Change Me.
Whether it’s a few simple changes (change our style of clothing or color our hair), no matter what, in the back of our minds, there’s the thought that something else needs to change. Especially when it comes to our bodies, everyone has their thing. Those who are overweight wish to be skinny. Those who are of average weight wish to be skinny. On the flip side, those who are were overweight, who lost a significant amount of weight, still wish to be skinny and loose more weight.
But I ponder the question. When is it ever enough? Just the other night I was watching “The Biggest Loser”. I’ve watched this season from the beginning, and of course I have my favorites. I was rooting for Tara to win because I admire her determination. However, a woman named Helen won. Helen started off at 200 plus pounds and now only weighs 117. When looking at her on TV, you can tell she lost a lot of weight. But, why when someone looses a lot of weight and their next to skin and bones, how comes it’s never enough? Why can’t we just stop and be satisfied? Her competitors at the final weigh in, aren’t as skinny almost skin and bones as the winner. They are a healthy skinny, without the image of skin and bones.
There’s something telling you in the back of your head that where you’re at isn’t enough. When is enough enough? It’s the whole thing of being satisfied and knowing when to stop. I really wonder if her personal at home trainers were telling her to loose more weight. At what point is it unhealthy when someone has lost a significant amount of weight but wants to loose more? Maybe it’s an issue of not feeling complete or good enough.
The world needs therapy on this one, seriously.
