as always my love!  You are the very VERY best!
hugs, Y

p.s.  For those that want to know the show is called "Heavy".

I have been told that I can watch it on line like I do the Biggest Loser.   I will check next weekend to see if the show is on line.

It's interesting that many said they couldn'****ch it because it was painful.  That's the reason they NEED to watch it.  Everyone needs to remember what it was like and not forget where they came from.  I think this show does an excellent job of it.  I think it's on tonight so don't forget!!

Hello stranger.......:-)  

Well I watched every minute of it.  I admit I have tears when I see these shows but they are good for me to see and therefore I always watch.  I admit they are painful but they are also inspirational and as you said they are reminders to us of where we came from and where we do not want to go back too. 

I like this show better than the biggest loser because the biggest loser is more like a contest now matter how you slice it.  Don't get me wrong, I like the biggest loser too and I feel they change peoples lives also.  But the difference between the 2 shows is this show deals more with the food addiction issue and the mental/mind side of obesity.  I see TBL is trying to deal with this side of it more as the years go on, but they do not have this show beat by a long shot because these people are seeing a real therapist.  And I loved it when they saw that the man was gaining the weight back they let him come back to the facility. 

I can definitely relate since I use to be super morbidly obese also and still struggle with food addiction and emotional eating also.

Molly I so agree!  I felt exactly like you do from the pain to the much better concentration on the food addiction.  I can't wait until next week.  I think it's so cute when Rickywayne started feeling better about himself and changed up his hair and facial hair.  That's when they start to see a glimmer of light and start to shine.  Thanks for posting this sweetie.
