ABC has this new show that they’re filming called Obese, and it follows eight severely overweight people as they try to lose a significant portion of weight from home. Only problem with taking eight really super fat people and telling them to shed pounds for money? They’re desperate, obviously. Desperate to lose the weight and desperate for the cash. Don’t we live in a fun world?
Apparently one of the eight contestants, 25-year old LaRhonda Darby, was rushed to the hospital in Oklahoma City this weekend due to severe dehydration. LaRhonda was taking water pills, you guys. Water pills aren’t a joke. I took them for two weeks a couple years ago and I’d wake up every morning feeling like my body was made out of bones and dry seaweed. Not cute.
I dunno, I’m pretty tired of seeing these kinds of shows. I just think that they’re more disrespectful than they are inspirational, and if these people are motivated by money and prizes and not their health, I doubt that whatever weight they loose will stay off for good. It seems like they’re almost mocking people who are essentially handicapped.
